Webicina - medicine in the web 2.0 era

If you're a regular reader you know I'm a fan of Bertalan Mesko, whose ScienceRoll blog is a great source of information (and a frequent link target).  Bertalan has been a leading proponent of what he calls Medicine 2.0, or medicine in the web 2.0 era.

He has recently announced that:

I'm building a bridge between physicians and e-patients. This bridge is called Webicina.com.

Of course online medicine is going to rely on digital representations of medical data. Each medical subdiscipline is being challenged to figure out how best to acquire, view, manage, and distribute the data from their modality in digital form. Aperio is the leader in providing solutions for digitizing Pathology information, viewing and analyzing those data, and distributing them online. We look forward to working with Bertalan on this venture to help physicians and their patients share digital pathology information.

This will be fun to watch evolve!  Stay tuned for more...
