El pasado 14 de octubre en el salón de actos de la Universidad Rey Juan Carlos se hizo entrega del premio Intel al Médico 2.0. Convocado por la Cátedra de Innovación y Gestión Sanitaria de la Universidad Rey Juan Carlos, el premio consistía en un ordenador portátil para el mejor caso clínico sobre Medting

En la foto (de izquierda a derecha), Francesc Balletbo (Janssen-Cilag), Miguel Cabrer (Medting), Angel Gil (Catedrático de Medicina Preventiva y Salud Pública URJC), Cesar Henriquez (ganador del premio) y Carlos Piqueras (Intel).

El caso ganador fue “Cardiomiopatía restrictiva” del Dr. Cesar Henriquez, del Hospital Clínico de San Carlos. Las imágenes del caso:

Nuestra más sincera enhorabuena al ganador y felicitar a los patrocinadores (Intel, Janssen-Cilag), en espacial a la Universidad Rey Juan Carlos por haber liderado esta innovadora iniciativa.

Medting is developing an innovative advertising scheme that would serve to sustain the website but could also benefit non-profit organizations by providing a source of funding.

Very basically described, we are thinking in putting advertising (an sponsor logo) for each image or clinical case. The sponsorship income is going to be co-shared between Medting and the owner of the case / image.

Our difference is that the Doctor is going to select the advertising company he wants to show. That means that the doctor can directly arrange with any sponsor for putting images or cases in Medting. Medting would take a fee from that posting.

There is also another scenario more for the non-Profit organizations. A doctor can post a case and say that he wants to collaborate with a Non-Profit Program or Institution. In that case Medting or the Institution will select the advertising company. It’s a way where Non profit institutions may get some funding for their innitiatives, humanitarian help or research activities. Also the sponsor could be the Foundation or Association to get the interest of searching patients.

These are new revenue models we are thinking. The win-win relationship and the possibility to help for the global health innitiatives development is quite exciting for Medting Team.

Before moving forward with this idea we would like to get the input from our community and see how this could be preceived. We now adversiting in healthcare is a delicated topic but doing it in a relationship where all the involved agents win is definetly something for all to consider. Moreover where the real winner is healthcare since the more knowledgement we interchange the faster we get medical advances.

Please include your comments for our discussion.

Why is Medting different from using Flickr or Youtube?

We are an specialized platform for doctors, we know clinical workflows and medical environment. Let’s remark some of the functionalities of Medting that would have to be more remarkable:

1. Selecting content by medical specialty, subspecialty. Cases and images can be filtered by specialties, (user has to loging to be allowed to filter content) See more

2. PubMed related articles, when reviwing a clinical case or image with Keywords, a PubMed search is sent to recover the latest articles published related to that case. Very useful for clinicans. See more

3. Multilanguage translation: both the keywords, the text and the comments can be automatically translated to several languages (english, spanish, german, russian, arabic, chinese, etc.). Use the box on the left when reviwing a case. Doctors speaking only their local languages can have a conversation and auto-translate the messages. See more

4. Private use of Medting. User can create private cases, images and videos. Private content can only be reviewed by intivation from the author. This makes Medting a great tool for Telemedicine. See more

5. Medting allows to open images with a professional PACS Viewer diagnosis. See more

6. Zoom tools to review the image. See more

7. 3D Images view. (to activate this functionality please read here).

8. Medting Enterprise Partnership also allows Virtual Online Clinical Sessions and some more interesting functionalities.
9. Medting also allows to upload content directly from Medical Devices. Thanks to a technology called MIO from C2C. See details here…

10. Medting works with DICOM Images.

11. Medting is a expert tool for clinicians, only by registering and login you will really get know about the experience.

12. Connectors: Medting provides intersting Medical viewers to be used in any other website. See a sample here

We already have a winner in the first edition of the prize to the ‘ Physician 2.0 Award ‘, which was delivered in Toronto last September 4 during the Medicine 2.0®. Congress.The winning clinical Case is “Synovial sarcoma of the pericardium” published by Doctor Keith Kaplan from “Mayo Clinic”.

The prize was an Apple iPhone 3G.

The awarded case images are shown next:

MDPIXX has changed the name to Medting.

Medting seems more appropiate  since it’s an action “Medical Meetings” so stands for Medical exchange but something else. Also business plan has been redefined and Medting is free and Premium Users are also for free, just a recognition of our best users.

The Digital Pathology Blog, a weblog for the digital pathology community and laboratory professionals has made an interesting reference to MDPIXX site.

Digital Pathology is a wolrdwide reference blog with high volume of users and readers.

We are proud to be on the blog and also happy to work with the writer which is one of our main Premium Memberships.

Medting is now supporting 3 dimensional view of the images with the picLens functionality. PicLens is the web’s premier media browsing experience. An example of the Medting Media Browsing:

To activate the Medting Media Browing functionality do this steps:

1. Install picLens functionality by going to http://piclens.com/
2. Go to Medting home page: http://medting.com
3. Push on the picLens button in your browser. The button seems different when using Internet Explorer (see example) or Firefox (see example). Enjoy Media Browser.

We have also incorporated 3D functionality in the atlas area of the user MDBoxx Space. So users can see their images in the Medting 3D Wall. To see only your images in the 3D Wall (once piclens is already installed):

1.  Go to My Atlas in MDBOX area (nned to be looged in): http://medting.com/mdbox/myatlas.php
2. Push on the picLens button in your browser. The button seems different when using Internet Explorer (see example) or Firefox (see example). Enjoy Media Browser of MDPIXX.

Medting is happy to improve the site and offer everyday more functionalities to our community.

We are just reviewing MDPIXX with some known physicians and first impressions and inputs are really possitive which give us energy for the firsts stepts.

Here there is the first comment: “MDPIXX site is a great idea to rapidly share case reports and videos from e.g. surgery between doctors and other groups within health care. The publication delay is avoided which may be up to 1 year for some medical journals. Also, some studies are rejected by the strict rules of journals and may never be published and lost for others to read. All new findings may thus be accessible to other doctors immediately. Another advantage is the video application. To my knowledge, this is a new thing and would be of great educational value. The site is perfect to quickly enter and obtain information about a given condition just encountered in the clinic. The main concern of doctors will probably be that the reporting on MDPIXX is not filtered through the reviewing process of other objective doctors and the reliability may be questioned. This is however also the main advantage of the site, and this site is needed when doing a comprehensive search of the literature. The name is easy to remember and the site is easy to navigate on. It would be good if everything, if possible, could be in English. Since doctors, at least in Denmark, tend to be quite conservative a lot of advertising will be needed. Everyone uses the Pubmed.com regularly. New sites may have a hard time. “

Today MDPIXX Beta version has been launched. First steps are about getting some base clinical cases and medical images from a reduced group of tester doctors.
