New Databases Coming: Online Database of Foreign Health Data To Aid Travelers Abroad & Other Sources

Online Database of Foreign Health Data To Aid Travelers Abroad

Medex Global Group, a provider of emergency medical assistance and insurance, is partnering with Harvard Medical International, a subsidiary of Harvard Medical School, to offer an online database of information about foreign health care for travelers, the Wall Street Journal reports...The database, called Medex 360m, offers detailed advice for travelers on health risks and recommended immunizations for particular countries, as well as lists of recommended hospitals in some countries.

Users will have to purchase a travel-insurance policy, which costs about $2 to $4 per day for each trip, to access the information. Each country report then costs about $10, or slightly less for customers that purchase multiple reports. Corporate clients do not pay any additional charges to use the database, the Journal reports.

Thursday, 24th May 2012

Click to view the article The fallacy of information overload
Wednesday, 23rd May 2012

A lot of the talk around social media in the last year has been around information overload. Social media has provided us with new and exciting ways to create content. But it has also meant learning new ways to manage and engage with social media tools. Are we teetering on the edge of an information overload precipice?


Click to view the article Information overload: fact, fantasy or filter failure?
Wednesday, 23rd May 2012

Information overload is a figment of your imagination. Or a failure of your filter. Or a symptom of your technological submissiveness. Depends on who you ask.


Click to view the article Newsdesk: tracking millions of pieces of information a day
Tuesday, 22nd May 2012

What if you had to sort through 3.5 million articles and social media posts a day and try to pull out the most relevant items for your organisation? What if you then had to cobble it all together into something readable for your top groups and executives in your organisation?
