We are always very happy when Webicina gets some exposure in the media. Now BusinessWeek published an article about web 2.0 and medicine in which Webicina.com, the first free social media guidance service, was featured.
Clyburn said that about 45 vendors now offer blog or microblog sites dealing with physician issues, some of the most pressing of which are the implementation of EHRs. Among the more popular sites are Sermo.com and Webicina.com.

In 2008, I launched the world’s first university elective course focusing on internet and medicine for medical, dentistry and pharmacy students. Now the 4th semester is just over and I thought I would share the material again. Over 130 students, 10 weeks, 20 slideshows. I tried to cover all the important topics in this area.

- 2010 Spring Semester Week 2: Medical blogging
- 2010 Spring Semester Week 3: RSS and Microblogging
- 2010 Spring Semester Week 4: Wikipedia and Medical Wikis
- 2010 Spring Semester Week 5: E-patients and Medical Communities
- 2010 Spring Semester Week 6: Virtual Reality in Medicine
- 2010 Spring Semester Week 7: Social Media in Healthcare
- 2010 Spring Semester Week 8: New Media in Medicine and Education 2.0
- 2010 Spring Semester Week 9: Google Story and Medical Search Engines
- 2010 Spring Semester Week 10: Web 3.0, Web 4.0
What I’m most proud of in this semester is that E-Patient Dave sent a personal video message to my students about being an e-patient and what kind of doctors they should become.
Students filled a questionnaire before and after the course and I plan to publish the results in an open access journal during the summer.
See you this September in the next semester with new materials, Prezi.com slideshows and more.

In personal or direct-to-consumer genomics, what we need is reliable, scientifically correct smartphone applications. Here is DIY Genomics, and Android app, which performs a side-by-side comparison of consumer genomic services such as deCODEme, Navigenics and 23andme by loci and variants for 20 conditions. It also does the same for drug responses and health risks.
What can you do?
Select 1 of 20 top conditions covered by consumer genomic services
Side-by-side locus, gene and SNP comparison of deCODEme, Navigenics and 23andme
Selecting any SNP row, comparison of underlying studies cited by company
Click-through to PubMed study listing
Actually it provides the user with reliable pieces of information that might help interprete the data.

MedMatcha: The dating agency for medical advertising May 26, 2010
Posted by Dr. Bertalan Meskó in Blogging, Medicine, Web 2.0.11 comments
Frankie Dolan, the founder of MedWorm.com, just came up with a great idea about how to bring closer quality advertisers to quality medical bloggers and services. Here is an excerpt of the mission statement of MedMatcha:
I started to realise that a lot of medical companies with worthwhile products that the industry would benefit from knowing more about, do not even bother with online advertising, since there simply isn’t an easy, reliable, trustworthy, cost effective way to go about advertising online. Advertisers need to be able to have control over where their ads are placed, to protect their product’s reputations, and of course they also want their ads going only to highly relevant audiences, which are often hard to identify on the net. They too want a simple solution, without any big financial commitment, so that they can ‘test the waters’ easily, and then further invest in only those campaigns that are proven to be effective.
MedMatcha can be thought of as the dating agency for medical advertising. You fill in a detailed profile of your product/service/website, and it finds you the most closely matched advertising partners. Both advertisers and publishers have to be in agreement about a match before the ads roll.
The more registered services it has, the sooner it can launch. You can register here.
