Podcast/itunes: Presentations have been audio and video-recorded, and we will make them accessible over the course of the next 12 months (we still want people to go to the Medicine 2.0 congress, so the participants heard it first...).

Information and Reminders for Presenters |
|
| Please see schedule for details on your presentation date/time/room (except posters). Oral presenters should prepare 15 minute talks (+ 5 minute discussion). Panels may have different arrangements - contact your panel organizer (When in doubt, divide the time of your session by the number of presenters and you'll get the approximate time per presenter including discussion). Some 90 min session slots have only 3 talks - in this case presenters have 20 mins + 10 min discussion time. We will provide a presentation laptop (PC) - presenters are asked to bring their presentation (Powerpoint file) on a USB thumb drive and copy it to the presentation laptop (at the latest in the morning or the break before their session). Please name your file as follows: day-room-time-lastname.ppt . E.g. 17-cr2-1330-amin.ppt refers to a presentation on the 17th, in room CR2, at 1:30 pm by the first author Amin. 18-aud-1530-dzenowagis.ppt would be a presentation in the Auditorium at 3:30 pm by Dzenowagis, and so on (see schedule). We do have wireless Internet connection, but we advise not to rely on a working connection for presentations - prepare screenshots instead. We will also provide extra screens showing #med2 tagged Tweets, so you can involve the audience by asking questions. It is NOT necessary to submit PPTs in advance - bring them on a USB drive to the conference. Poster presenters should be advised that poster boards are 6ft (wide) by 3 ft (height). Do not use push pins - velcro only! (please bring velcro tape). Presenters at the unconference session should preferably present without Powerpoint slides, and limit their intervention to 15 min. If you plan to talk during the unconference session, please add a note at http://medicine20.crowdvine.com/posts/4815231 |

Inaugural JMIR Medicine 2.0® Award goes to PatientsLikeMe researchers |
|
| The winner of the 2009 JMIR Medicine 2.0® Award has been chosen: We are happy to announce that the inaugural JMIR Medicine 2.0® Award goes to the presentation "Patients Informing Practice: Post-Marketing Drug Data in PatientsLikeMe, an Patient-Centered Online Community" by Jeana H Frost, Sally Okun, Paul Wicks, and James Heywood. The paper will be presented as closing keynote at the Medicine 2.0'09 conference in Toronto, on Sept 17-18th (http://www.medicine20congress.com). In the winning research abstract, Frost and colleagues describe how PatientsLikeMe, an online platform with over 40.000 members, offers a unique real-time approach to understand both utilization and performance of drugs across different populations. This patient-supplied data can provide evidence about secondary uses of drugs , or about drugs that are off-patent and therefore unlikely to be studied systematically. The JMIR Medicine 2.0® Award is valued at US$1000 and is designed to encourage and facilitate publication of a full paper of the research in the Journal of Medical Internet Research (JMIR). The Journal of Medical Internet Research (JMIR, http://www.jmir.org) is - with an impact factor of 3.6 - the leading and most influential peer-reviewed journal in the health informatics, ehealth, and health services disciplines, and is sponsoring an award for the best paper presented at Medicine 2.0®. We look forward to hear Dr Frost's presentation at Medicine 2.0'09, and to read the full paper in JMIR! About Medicine 2.0®: ---------------------- The Medicine 2.0® conference (http://www.medicine20congress.com) is the leading international academic conference on social networking and Web 2.0 in health. The program for the 2009 conference is available at http://tinyurl.com/med2sched |

Abstract Decision Notifications sent out - IMPORTANT instructions for abstract submitters |

!!! Deadline extension !!! |
|
| As the submission site inadvertently closed too early (8pm, instead of midnight, due to a wrong time zone setting), we have added a grace period. Submissions will close on May 20th, 2009! Follow the great submissions we got so far via RSS or on twitter, and submit your presentation proposal! | |

Abstract Submission Deadline |
|
| *** Last day of Abstract Submissions - today, May 15th! (extended until May 19th) http://tinyurl.com/dd469w *** Just a few tips and notes regarding the last-minute abstract submission frenzy: 1) Abstract submissions will close today at midnight (UPDATE: grace period of 4 days added) - but we suggest you submit your abstract today before 4pm E.S.T. so that we can assist if something goes wrong 2) IMPORTANT: Check your email (incl spam folder) for an instant and automatic confirmation email (Submission Acknowledgment). If you did not get it, your submission might not have gone through, or you entered a wrong email address - both is not good. Contact pcairns at ehealthinnovation.org for technical problems. 3) It is NOT possible to edit or delete your abstract after submission. Sorry - there has been a misleading statement on the website to that effect. But you will be able to edit your abstract after peer-review/decision before it is posted. 4) Follow submissions (see what others are submitting!) at the RSS-feed http://feeds2.feedburner.com/Medicine20AggregatorV2 in near-real time. We tried to use twitterfeed to feed those to twitter (http://twitter.com/medicine20), but it doesn't seem to be very timely or reliable. Good luck and we look forward to your submission. |
