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/&gt;www\.healthnet\.org\](http://www.healthnet.org/&gt;www%5C.healthnet%5C.org%5C)) 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.
