Job title
Responsibilities
Company size 1-10
Key activities 1. Legal and financial advising of health care institutions,
health insurance companies and pharmaceutical companies
2. Consulting of strategic plans in the medical field
Key products First. Interactive programs about pharmacology for
patients+students, example available at
http://www.ut.ee/ARAN/poster. This is a piece of our program
about treatment of hypertension. The
poster itself was presented in London during Mednet 98
(Annual Congressof Society of Internet in Medicine)
Second. User (patient) friendly web. Unluckily example
available only in Estonianhttp://www.doctus.ee
We do get about 10 e-mails a day over this web site, mostly
from citizens with health problems
Third. And very important. We are going to develop intelligent
search engines (pharmacology+disease) for internet. We do
see it the most interesting because in order to find
reasonable info over medical web one does not only need
gateways but simple search tools one can
adjust to his own needs as well. We are familiar with
analogous efforts in Europe (discussions during Mednet 98)
