Web 2.0 in Medicine University Course: PicturesEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
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. The course has recently become an obligatory one at the Public Health Institute of Debrecen. I really enjoy the lectures because students are very responsive and have questions. They also have to fill a survey before and after the course so I can see whether their attitude changes during...

ReShape 2009: ReviewEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
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 ...

Google Wave and MedicineEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
A few weeks ago, I wrote about the medical and scientific implications of Google Wave that might revolutionize the way we communicate nowadays. But it’s hard to demonstrate its power without real examples. 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. Remember the BingyBot? Now imagine introducing a clinical bot...

out of the blogging drought?Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
I’ve just spent an enjoyable hour or so cruising around the net.. with music from YouTube in the background. Tonight we’ve had everything from the Proclaimers to who knows what (husband loves to do his accounts to YouTube music in our shared study!). Anyway… I started cruising tonight because I am cowriting a chapter for a upcoming textbook for fieldwork educators/academics/supervisors/preceptors (pick the relevant one for you). I’ve been reading an article by McGee & Begg published in Medical Teacher 2008 (30/2) (Yes I know find the hyperlink!)… McGee works at the Medical School at Univer...

HUGO Matters: New BlogEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
It’s good to see that huge organizations like the Human Genome Organisation are starting to use web 2.0 tools in order to reach people in an easier way. As Hsien-Hsien Lei just reported, HUGO now launched an official blog, HUGO Matters, that looks nice and I can’t wait to see the new posts and announcements so added it to my feedreader and the genetics selection of PeRSSonalized Medicine as well immediately. HUGO Matters is the central hub for HUGO’s social networking efforts. The blog will serve as a platform for discussions on genome technology, genomics and ethical, legal, and social issues, intellectual p...

Cochrane Collaboration, the reliable source of evidence-based information, is a global network of dedicated volunteers, supported by a small staff and it’s time even for them to join the web 2.0 movement, so I was glad to hear Jacqueline Limpens and Chris Mavergames held a workshop at the Cochrane Colloquium and published the slideshow as well: (Source: ScienceRoll)
