Welcome to the first edition of mixtapes & meds, a top-whatever list of medicine 2.0 stories and links from my Twitter and around the web, updating weekly.

  1. Nothin’ like a good incentive! Bayer’s Didget attaches to the Nintendo DS and rewards young people for monitoring their blood glucose levels. Dedicated checkers get instant access to goodies such as extra game levels.
  2. “First, Do Harm.” Mother Jones weighs in with this cutting feature on doctors in the military – from withholding treatment to participating in torture.
  3. University of Toronto’s Robart’s Library washrooms apparently have new Dyson Airblade hand dryers. The Dyson website claims it dries your hands in 12 seconds or less (15 is the cutoff?).
  4. Say bye-bye to medical receptionists? Design her electronic replacement at OliviaGreets.
