After completing a residency in pediatrics and one in preventive medicine at Johns Hopkins, I started a practice for my neighborhood of Williamsburg, Brooklyn in September 2007. People would visit my website; see my Google calendar; choose a time and input their symptoms; my iphone would alert me; I would make a house call; they'd pay me via Paypal; and we'd follow up by email, IM, videochat, or in person.

Fast Company calls me The Doctor of the Future. I've got a design and consulting firm called The Future Well. Read more about me here.

  • iRobot will watch over your grandma

    iRobot has just announced that their next product will be a home robot that watches over independent older people.

    I love my Roomba. It vacuums my apartment, makes cute noises, terrorizes my dog, and makes me feel like I’m living in the future.

    I have high hopes for iRobot. An affordable cute little robot that can sense if grandma is in distress, can remind her to take her pills, and can alert the authorities if something is wrong? Awesome.

    I can’t wait to get this for my grandma.
