Medical "press cutting"

The web application helps doctors' work and e-patients' browsing by mapping authentic online contents. The PhD student carries on his "online missionary work" too; he is going to start the world's only online medical course for the third time in September. Following the example of his course American and Dutch universities are also going to launch netmedicine courses in the future.
 
 

According to a survey, the number of patients using internet is steadily increasing, while the proportion of internet literate doctors does not show any increase. To fill up this gap, UD student Bertalan Meskó launched a new online application at the Webicina.com webpage, available free of charge for both patients and doctors. The webpage gathers professional medical information by considering quality marks, and the intensively increasing stream of news can be easily followed from now on with the help of a free service called PeRSSonalized Medicine (http://www.webicina.com/perssonalized).

„A unique – and free! – online „press cutting” service has been added to the weekly updated Webicina. The application is useful for both doctors and patients, since it makes it very easy to follow the developments in specialized medical fields and diseases. I’d like to show that it’s possible to find and monitor quality medical information online without serious knowledge on computers. And my fellow doctors and I are going to share our knowledge and experience of webmedicine at my course starting again in September at UD” Bertalan Meskó summarized his e-medical activity briefly.
