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.

  • Microsoft Health Tech Today with Dr. Bill Crounse: Dr. Jay Parkinson, MD, MPH

    Bill interviewed me recently for Microsoft’s Health Tech Today show a few weeks ago. Bill is doing wonderful things with his show and truly highlighting others across the world who are improving the health of their communities. This is the second month of the show. Last month, Bill interviewed Archbishop Desmond Tutu who talked about leveraging technology to improve global health. He also interviewed Dr. Kim Pittenger who is using Toyota Production System concepts in the primary care clinics he runs in Washington state. Healthcare has a ton to learn from other industries, and I’ve been a believer in Toyota’s concepts for years. Mark Graban is doing a phenomenal job helping implement these models in healthcare institutions all over the US. I encourage you to watch them all.
