Internet in Medicine

From the preface of Hans van der Slikke (SIM Chair): Society for the Internet in Medicine This year the MedNet congress has four tracks, of which every track has its own motto: 1. Internet for Informaticians and Clinicians – “Towards the new web technologies” – Shared information in patient care and follow up – Healthcare quality and standards – Internet in health management and administration 2. Internet for Teachers – “Towards effective use of new e-learning tools” – Knowledge maps – the modern ways of lectures preparation – Practical experiences with virtual medical schools – Internet in continuing medical education 3. Internet for Librarians – “Towards the new roles of medical libraries” – Web mediated evidence based information and multicentre medical research – E-publishing – the problems and special questions – The evidence of national web resources and Information retrieval technology 4. Internet for Web providers – “Towards the new ways in web presentation” – Quality of web information for health care – The responsible patient online – Internet and developing world These tracks, however, have smaller and bigger side-tracks and crossings and all lead to one goal: better and more effective healthcare for everybody by empowering the citizen or patient and supporting the medical professional. Or: “How can the Internet help the doctor to be a better doctor and the patient to be a better patient?” All abstract of the oral presentations are available for free (OPEN ACCESS) via "Technology and Health Care"

From Netvibes Universes to Netvibes Premium Universes?

I am still trying to create and improve the DIGICMB Universe and now they tell me I could also have it as an EMBEDDED Universe INSIDE my own (library) website. Check here the Premium Universe of Le Figaro Newspaper web site called Myfigaro and you will see the Url is: http://www.lefigaro.fr/monfigaro/ . However, Fred Mini , Chief Operating Officer (COO) of Netvibes , in his French blogs adds "for those interested" that these Premium Universe are "Not for Free"... Read more about Premium Universes at the blog called NETVIBER EXPERIENCE. This Premium Universe gives freedom for more customization and advertising. I will get info on how much it costs soon, i hope. Tags: netvibes , universe , premium , rss , personalisation , sharing , publish , library , libraries , api , widgets , feeds , tab s

PubMed Search & News Widget

OK, I think Toolbars are great for quick easy access to search databases, free or licensed databases. Users can use this jumpstart search to get to their preferred search engines direct from their browser window. But not everybody is allowed to install browser plugins or add-ons. To distribute the Toolbar functionality like the search & news options, I create derived widgets that can be used as a whole in many social networks , websites and intranet sites, everywhere where it is allowed to put up html. The PubMed Search & News Widget is the latest one. I just got confirmation from Widgetbox that they approved it. "Derived" in this case, means, the widget is using the PubMed Toolbar installed custom searches and the installed rss-feed of PubMed New & Noteworthy .
