Top Medical Platform Goes Multimedia
04:27 | Posted by
Louise Sopher
THE new and growing medical platform, Medpedia has recently announced the addition to its impressive colation of resources, health and medical videos.
I wrote about the launch of Medpedia, a new platform for sharing medical information between professionals, organisations and patients, a short while ago - to see the post click here.
The new feature pulls videos from the big names in information-sharing such as Big Think and the US CDC and FDC.
So far there is an impressive collection of articles with video on the site. The article pages contain, as with all articles on Medpedia, textual information divided into Wikipedia style menus and headings, useful links to other divisions of the site (communities; questions & answers, etc), as well as any photos and, now, a YouTube video insert under the heading 'Related Videos.'
The multimedia addition to the site follows Medpedia's success so far in creating a "one-stop site", as I named it in my article after its launch. It is pooling incredibly useful resources from dozens of different places. No more searching on Google and then a Medical site, and then YouTube to find all the information you're looking for: you can just use Medpedia. Hassle-free.
To take one page as an example, here is the article on Metabolism at Medpedia:
http://wiki.medpedia.com/Metabolism
Still in development, there isn't a whole wealth of information on this page as there is on some others and the 'Clinical' tab as yet remains empty. However there is a simple definition of metabolism and there is a YouTube video explaining how knowledge is being furthered about human metabolism, information of both common-interest and useful to those studying medicine at any level.
Linked from this page is an article titled: 'Alcohol Metabolism', which is one of Medpedia's more detailed and longer articles, explaining how alcohol is processed in the body. There is then a video on "How much is Too Much?"
