Contextualized user experiences are one of the key ideas of web2.0 interfaces. This translates into not presented users with irrelevant options. In EHRs, clinicians are provided with screens with 100's of checkboxes. This can be addressed by providing analytics that determine the 20 relevant checkboxes. It was in part to solve this issue we started MEDgle ( http://www.medgle.com/ ) . At MEDgle, our focus is to enable scalable health by facilitating the distribution of care tasks to the most cost effective individual while ensuring quality of care through real-time clinical intelligence. Feedback, thoughts, etc are very welcome! Cheers Ash disclaimer (I'm the CEO of MEDgle)

Part of the reason we started MEDgle ( http://www.medgle.com/ ) was to help make sense of all the data that is (EHRs) and will be (sensors) generated. The huge amount of data generated needs to be analyzed and prioritized before being presented to caregivers. At MEDgle, our focus is to enable scalable health by facilitating the distribution of care tasks to the most cost effective individual while ensuring quality of care through real-time clinical intelligence. Though as the article points out there is a risk of over dependance. The question, is how to achieve balance that provides the best outcomes. Feedback, thoughts, etc are very welcome! Cheers Ash disclaimer (I'm the CEO of the company)

Thanks ... I guess we didn't test that case :) Had the folks get on that... The fix should be rolled out! Ash

It was to help solve this exact problem that we started MEDgle - http://www.medgle.com/ . We've just finished our app clinicians and starting beta testing with hospitals and urgent cares. Our focus is to enable scalable clinical operations powered by 100+ million relationships and algorithms. Also our entire health analytics cloud is available via our APIs - http://www.medgle.com/corp/developers/ . Just contact just for API access. Feedback and suggestions are very welcome. :) Cheers Ash

Towards this and to assist patients,nurses,physicians, hospitals, clinics, etc we developed MEDgle http://www.medgle.com/ . We're still in beta but feedback, suggestions and more are very welcome. We believe strongly in empowering everyone with the best personalized evidence based options anywhere anytime. :) Cheers Ash

Thanks for the link..

We don't believe MEDgle is a complete health care solution by itself. Our hope is that is is used in conjunction to improve the quality and timeliness of health care.

Cheers

We (MEDgle) completely agree. We are looking into whatever ways we can to help people articulate their symptoms. Any ideas?

Cheers

What you outlines is definitely where we want to go. Any suggestions how we can make it clearer for people to do a search and print it out and take with them when they have the visit? As the per patient adverse reaction to drugs, we are currently working on the infrastructure. We recently finished cross-connecting the drugs and diagnoses.

Any other suggestions?

Cheers

:) Any thoughts on how MEDgle can be more helpful? Cheers

Thanks for the feedback... :)

We've had a few instances where folks where just copying the data we had. This was an attempt to protect the IP we have put together.. Any ideas on how we can protect what we have done and provide the options without login would be much appreciated. Also, all the options are available via the auto-complete on the textbox.

Cheers

snl2587, thanks for the feedback as well.

All the symptoms are available through textbox with auto-complete. We restricted the symptoms shown in the visual section because "some" folks where just coping and using it elsewhere. It was the only solution we could come up with to stop mass copying of the difficult to find data that we have put together.

Any ideas on how we can protect our IP without requiring the login for all the info would be much appreciated.

We are definitely trying to describe the symptoms as a patient would. Currently we are working on some natural language analysis, so that people can free type their symptoms. Also, any other suggestions are very welcome!

Cheers

Reziac... thanks for the feedback. You can enter up to 4 symptoms (no-login required), you just need to enter the first one to get the second box to appear. (Any suggestions to make this clearer?) Glad the visual search was interesting... The game basically presents lots of different scenarios allowing people to test their medical diagnostic skills. :)

We (myself and a couple of doctors) started MEDgle (http://www.medgle.com/ ) specifically to help people understand the possible causes for their symptoms. Hopefully this will help combat cyberchondria by giving people reasonable causes, not the most dire. And as you stated, people should always talk with their health care provider. Any feedback is much appreciated. Cheers
