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.

  • My Innovation Integration Timeline

    juliaallison:

    The history of great innovations is always the same:

    they are invented
    they are adopted by a few
    they are ridiculed
    they are adopted by a few more
    they are feared
    they are adopted by a few more
    they are discussed
    they are adopted by many
    they are praised
    they are absorbed into everyday life
    they are seen as so obvious it’s hard to imagine the world any other way
    they are written about in mainstream media

    ;)
