Jamie Heywood founded PatientsLikeMe with his brother — and the ALS institute before it

Met at Esther's conference; the patient-data pioneer whose work is this record's subject matter from the patient side

Person

Who this is

Jamie Heywood — met at Esther Dyson's ~2006 conference — founded PatientsLikeMe with his brother Ben, and before it the ALS Therapy Development Institute, built around his brother Stephen's disease. In this record he stands for the patient-side origin of the health-data-sharing question the architecture answers from the infrastructure side: PatientsLikeMe proved patients would share their data for collective benefit a decade before the institutions figured out how to let them do it safely. The direct thread beyond the conference is Jonathan Hare's to add.
