helped propel into action an idea that holds the promise of dramatically
improving patient care and human health throughout in the world. The
Accelerator Award is based on an Innovation Cell methodology that analyzes
which organizations or people in healthcare have put an idea or strategy
into action that has generated significant positive “buzz” or “chatter” on
the World Wide Web – notably, on patient-led blogs and social networking
sites.

Cell based at Massey College at the University of Toronto. The Innovation
Cell specializes in making sense of  <http://myhealthinnovation.com/> online
