Web based portal
In collaboration with Manil Maskey, Dr. Susan Alexander, and Helen Conover, a prototype of the web-based portal has been developed (http://tpp.uah.edu/).
Technological Concerns
Why do I need healthcare technology? Healthcare providers are busy people
and need tools that move with them How do I choose what to use?
Not all apps are created equal Is it really all that necessary?
Mobile devices can improve efficiency, coordination of care for the patient, and provider communicationsMichael, S. (2011). Making mobile health work for your medical practice: What is ‘mhealth’ and how to plug into
it. Accessed from: Mobilehttp://www.welldoc.com/LinkClick.aspx?fileticket=dN_kaDt8Eco%3D&tabid=104
Healthcare Apps
Electronic Health Record is the most important application driving investment above 28% from HealthCare Industry. Next to it, Computerized Physician Order Entry and Medication Administration attracts investment above 13% individually (Source – Motorola)• Mobile Health Care applications will play vital role taking the Health Care systems to next level in future.

Mobile Health Care market to hit $2.1 billion by end of this year – growth by 17% in each of the past two years (Source – ComputerWorld)• Health Care Application set to become hugely popular and above 500 million consumers will be using the application in next 5 years (Source – Research2guidance)• More than 1/3 of 1.4 billion smartphone users will use atleast one Mobile HealthCare Application by 2015 (Source – Global Mobile Health Market Report 2010-2015)

Involve people, groups or teams to achieve common goals
Provide more effective ways to share ideas, documents, media, tools (not just emails, chats)
Allow users to submit or update contents Improve communication Control access Manage and index contents Categorize contents Integrate semantics Provide basis for Mobile App Knowledgebase Social Media Integration
Advantages of Collaborative Environments
Technology Basics
Refresher Course Content Management System Drupal Feeds Resource Aggregation Forums Mobile Apps
Drupal
A popular Web Content Management System (CMS), open source (GPL), ~10 years old (Dries Buytaert)
Large user and developer community, thousands of contributed modules, science applications
Modular and extensible Framework written in PHP, runs on
major OS platforms
Core Features Content management
With admin user interface Custom content types Versioning Taxonomy support Search support
Template & theme system Separation of content from view* Many faces, same content
User management User authentication and role-based authorization Many extensions available, e.g., LDAP module
Concepts
Administration Interface: build and administer a site
Node: underline storage units for all types (“base class”)
Comments: comments on a node Users and Roles Theme: assembles HTML, scripts to display
content Block: information placed on a display location Publish contents to Social Media
