Yesterday I read an interesting article published at Economist.com.
Its abouts Lively, Google's virtual world which turned to be so far a flop.
Mark Evans wrote in his blog about some other misses and swings of Google in other web sectors such as Orkut for example, in the social communities sector.
Others as me wrote about the leading power of google's project in the health 2.0 world. Im not changing my view.Im still thinking that Google will have a tremendous influence in the E-Health sector, but still, this article just explain us that probably many others, already here and yet to come, firms and start-ups, are going to bring and create enormous positive competition on the Health 2.0 sector.

Taking notes Applications
Every physician or researcher who is looking for and gathering information from the web can get some help by "Taking notes" applications.
Mashable gives us an excellent summary that covers 10 applications of this kind.
Even here, in this section, you can find a Googles variation but there are others which are helpful and fulfill their task.
Enjoy.

E-Anatomy Atlas
Attached here an excellent imaging/anatomy E-Tool.
Its a free interactive anatomy learning web/Health 2.0 tool.
It is based on More than 1500 slices from normal CT and MRI covering all over the human body.
The image series combined with textual information, 3D imaging and anatomical drawings.
There is a possibility to write remarks and comments regarding specific sections or organs.
As I observed it its looks highly professional. It was also mentioned previousely in "Radiology" journal .
To obsereve and watch the full screen images you need to create a free membership.

PHR buzz
I read yesterday the attached article about the acqusition of the collaborative care management services vendor- MEDecision by Health insurer - Health care srvice corporation for $121M in cash.
It seems from the positive aspect that Google and Microsoft penetration to this market is causing a buzz - creative one.
Potential buyers, developers, IT solution providers companies,Medical professionals and consumers are getting more and more interested about this subject and enjoy the fruits of this prosperity.This growing interesting is having financial influence
From the strategic aspect, as I wrote above, this is a good atmosphere for all the competitors but later on some of them surely will pay the price of the "Big lions penetration/involvement".

Intelligent search engine
Everyone are looking for the killer application that will enable intelligent search platform for health information.
Its mostly needed for consumers who find themselves eager for such information.
The information is already there on the web but its so cahotic and time consuming so we need the right tools to bring us high quality health information.
there's already various SU which are trying to resolve this problem.Its going to be one of the hot subjects in the health 2.0 world.
There will not be only one winner. Probably there will be few ones. The winners will bring huge value to patients/consumers .
To this neighborhood we are expecting to have a new member called Infomedmd.com.
The basic concept of this platform will be a questionnaire form that will enable to understand the right information needs of the consumers.
In their site meanwhile there is only a promo " going to be here soon" - In July. So we are waiting for you, guys.
The people beyond this venture have a mix and rich knowledge concerning :
Medical practice, innovation, web world and applications.
Good Luck

New Englaned article about EHR
Attached here an important survey published several days ago on New England Journal Of Medicine.
I will not summerize the article and let you enjoy reading it by yourself.
Although, I want to quote one sentence:
"Financial barriers were viewed as having the greatest effect on decisions about the adoption of electronic health records".
The above sentence is related to the fact that only minority of the American physician adopted already an EHR platform at their outpatient clinic.
I quoted this sentence because this barrier is perhaps also another opportunity and challenge for the Health 2.0 sector.
Creation of an interactive web based EHR will be probably one of the subcategories in the Medical/Health 2.0 world.

Establishing a web world for junior scientists
The University of Leicester Research Training Innovation Fund has funded a new project. Its an Health 2.0/science 2.0 project
They are trying to establish a small social networks for junior scientists which are lacking an important professional connections with their colleagues in the real world on the base that they are tend to work in an isolate environmemt ( small labs and on private projects/research).
The concept is to create seeds of small social networks that in the future will connect between themselves and will create a huge platform of brain storming for those who are really need it in the right time of their careers and they are lacking the right resources ( budgets and time) for that in this stage of their professional life.
The platform will bring some well known web 2.0 applications such as:
Rss , Microblogging tools, Wikis, Social bookmarking .
I think this is an important and a unique project :
1. The concept of not bieng a SU but a "kind of a research program" will give them an advantage to be more criticise and to learn more deeply the truely needs of the scientists from the web in general and from social networks particular
2. They choose the "right market" for this kind of project - Eager scientists who are willing to improve their abilities and professional connections. Most of them are probably young and are more prone to adopt advanced web
technologies
3. The concept of "small networks" will help them to examine more carefully the pro's and cons of the project and the applications within the networking.
So good luck guys
Let us know how you are progressing
