Of the 12 brand website managers in the room, only three have mobile websites. A webpage can't simply be scrapped and translated into a mobile webpage. It has to be changed to fit the small screen brand.com site, while giving the concise required content that will satisfy both the users and the FDA. Toolhouse and Novonordisk created a mobile site the day Victoza.com the day the drug was approved by the FDA. In the first five weeks, 30% of traffic to the webpage was mobile. Had that mobile page not been ready, they would not have been able to capture those users.

I hope you enjoy it as much as I did! It’s Lonely at the Top, But It Doesn’t Have to Be It was a beautiful autumn morning in Kansas City. When I wandered out to fetch the newspapers a little after 5 a.m., the air was crisp, and the stars were bright. I usually don’t get on my way quite this early, but this was a special day, the opening of a new Roasterie Café. The café didn’t officially open until 6 a.m., but several of us had slipped in a little early in support of the owners, our friends, Danny and Carla O’Neill. There seems to be a special bond among successful business owners. Perhaps it’s the common experience, or the inevitable loneliness of ownership. Maybe it’s the fact that we all need a shoulder to lean on from ...

The Pharma companies are diving in as well, Astra Zeneca has adopted AZ Touchpoints, Boehringer Ingelheim launched an educational marketing campaign for doctors with Pradaxa, and Novo Nordisk has launched the "Coags Uncomplicated" app to diagnose bleeding disorders.  The article, does mention at the end, these technical advances still don't replace face to face contact and the benefits that can provide for the doctor/patient relationship or even t... ePharma Summit blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=4841953 Tue, 17 May 2011 14:20:00 +0100 4841953 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=4841662&cid=t_157236_113_f&fid=34634&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.emrandhipaa.com%2Femr-and-hipaa%2F2011%2F05%2F13%2Finteresting-balance-of-connections-vs-bias%2F Discussions at HIMSS Day 1 Today’s been a really interesting first day of HIMSS.

People suffering from extreme forms of anterograde amnesia, an inability to consciously recall new information, often display implicit memories without being able to display them consciously.  As an example, they may show a negative emotional reaction when interacting with a doctor who has  been rude to them, even though they can’t recall meeting the doctor.

They found out that indeed, blind people can understand speech even if sped up beyond the maximum rate that sighted people can understand. This seemed possible because the brain areas devoted to vision in people with eye sight turned out to be responding to speech in blind people. 10 syllables per second [is] the absolute limit of comprehension for sighted people. Blind people, however, can comprehend speech sped up to 25 syllables per second. brain scanner revealed that in blind people the part of the cerebral cortex that normally responds to vision was responding to speech.…somehow an unsighted person’s brain rewires itself to connect auditory regions of the bra...

If anyone is great at making an amazing first impression, it’s Kevin. My first “meeting” with him was when he sent me a personally autographed copy of his book, along with a personal note to let me know how much he was looking forward to meeting me in person. Though it took a few years, when we finally did meet (for a 6 AM breakfast), he didn’t disappoint and showed up for our meeting in a snappy suit and matching suspenders, and he followed ALL his suggestions to the T.

I’m making it my year of connections and of producing more great stuff instead of just having great ideas and not executing on many. As I start the year, I thought of 3 questions that will help me make this my best year ever. I hope they help you too! Who do I need to connect with? There are so many people I’ve encountered over the past 15 years, some I’ve lost touch with and some I’ve kept in good contact with. I’ll also be meeting a ton of new people this year as I travel around the world speaking at companies and conferences and continue to work in the online world.

It’s super perfect for her, and she’ll use that as she thinks about each challenge that comes her way. Though I am tempted to steal her word for myself, this year my word this year will be: Connection In past years I’ve tried to increase my network, and tried to learn more new things, and even tried to make more money.

One of the questions I raised had to do with getting physicians involved in the growing discussions about these plays for importance. It’s my view that physician involvement can be a sort of limiting agent, and that rather than “taking on” physicians, they should to be approached from where they are coming from so that they can better understand why it’s important to listen.

