Only few days ago IBM announced the openning of their own new virtual healthcare island on second life .
It looks as an additive post to my last one published yesterday.
The "big lions" are thinking "virtual" as part of their strategic plans in the health 2.0 world and as part of their vision concerning the healthcare sector in general.
It seems that the island for the current is more a front station for IBM to present and show their vision regarding healthcare system including presentation of their EMR, EHR tools/platforms etc .
IBM's plan is to develop more their island in the next following months .
Worth waiting

virtual conference in the healthcare sector
Not many of us, physicians and/or other professionals in the health and biomed sectors aware of the power and the opportunities in the virtual world - Second life
One of the possibilities there is to participate in many professionals meetings and virtual conferences.
This is going to be one of the emerging fields in the health 2.0 sector.
There are inputs from the ground that its going to be a hot trend.
One of these input is the virtual presentation/demo that gives a general introduction for the next virtual Himms coference this year.
It will be the second conference while the first one took place in May 2007.
If you are looking for more detailes for the next coming conference just visit here: http://www.himssvirtual.org/.
Im not sure on base of which platform this virtual conference is going to be but its similiar to the platform of an Israeli SU called Unisfair.
Recently Unisfair raised another 10M$ from Norwest Venture Partners and Sequoia Capital so it seems that some strong players think its a promising field.
Its interesting to read about experience with this virtual conference.
One of the sides are the organizers. here is a link for a short interview with an organizer ( its not an health conference but it can give us some ampiric detailes concerning these virtual meetings).
In the near future im sure we will see more applications and web platforms combining the virtual world to the health/medical sector and vice versa.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention bought his own island in Second Life
Amazing
I'm dedicating this post to my collegue Bertalan Mesko from scienceroll ( who writes a lot about Second life):
CDC (The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) bought an island in Second Life world this month. They paid for it 2,000$.
This purchase is part of "being there" and established the CDC existancy in the virtual world.
The strategy is to reach a new audiance in the web world by running such an island.
The island will be the center of the CDC in Second Life world.
A lot of people think that living your life through avators in the virtual world will be more and more popular and common . Maybe it will become the way people will navigate in the web in the near future.
The CDC intending to open the island for public this fall.
