E-DRUG: Launching PDA4HEALTH, new electronic forum!
---------------------------------------------------
[From our hosts (SatelLife) comes this "advert" for a new discussion group.
If you own a PDA, you might be interested. WB]
Coming soon - join now!
PDA4HEALTH, a new electronic forum setup by SATELLIFE, aims to share
up-to-date information, knowledge, and experiences on the use of handheld
computers for data collection and information dissemination in developing
country health settings. Organizations and institutions engaged in field
projects are encouraged to exchange the lessons they have learned,
challenges faced, and successes achieved.
PDA4HEALTH will allow easy communication via simple email messages on a
broad range of topics related to the use of handheld computers in clinical
education and patient monitoring and public health program management. The
range of topics will include, but not be limited to, choice of equipment,
memory requirements, recharging devices, power issues, selection of relevant
content, formatting needs, developing surveys for data collection, database
creation, analysis of data, and generation of reports. Creative ways to
expand applications of the handheld computer will also be explored.
Trained moderators will ensure that appropriate messages are sent to the
discussion group to maintain a high quality dialogue.
SATELLIFE (<http://www.healthnet.org/>www\.healthnet\.org\) is dedicated to
serving the urgent health needs of the world's poorest nations by
stimulating the flow of information through the innovative use of
information and communication technologies.
