Premature death of Prof. Jean-Claude Healy, a leading e-Health thinker. He will be dearly missed.
L'un des Français qui ont le plus contribué au développement de l'e-santé en Europe fut le Professeur Jean-Claude Healy, décédé soudainement le 21 mars 2008, en France, à l'âge de 65 ans. Nous apprenons cette nouvelle avec grande tristesse, car Jean-Claude Healy était aussi un grand humaniste et un supporter énergique des idées nouvelles en neurobiologie et dans d'autres domaines.
La cérémonie mémoriale a lieu le mercredi 26 mars à sa maison dans le Sud de la France. Nous transmettrons vos messages éventuels à la famille.
Let me add that he was a fabulous "connector" to use a term from "Tipping Point", always knowing whom to introduce to whom to get a project moving forward. He was also a faithful fan of my earliest eHealth, pre-blogging newsletters, such as Silber's Net.
