Myca/Hello Health is launching it's new platform in a special Deep Dive at Health 2.0 Meets Ix, Weds 22nd at 12 noon. Sean Khozin will also be demoing it as part of the "Building Health 2.0 into the Delivery System" panel.
What's so intriguing about what Jay Parkinson has been dong with Myca and Hello Health? Jay's been holding himself (and Hello Health) up as a new alternative to the current broken primary care model. So is this really a revolutionary platform? Or are they just tilting at the windmills of America's broken primary care system?
I visited Jay for a chat last week at Hello Health's first outpost in Williamsburg, Brooklyn.

This is great that collectively the medical community is trying to reach out to ‘the patient’, understanding their needs and finding solutions to address the bugs. As a physician I have felt that the patient who is the most helpless is the one paying out of pocket, with no resources and knowledge about the cost he will have to incur. I have started my company to bridge that gap and help patients find relevant information before the get a service done. This to empower ‘the patient’ to become a savvy customer- http://www.healdeal.com/healdeal/
Hello my name is Kenneth Larson. I am a Certified Peer Specialist that needs work. I am a prior Mental Health Client at the agency I work at now. I have an amazing recovery story and feel I would be an asset to the health and wellness New Mexico. I am currently working at The Counseling Center in Alamogordo New Mexico. I am working part time (6 hours a week) because of budget cuts and need full time. May 2, I will have 4 years Clean and have been very busy helping others and leading a very stable lifestyle.

Drug policy Alliance New Mexico put this DVD out last year and is now in school around the state. Go to: http://www.LetsTalkNM.org to check it out. I was the 2007 star consumer for Otero County. My outlook on recovery is this….Recovery is a process by which an individual regains their self-esteem, dreams, self-worth, pride, dignity, and meaning or a deeply personal , unique process of changing one’s attitudes, values, feelings, goals, skills, and/or roles. I believe we can and do recover because I am living proof. I love what I do and have a passion for helping others. I would like to sale myself on this…… I do have 3 years working in the field in a residential recovery house with Substance Abuse clients and mental health clients at the counseling center. I have some college, lots of conventions, classes, CEU’s, excellent letters of recommendation from the counseling center, The Otero County Counsel on Alcohol and people I have worked with in the this community. I am willing to cross train, relocate, go back to school or do whatever I need to work do to work in this field. Please get this plea to, or in the right hands. Thanks for all your help in this matter.
