Peter LaMotte Clears The Air About GeniusRocket at TEDxWDC

Many of you may remember my less-than-kind critique of GeniusRocket a little while back. Peter LaMotte, the president of the company, was so kind as to comment on the article (amicably!) and invite me to their DC office to discuss the matters further.

Our meeting was an eye-opening experience, and I am much more at ease with how their model works now. If you’re still wondering how this story shook out, this speech, given by Mr. Lamotte at TEDxWDC, may shine some light on the GR process. The company is nowhere near as bad as I originally thought; they’re just geared towards a different type of audience than I expected.

From mapping out defibrillator locations to listening to patients, there are a number of opportunities for crowdsourcing in the healthcare field.

This talk raises some very important points and is definitely worth taking a few minutes to watch. Please check it out:
