Announcements

JMIR Medicine 2.0 papers from Stanford conference
The Journal of Medical Internet Research (JMIR), the leading journal in eHealth with an Impact Factor of 4.7, is the official journal of the Medicine 2.0 congress series and workshops/events/summits produced under this brand. Today, JMIR is proud to publish the first full paper based on a presentation at Medicine 2.0'11 in Stanford. It is based on the award winning presentation of Bassam Kadry at Medicine 2.0'11, and can be found as full paper here: Kadry B, Chu LF, Kadry B, Gammas D, Macario A Analysis of 4999 Online Physician Ratings Indicates That Most Patients Give Physicians a Favorable Rating J Med Internet Res 2011;13(4):e95 URL: http://www.jmir.org/2011/4/e95/ doi: 10.2196/jmir.1960 The Multimedia Appendix in this paper is a video of his Medicine 2.0 talk, and is also published as Medicine 2.0/JMIR podcast on itunes. Thanks you to all other presenters who have already submitted a full paper of their talk to JMIR or the Medicine 2.0 Proceedings. Over the course of the next months, these papers will appear either in JMIR or in the Medicine 2.0 Proceedings (as Stanford was unable to sponsor a "Theme Issue" this year, these papers will appear within regular JMIR issues as soon as they are accepted). For details on the Medicine 2.0/JMIR partnership see the Call for Papers which was handed out to all presenters at Medicine 2.0'11 in Stanford (our apologies that the CfP did not make it into the program booklet this year). A short reminder for Medicine 2.0'11 presenters: If you want to take advantage of the significant Article Processing Fee discount for Medicine 2.0 presenters, the deadline to submit the full paper to JMIR is within 2 months after the conference, which is November 18th, 2011. Missed the submission deadline for full papers? No problem! Presenters can submit thir full paper to JMIR at any time later after the deadline, but will then not be able to take advantage of the Article Processing Fee discount. Or submit to the Medicine 2.0 Proceedings (within 6 months after the conference, deadline March 18th, 2012).

How to use the QR Codes on the badges
Medicine 2.0 attendees will note QR codes on Medicine 2.0 badges, which contain a URL to the profile page of each participant (or another URL which attendees specified when they registered). Use an iphone/android app like Redlaser to scan he badge of the person you are talking to. We combined this powerful tool with the Medicine 2.0 Social Network, which means not only can you see the profile of the person you are chatting with when you scan the QR code, but that person is also automatically added to your personal profile page as a "user you have met"... Apart from having a nice logbook of who you met at #med2, you can use this to expose your contact information (email address) selectively to people you met or you added as colleagues or friends. Business cards are so out... Let's see who wins the award for making most connections at Medicine 2.0! (Note: When you make a connection for the first time, after scanning the QR code you will have to login so the relationship can be stored. Before the conference starts, make sure you have your username/pw handy - use the "forgot password" option if not. Also, before the congress starts, edit your profile to review/change your privacy preferences - we recommend to show at least your name, affiliation and country publicly to all visitors so you appear on the attendee list, but make your contact information only available to people you connect with. BY DEFAULT, YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS IS NOT VISIBLE TO YOUR CONNECTIONS, SO MAKE SURE YOU ENABLE THIS SO PEOPLE WHOM YOU BEFRIEND CAN GET IN TOUCH).

The Medicine 2.0 Social Network
The Medicine 2.0 Social Network on this site allows all users of this website to create a profile page and to add relationships with other users, speakers, or attendees of the conference. To become a member of the network you do not have to be a attendee, simply create an account here. While the med2sn is already operational since about 5 months, we just now have added email notifications to the system, i.e. whenever somebody creates a relationship with a user, this user will receive a notification. This can be controlled via Edit My Profile (in addition, there is a URL in the notification email which allows the user to suppress these notifications. As a starting point for the med2sn, click on the menu point SPEAKERS/PARTICIPANTS, and connect to past and current Medicine 2.0 presenters, or click on the list of ABSTRACTS to connect to users with similar research interests (click on the author names to see the authors' profile).
