The old adage goes… “In one ear, out the other”… perfectly encapsulating the phenomenon of hearing something, but just not registering it. Now it may be that you just didn’t want to remember it in the first place (like that reminder to take out the bins) but what if, to a certain extent, this applies [...]
Every now and then we come across a site that executes the principles of digital strategy in a particularly impressive way. Etsy is certainly one of those sites. The enormous benefit of the all encompassing nature of the web is that you can find absolutely anything. The downside is that many sites offer so much [...]
With the industry-changing success of Nintendo’s Wii, swiftly followed by the intriguing possibilities of Microsoft’s Xbox Kinect, ‘physical interface’ and motion sensing input has suddenly become a mainstream reality for gamers, in what few analysts predicted just 5 years ago. So now that the technology has hit the high streets, it seems strange to [...]
When they announced it’s early retirement, the Google Health team explained how they were unable to translate their notable success in other consumer-centric services – including a search engine you might have come across, a certain user generated video site, web browsing and mobile operating systems – into the healthcare arena.

Not all of these make it on to our website (trying to be professional, after all!) but others, well, we’d like to share them with you – feel free to comment [...]

Emma and I recently went to meet NHS London. As a strategic health authority, they have led the field in implementing the digital patient record system and are one of the few, if not the only, SHA to have achieved 100% coverage.
