I found this excellent article earlier this morning on an Australian News website.
It details two social networking sites designed to help patients quickly setup personal pages to share information with friends and family.
CaringBridge and
CarePages are the two websites described and what's great is that the article provides both sides in terms of the patient and the hospitals perspective. It is really great to see Hospitals seeing the value in these types of technical solutions.
I can only hope that more adopt this technology as the ability for people to communicate and share their health story with friends and family is all part of the recovery process.

A couple of days ago I posted about looking for opportunities.
I must admit that I really didn't expect to hear from anyone but have been really surprised with the amount of emails I've received!
It looks like there are many people out there in a similar situation to mine with plenty of ideas, drive and enthusiasm.
So thank you to everyone who has emailed and feel free to continue either commenting or emailing. Perhaps we are onto something here....

It has been such a long time since I posted on the Tech 'n' Health blog.
I was quite shocked when I saw the last post date. How on earth has this time gone by so quickly!
This post is more of a plea than anything else so I apologize in advance to those expecting a different kind of post today.
I am putting a call out for any opportunities that might be floating around out there in this big wide world of ours.
The request comes mostly from a strong desire to change direction. Specifically, I don't want to work in Government anymore and I really like the idea of either working for a start-up or on a project that may offer further opportunities in the future.
You might be wondering why I haven't just started searching for opportunities. Well, I have. Google is an amazing tool, no doubt about that but it is almost impossible to find anything of real relevance. Work from home opportunities seem to be the most popular results and that certainly isn't what I am looking for! Well, actually it is ideally but not the ones advertised which seem to involve spending countless hours sending emails on behalf of companies..dodgy!
I would love to connect with others out there who are in a similar situation. Sick of working for the man (or woman!), lots of ideas, driven to succeed and a strong desire to challenge yourself.
Seems to me that there must be others out there that feel a little trapped or perhaps you have an idea you just haven't quite been able to get up and running. I may not suit every project but no harm is trying, is there?
You can either comment or email me if you prefer :)
