Web, Health, Μedical mashups

Posted by ginko

Σήμερα έπεσα τυχαία σε ένα post για Health & Medical mashups. Είχα διαβάσει πρόσφατα και ένα Ελληνικό post (webz.gr) για lifestream υπηρεσίες. Έχω την εντύπωση ότι οι 2 αυτές υπηρεσίες έχουν στενή σχέση μεταξύ τους. Τώρα για το θέμα μας, λίγα πράγματα:

Mashups are hybrid tools that take the functionality of two information sources, merge certain aspects of each, to create a novel third source.
Content used in mashups is typically sourced from a third party via a public interface or API (web services), although some in the community believe that cases where private interfaces are used should not count as mashups. Other methods of sourcing content for mashups include Web feeds (e.g. RSS or Atom), and screen scraping.
Mashups can be divided into four main categories, mapping, video & photo, search & shopping and news.

Τα mashups λοιπόν είναι web υπηρεσίες οι οποίες συνδυάζοντας δεδομένα από άλλες πηγές δημιουργούν μια νέα “ενοποιημένη” πηγή πληροφοριών. Για να καταλάβετε καλύτερα τι ακριβώς είναι κοιτάξτε το FriendFeed. Σύμφωνα με το MashupAwards το FriendFeed:

Allows you to keep up-to-date on the web pages, photos, videos and music that your friends and family are sharing on sites like Digg, Twitter, Last.fm and YouTube among others. You can also create and publicize your own social feed.

HEALTHmap: Global disease alert map.

Avian flu mashup: Tracks the spread of the H5N1 (bird flu) virus worldwide.

Who is sick?: A simple, user-friendly prototype for health consumers who wish to see disease outbreaks geographically as they are occurring.

eTBLAST: A text similarity-based engine for searching literature collections.

Biowizard: Conducts search results identical in style to PubMed but is also an online social network where researchers registered with an account can customize a personal profile on the Lab Wizard Network, list publications, share research interests, join groups, upload photos, and even chat live with others on the system.

HubMed: An alternative search interface to PubMed. Users create and visualize clusters of related articles, export citation data in multiple formats, receive daily updates of publications in areas of interest, navigate links to full text and other related resources, retrieve data from formatted bibliographies, navigate citation links and store annotated metadata for articles of interest.

Vimo: By using Google map’s application interface (API) technology, Vimo searches for the exact location of a health professional’s office when users click names on the Google map.
