but How The Web2.0 handling Documents? that`s another story (another post)
Hamza Emad Eldeen

Are We There Yet ?!! , that`s Q. i planned to answer the last post.. to prefer to later and test some more Web Based Medical softwareand medical web sites … almost all what i test didn`t adopt Web2.0technologies and features , which including simplicty (in Development -Design – and use ) as well as Web 2.0 Technologies as Ajax .. many ofthat software basic .. and focused on the concept it`s DB application(EMR – EHR) ..

lake of communication i notice with some (I meanbetween the for the patient and the doctors ) ….some of EMR softwaresdidn`t get Calenders ….. including more communication details as (Emails – Skype – IMs accounts ) i mean Web Communication features ….

For Developers it`s quiet hazy for editing especially or developingmodules , or re-architecture the system … ( I means for open source systems )

Medical Web sites : many of old respective medical search engines …didn`t adopt the Web2.0 features yet .. but here we have 2 featuredprojects : healthline.com , healia.com -as medical / health care search engines

So.. that`s the Main Q .: are we there yet ? yas and no

• Yas ..

1. We use blogs and it`s quiet Web 2.0 publishing system.
2. Now Wikis .. at WikiPedia ….and Wetpaint Wiki
3. Search Engines

• No.. here for Web based medical wares / and Web1.0 Style Medical web sites .

Hamza Mousa. medpeek.com stuff

Web2.0 Revelation all over the Internet including featured useful project , we all use , but here i want to exclude some points about web2.0 and medicine – health related use .

• what`s web2.0 ?
• web2.0 featured projects – and related medical projects
• Web2.0 Conepts in Medical Informatics Development.

What`s the Web 2.0 ? is web Revelation
, based on new concepts to develop the web sites and treat the Web as
Platform , so now u used some web sites sometimes as desktop
applications , The main new concept is the simplicity , in design , development , information delivery , Web2.0 included many featured projects filed under many sections as (RSS – Podcasts – Weblogs – Wikis – Social bookmarking )

Web2.0 featured projects … adapted web2.0 concepts in developing web based systems make the internet more interactive , more simple to use , that adaptation included in :-

• Social Internet : Social Bookmarking del.icio.us , connotea.org (alot of social bookmarking services available now)
• Social News system : Digg , Newsvine.com
• Desktop like application : Online office (ThickFree Office / gOffice)
• online feeds readers ( Netvibes.com / google reader )
• Podcasts Services – using many Technology to produce podcasts including simple blogs , but what the online podcasts services? odeo.com to subscribe podcasts feeds / Podcasts.net as podcasts directory and podcasts search engine
• Wikis : www.wikipregnancy.com -

What do we need to get out of the Web1.0 for the medical / health informatics related projects ??

• Web2.0
  power is in the simplicity , in design , and development , that`s make
  the projects really handy and easily to update with new features when
  it`s needed
• User Interactivity , that features provided by ajax , adding more interactivity and life to the web page , but is that the main use for ajax ?? (i`ll try to exclude it later another post)
• Simple Notification – RSS feeds , that feature included in many blogs – CMS – Wikis
• Rich Internet application : as Flash / Multimedia / adobe
• Simple search Friendly : remember the ajax elements not search friendly
• ajax Frameworks “alot of ajax frameworks Opensource free” but which is one to use?
• Modularity :- Modularity system allow the developers which use
  the system to add and customize the system according to their needs ,
  that`s could be developer side .. developing extensions – Plugins & addons sometimes make the system more strong and flexible especially if that Modules easy to develop simply

some notes about medical informatics developmet and web2.0

but Medical informatics and Web 2.0 are we there yet?????
