TauMed, a network for sharing medical experiences and information, has just opened up a mobile site for their service. The internet can be a sketchy place when it comes to medical advice – nothing can replace a warm-blooded doctor. But sometimes the experiences of others can round out your awareness of the issues that effect you. The community’s still young, having opened up around last October, but could prove to be a helpful database given some time to grow.

MedShare is now supporting BlackBerry functionality, allowing home care professionals to cut down on paperwork time by up to 10%. That might not seem like much, but anything the reduces the headaches of folks in health care is A-O-K in my books. MedShare really makes BlackBerry seem as the ideal choice as a platform for this kind of work.
“We’ve hit a critical mass,” [Barry Billings, president of MedShare] says. “We have electronic health records available through MedShare, wireless access through the BlackBerry platform, and society needing better health care access. Those three elements are combining to prompt the sector to re-invent how it delivers health care, and MedShare is the answer.”

For any doctors in the house, more information can be found here.