Of the time Americans spend online, 25% of it spent on social networks and 8.3% is spent on email. Solis believes that email is the original social network, but companies are looking to move into social networks due to the round-the-clock influence their information can have on networks. Over email, social networks can provide a simulate 24 hour connection, where individuals can obtain meaningful information constantly through message boards, invitations and communications en masse to groups.Solis emphasizes the importance of great information, and how these new social networks can compound and reach more audiences as individuals find valuable content and pass it ... ePharma Summit blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=3827350 Thu, 05 Aug 2010 14:32:00 +0100 3827350 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=3350382&cid=t_157236_114_f&fid=34646&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.healthlawyers.org%2FNews%2FConnections%2FCurrentIssue%2FDocuments%2F2010%2520Features%2FFeature_Mar2010_D.pdf The current issue of the American Health Lawyers Association's Connections magazine features an article I co-authored with fellow AHLA health lawyer, Jody Joiner, on the impact of social media use in health care.The article, Risky Business: Treating Tweeting the Symptoms of Social Media (PDF version), is featured in the March 2010 issue of AHLA Connections (Vol.14, No. 3, March 2010), a health lawyer magazine for the health and life sciences law community.We provide background context on the use of social media tools by health care providers, address why we think health lawyers need to understand social media, and explore some of the legal implications as social media and the law intersect.

OK, so it’s probably a voicemail or other messaging system so they can leave you a message and you can call them back. So let’s assume that’s true, and let’s focus on the message you have that people hear when they call your number. Many people have a plain vanilla greeting, and often you’re not even sure if you reached a human being or just a machine. “Hi, you’ve reached 555-1212. Leave a message.” BARF! Who am I calling, and why should I care enough to leave a message with you? “Hi, this is Phil. Leave a message. I’ll call you back. Thanks.” That’s a little bit better. At least I know I called Phil. Does he check his voicemail often? What if this is an emergency? Is there another way to reach Phi...

Nokia then supports  this practice by giving the new employee time to visit with each person on the list–even when that means traveling to other company locations.  The result is a very strong collaborative culture that gives new people a jump-start on building relationships that might take years to identify and build in a traditional organization.

There are many factors that can cause autism and genes was thought to play only a small role. So far, the genes that were found linked to autism explained only a small fraction of the phenotypes, and environment was the big chunk. The symptoms and signs that people with autism showed were also quite varied that it was hard to know if there was anything genetically common among them. On top of that, disorders that were classed as autism spectrum disorders (ASD) ranged from very severe to much milder forms and everything in between. Well, recently, scientists became very excited because a common genetic link was found among people with autism! To be exact 65% of people with autism showed a com...

Sometimes these are the romantic invention of fiction, whittled over time and worn smooth with frequent practice. Other children have no interest in such frills and fancies.“Tell me again!” she beams, not because she is a girl, but because she is typical.“Again?” I glance at her brothers, indifferent to the silent nell of bed time.“Go on?” she goads. I capitulate, not because she is really interested but because I yield to her desire to avoid bed time for a few moments longer.“Well…….I met your Dad when your big sister was about 4 years old.”“How did you know he was the one mom?” I debate the issue of ‘the one’ when in reality I was already divorced when I met him.“Lots of things really....

Or has a new insight crossed your desk that adds profit to what you already do? Research shows new brainpower that waits in the wings for connections that many of us miss. Brainpower is generated from even one hook between what you do now and where you are headed in the future. How so? At work you’ll likely move from ruts to results. Need more money? Bored with too many routines? Or simply tired of standing still – while others move past you? Progress at work comes from connections you spot and follow.  Modify how your brain links what you already do well … to what you’d like to do more successfully … by acting on one good link today.Your brain is geared to move you out of ruts t...

Politicians are uniting to build a $120 million campaign to educate diabetics to prevent the spread of the disease and its complications. Senator Clinton criticizes the reaction to the problem, rather than taking measures to prevent it from occurring. She questions why current money is unquestionably $pent on treating complications from diabetes -- such as amputations and dialysis. Good point, Senator. Ask Bush if he's got any friends up at Eli Lilly. A good answer can always be found in a temporary restraining order. She and fellow politicians propose more money be spent on programs for weight-loss, nutrition education and other ...

Mark Smith, missionary here for three years and originally from Franklin, TN, led our group, telling us about the area and the people. As we began to exit the bus for our first walk, a police car pulled up behind us and a couple of officers stepped out to provide us an unplanned escort for the duration of our time in Paraiso. What a blessing! Though the bus drove us as far as possible to each house, we had to walk quite a bit up and down steep and sometimes narrow walkways made of dirt and rock. Apparently, the neighborhood began with squat...

The fog really made the seminary where we stay feel even more surreal to me. After a great breakfast served by ladies at the seminary, we headed out to Sunday school at the Iglesia Bautista Shalom. The building which houses the church also houses a school for 700 children. The school was created several years ago to serve children who could not afford to go to school. Of over 200 schools, the school ranks in the top 10 in the country, and they've even received an award from the government for their excellence. In fact, they've seen such success that many of the more affluent families are now paying tuition for their children to attend: (Contact the Shalom Foundation, info@theshalomfounda...
