What is Webicina?

Webicina is a privately held company aiming to build a bridge between physicians and e-patients. Webicina provides services that help medical professionals and patients enter the web 2.0 era.

How can Webicina help physicians enter the web 2.0 era?

With personalized Medicine 2.0 Packages, step-by-step tutorials, webinars and online image building solutions. Webicina was designed to help physicians from all the medical specialties and patients as well to get closer to the web 2.0 based world.

Who are e-patients?

They are patients trying to find reliable medical information on the web; they want to communicate with their doctors via e-mail or Skype; and they store their medical files online.

They will want their doctors to answer web-related questions and recommend them reliable medical sites. Will you be able to help them properly?

Is Webicina only for doctors?

Webicina is primarily for medical professionals and healthcare workers, but is open to patients as well.

Why do we need a bridge between physicians and e-patients?

The number of e-patients is growing rapidly while the number of web-savvy doctors is not.

The basics of practicing medicine will never change dramatically due to new technologies or the world wide web, it will change the way healthcare is delivered.

Not because of the technology itself or the attention it receives, but because patients will need this kind of knowledge and expertise. And physicians of the 21st century must be ready and qualified to meet these expectations.
