Blog. There is a new social campaign being launched right now on Webicina.com that curates the medical resources of social media in 80 topics in 18 languages: We receive hundreds of suggestions from empowered patients and medical professionals every week about which social media resources should be included in our selections, and we thought we must find a way to let them know how much we appreciate their help.So now we kindly ask you to tell us your story about how social media helped you improve your health management or helped you get better in your specialty in order to win grand prizes.As we curate resources in basically all the social media platforms, you can tell your story in any platforms from Twitter and Facebook to blogs and Youtube.
Your submissions will be reviewed by an expert jury, members of the Webicina Advisory Board. The very best of these stories will get great publicity. Here are the details: Who can enter the competition: Prizes What is the timeline of the competition? Conferences. Rock Health. Quantified Self Conference Europe 2011. Quantified Self Europe 2011 is a conference for users and tool makers interested in self-tracking systems. It will be a "working meeting" for the QS community (40 groups worldwide), where we will gather, inspire, and learn from each other as we share and collaborate on self-tracking projects. We will also explore the potential effects of self-tracking on ourselves and society. If you are an advanced user, designer, tech inventor, entrepreneur, journalist, scientist, or health professional, please join us for a weekend of collaboration and inspiration!
Note: We are happy to welcome 250 attendees, and we expect to sell out, so make sure to grab your spot and register today. Most of the conference will be hands-on and interactive, with user-defined workshops on mood, data visualization, sleep, ethics, and anything else people want to see. We will also have the best speakers from QS Show&Tell meetups reprise or update their talks on the big stage, and a few amazing keynote speakers. Medicine Unboxed.
