Making sense out of a Health Website!

From the well known like medindia and doctorndtv.com to the better but less known like goodhealthnyou.com & healthcaremagic....Everybody today is talking about selling Health on the net.How is your website better than mine..? My page rank is better, your Alexa rating is higher...

In Business, failure costs so much of money that nearly every satisfied company avoids risk of innovation. I may help you with facts but for creativity you will have to help yourself. Hold one finger first Are you and your website into Health products

or, Health content,

or, Medical Consultation.

Integral to every Web development project is the understanding of elements evolving within e-health. For most of the start up companies in India, business is an exciting time during which they are invigorated by the possibility of success and the fun of tackling new challenges.But where do they make mistakes:

1.Incorporation: While incorporating is an appropriate step for many businesses, it pays to wait until your business idea is well formed before taking the plunge.

2.Research: Arrange to speak to as many of your potential customers as possible. Questions to ask include: Would you buy my product or service? Where do you currently obtain this product or service? How much would you be willing to pay for it?

3.Infrastructure:A nice office and great computer equipment make many entrepreneurs feel as though their dream of entrepreneurism is coming true.Save here!

4.Designing: I have a flash template with animations and a wow look so what..if it requires the customer to download a plugin..He would rather cross the window..

5.Trust: Ever geard of emotional visitors..well if you are into internet that too into health..you should know them..They love to hear from you, Introduce your people, what all you do? where are you situated? Charity, Success and forth coming events..Are u coming on paperback, let them know?

3.Hon Code accredition.

4. Online support, Guides and newsletters.

Innovations that caught my attention recently-#Healthtech

No. 1- Lyme bacteria use the same technique as White Blood Cells to navigate and move in blood vessels In an interesting case of convergent evolution Lyme bacteria use the same technique as White Blood Cells to navigate and move in blood vessels.To zip through the bloodstream and spread infection throughout the body, the bacteria that cause Lyme disease take a cue from the white blood cells trying to attack them. Both use specialized bonds to stick to the cells lining blood vessels and move along at their own pace, biologist Tara Moriarty and colleagues report September 6 in Cell Reports. “It’s really an amazing case of convergent evolution,” says Wendy Thomas, a biologist at the University of Washington in Seattle who wasn’t part of the study. “There’s little structural similarity between the molecules involved in these behaviors, and yet their behavior is the same.” No.2- Wearable Robot for people who lost their hand function This wearable robot helps disabled patients re...

PDAs in Healthcare -Passe or in Vogue

The PDA is a very small and portable, handheld computer, which has many more functions than a calculator, and the capacity to store information much like a Personal Computer (PC). Basic functionality available on most PDAs includes an address book, schedule, calendar, note pad, and e-mail. The PDA is convenient to use in clinical and field situations for quick data management, and the information can be synchronized with a PC . By means of a wireless network, information can be exchanged anytime from anywhere to and from a PDA, and the network will provide immediate access to all kinds of necessary clinical and administrative data .

A large number of medical students take advantage of the PDA for educational purposes and patient care with great sa...

The real India- mHealth and beyond ICT

After spending 20 days on-ground with PHCs and while supporting some of the major initiatives in India, I was tempted to do some cut-throat analysis. I realized that 25% of the total Income generated in India is in the hands of mere 100 rich families. What's more! this huge gap is increasing day by day. After independence, the valley has only widened up between the rich and the poor and the growth that we envisage is still miles away from the hands of a common man. Photograph courtesy @ Shashwat Nagpal Over 72% (that would be over 620 million) of India’s population lives in its 638,588 villages. It is hard to believe but in India, a common man is most indebted to healthcare after dowry. Most families earn less than $1/day and some of the major initiatives by NGOs suffer as there is so much distrust about Government policies and efforts in the country. In villages, healthcare in India still starts from Security, clean drinking water, better sanitation facilities a...
