    Failure to Deliver Meaningful ROI Online for Pharma? [view article]
    As the eHealth market continues to evolve, the winners such as WebMD, will publish original content in contextually relevant voice(s), systematically integrated with patient’s primary care pharmacists and physicians IT, and delivered on any communicating device, in a secure, private manner. Pharma brand teams needs to realize measurable economic benefits from eHealth organizations --- in a integrated (Print, Internet, Telephony) management information system Reply

    Google Health Unveiled: Open the Flood Gates [view article]
    Well, I guess we will agree to disagree. You are impressed by Google Health and I am not. Who knows? Maybe something interesting will evolve-certainly Google knows how to innovate. And its nice that someone is writing about online health. That is rare.

    But I dont think Google Health represents any additional value to cause any investor to buy Google stock. And this is a website about investing, right?

    a) Sorry, you work for a digital strategy firm specializing in online health (no market research)

    b) integrated, as in prioritized, a la Google Maps in local search: www.google.com/search?...

    c) agreed

    d) sounds like a pretty broad, general statement.

    A) I dont work for a market research firm.

    B) Google already has ADAM and every other content provider integrated into their search results.

    C) Google already is the leader in the online health ad space.

    D) Nothing about Google Health inidicates that they can gain traction with users or make money. Just saying that a market is "a billion dollar industry" doesnt make it so. In fact, I dont know anyone who is making any money in PHR field.

    My point here is simple: broad, general statements that have no historical fact or logical assumptions are useless. And how investors usually get burned....

    Anonymous Health Guy -

    Agreed, Google should “just stick to search” and ignore the billion dollar electronic medical record storage market…

    Especially since they’re going to get “zero traction” (a bold statement for a supposed market research firm).

    With Google's market penetration in other verticals, and their ability to store all your information (Gmail, Google Docs, Google Reader) I wouldn’t discount them just yet.

    Even modest rates of adoption could create what many would consider a home run – were it not for the high standards investors have set. Nothing will compare to search as far as generating revenues is concerned.

    And the data may be licensed from ADAM, but Google has the ability to integrate it into their search results. The competitive playing field is hardly level.

    I'll like to meet the first joker who shares all his medical data with Google.

    No offense but your evalutaion of Google Health shows a lack of expertise in the online health space. And as for their content, its simply licensed from ADAM just like tons of other health websites. The fact is there is no motivation for users to use this service, secure or not, and it will gain zero traction. People have been trying to get users to import their data for years with zero success. And now the WSJ reports that the CBO is saying that any benefit from digital health records is overstated and likely non-existent.

    Google should just stick with search. After all, they already eat WebMD's lunch by taking the majority of Pharma ad dollars already.

    WSJ’s Google reporter Jessica Vascellaro sent us a dispatch: “Google’s vice president of search products and user experience Marissa Mayer said the company is very conscious of the sensitivity of the information it is collecting and has taken a range of steps — including beefed up security of the servers where records are stored — to protect it. Consumers must also select which participating medical organizations can read and send updates to their profile and can tailor the permissions for different providers.” Reply

    How can you say WebMD "outperformed&quo... when it lowered its 2008 forecast just a week before? You still dont understand their business if you are still advocating this stock as a buy. Reply
