The best medical blog out there, Medgadget.com, has recently covered the TEDMED 2009 conference and they have been sharing video interviews with us for weeks.

For example, in Hungary, in some cases doctors must print reports and sign those by hand because of the legal regulations. But with Shareable Ink, it seems there is light in the tunnel.

A piano in a hospitalEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Lee Aase from Mayo Clinic shared an interesting story with us at the recent Reshape 2009 event in the Netherlands. They placed a piano in the lobby of the hospital and an old couple showed their talent. The video became a viral one and now has more than 4 million visits. A few weeks later, the couple appeared in many US TV shows as well: Lee described in his slideshow that it cost around $75 to make this happen but bringing the joy to the world through music is priceless. Great example how hospitals can reach patients via social media. Here is another story: Alex Walton-Creutz began drawing crowds by playing the piano at...

This is the third semester of my university credit course, Web 2.0 in Medicine, that I launched at the Medical School and Health Science Center, University of Debrecen. We are at week 4 out of the 10 and I’m very happy to announce that we just passed the 100 milestone which means now more than a hundred students attend the course.

They also have to fill a survey before and after the course so I can see whether their attitude changes during...

This March, I gave a keynote at the Health 2.0 (Zorg 2.0 in Dutch) conference organized by Lucien Engelen from the Radboud University Nijmegen Medical Centre. Now he invited me to give a Prezi again in Nijmegen, the Netherlands but this time I focused more on Webicina.com. I presented many practical examples about how the pharma sector, e-patients, doctors, students and researchers should use web 2.0 and then presented Webicina in details. I also dedicated my slideshow to the strategy perspective. I mean it’s not a question any more whether social media can be used in medicine and healthcare. But now we must focus ...

A few weeks ago, I wrote about the medical and scientific implications of Google Wave that might revolutionize the way we communicate nowadays.

This video shows how to combine Google Wave with the medical data stored in Google Health: Artificial Intelligent Doctor: Systematic and thorough: can check millions of variables Not emotionally involved: will not stop after finding the first problem System evolves: continuously improves over time Phil Baumann has recently covered this topic in details.
