All-
One recurring frustration in my work focus areas (semantic web and healthcare, Health 2.0, Medicine 2.0, health tech startups) is the lack of cohesion between computational academic research, bioinformatics research, and startup health/tech activity.
This year I'm privileged to be co-chairing the first translational healthcare/internet track at WORLDCOMP 09, in the SWWS subconference, called HoIP (healthcare over the internet) with Andy Marsh.
Please check out the conference here:

Short abstracts are due anytime between now and April 25th... final, short camera ready IEE format papers (7 pages) are due that day (the deadline has been extended). Registration and payment are also due on that day, so submit prior to then if you'd like to present in person rather than merely having a paper published in the conference proceedings.
I'm available to answer any questions via email (jennifermccabegorman@yahoo.com, jmccabegorman@organizedwisdom.com) or via phone at 301.904.5136 (Blackberry)....I'll be submitting a revision of Nexthealth semantic web research and hope many of you will join me at WORLDCOMP!
