The Southern California Telemedicine Learning Center presented a great program titled "Using Mobile and Social Technologies to Improve Health Outcomes" Dr. Keven Patrick reviewed a few intervention studies involving texting and social networking to help patients and their physicians measure, monitor and improve health outcomes.
Dr. Patrick is a researcher with the Center for Wireless & Population Health Systems focusing on how the health of individuals, families, communities, social networks, and populations can be improved through the creative use of wireless and networked technologies and ubiquitous computing. They also study how to promote health and prevent disease and disability through systems-level interventions in clinical and community settings. Their website includes an overview of a variety of really interesting projects.

I agree with you. This type of projects should be encouraged and I think that these type of projects are the projects for the future.
