[pronut-hiv] Launching PDA4HEALTH, new electronic forum!

["Leela McCullough" <leela@healthnet.org>]

Coming soon - join now!

PDA4HEALTH, a new electronic forum setup by SATELLIFE, aims to share up-to-date information, knowledge, and experiences on the use of handheld computers for data collection and information dissemination in developing country health settings. Organizations and institutions engaged in field projects are encouraged to exchange the lessons they have learned, challenges faced, and successes achieved.

PDA4HEALTH will allow easy communication via simple email messages on a broad range of topics related to the use of handheld computers in clinical education and patient monitoring and public health program management. The range of topics will include, but not be limited to, choice of equipment, memory requirements, recharging devices, power issues, selection of relevant content, formatting needs, developing surveys for data collection, database creation, analysis of data, and generation of reports. Creative ways to expand applications of the handheld computer will also be explored.

Trained moderators will ensure that appropriate messages are sent to the discussion group to maintain a high quality dialogue.

SATELLIFE (<http://www.healthnet.org/>www.healthnet.org) is dedicated to serving the urgent health needs of the world's poorest nations by stimulating the flow of information through the innovative use of information and communication technologies.
