The 5th ICMCC Event will be organised from June 9-11, 2008, at University of Westminster Marylebone Campus, London, UK.
On May 5th 2008, prior to the eHealth 2008 Conference in Portoroz-Slovenia, the results of the Q-REC Project will be presented in the joint EuroRec - SDMI/Prorec.SI workshop called "Quality Labelling and Certification of Electronic Health Record Systems in Europe".
Healthcare professionals will soon be able to access the UKs leading drug knowledge base, the Multilex Drug Data File (Multilex DDF), on the move, following the development of a new drug reference application for mobile devices. First DataBank Europe (FDBE), working in partnership with Swedish software company MedHand International AB, will be offering the ability to browse Multilex DDF via a mobile device.
The term eHealth, although now quite current in Europe and, indeed, throughout the world, still is rather new, making its first appearances in the scientific and policy literature around 1999. Its predecessors, however, date back to the 1960s when the concepts of health informatics and bio-medical computing began to occupy the minds of academic physicists, mathematicians, and medics.
Developed in close cooperation between Transinsight, Dresden, and the German Federal Institute for Risk Assessment, Berlin, the knowledge-based semantic search engine www.Go3R.org is now available online. It enables information transparency for the prevention of animal testing.
