With the growing demand for qualitative health information on the web, also Diagnosia keeps growing. Not only in terms of traffic, but also on multiple other levels we are taking the product and the company to the next level. We’ve spent the last months on some large scale architectural changes on our backend and are releasing a new version of the site very soon.
To cope with all those new software enhancements, our team has significantly grown to almost double the size compared to when we started Diagnosia, so we thought it’s about time to introduce you to our newest team members. The people who are responsible for making Diagnosia run smoothly and for implementing exciting new features, that will change the way patients and physicians interact with drug information on the web.
Martin and Ivan, both originally from Slovakia, and now working out of beautiful Vienna, are now supporting our CTO Stefan on the backend. They are both seasoned developers and vital for improving our perfomance and overall site experience.
Florian, who has joined us recently, mostly works on the stuff you, as the user, actually see. He’s famous for pixel perfect codes and has an eye for detail – elements that we believe are crucial for shipping a product that’s getting better every day we are working on it.
Finally, we are happy to have Peter on our team who’ll be heading our sales department. Simultaneously to our product development we have been working on some very innovative features and products targeted towards physiciand, pharmaceutical companies and other stakeholders in the healthcare industry. We don’t want to share too much information on these products yet, but keep an eye on this blog to find out more soon.
Apart from our great team addtions we are also hosting an exclusive event about “Digital Pharma Marketing” on October 3, 2011, within Europe’s finest Startup and Tech event – Startup Week 2011.
In October, Marco our CEO, will also be joining a panel at Europe’s most prestigious Health 2.0 conference, discussing “Search, Content and Communities – The Next Generation of Information Sharing#”. If you are interested in these things then we highly recommend being part of this unique, european event.
Lot’s of stuff going on in our tiny, but strongly growing, startup. We love what we do and we’ll work hard on making our product even better and offering some of the industry’s most innovative products for the health 2.0 industry.
Since our unexpected success at the Doctors 2.0 conference in Paris earlier this year and our continous growth all over Europe we’ll be attending another must-attend conference in the area of Health 2.0 – the 2nd annual Health 2.0 Europe in Berlin on October 27-28, 2011.

It’s been some weeks since we’ve returned from one of Europe’s leading e-health events, namely the Doctors 2.0 & You conference in Paris, where we’ve met some of the brightest and smartest minds in e-health in Europe. Apart from a great conference, with a variety of workshops and presentations, we’ve also had our very own Diagnosia.com booth and were able to present our service to the attendees – and the feedback was great.

When a number of people gather to start a company then there’s many hurdles to take. One of the more complex ones and a potential bottleneck for succesful startups as well is the way work is being organized and managed. In the early days of a company – and often also at a later stage – there are redundancies of work packages. Workflows are vague and undefined. Setting up a proper and coherent work and management environment is crucial for so many reasons.

E-Health ist seit der Ankunft des Internets und der Technologisierung von Medizin ein heisses Thema. Seit mehreren Jahren spriessen kontinuierlich Jungunternehmer hervor die sich auf Geschäftsmodelle an der Kreuzung zwischen Medizin und Technologie konzentrieren. Im traditionellen Österreich wird in der Regel der Begriff “e-Health” politisch betrachtet und sehr schnell ist von ELGA und e-card die Rede. Es scheint, als ob der Präfix “e-” magisch dazu verleitet alles damit vermeintlich verbundene in einen Topf zu kippen. Eine Differenzierung und Betrachtung auf internationaler Ebene findet hierzulande leider nicht statt. In der Realität, und in den USA seit längerem, reicht die Bandbreite von “Social Media im Medizinbereich” bis hin zu Roboterchirurgie. Nur zwei Beispiele die die unterschiedlichen Modelle widerspiegeln welche gemeinhin als “Healthcare IT” oder “e-Health” subsummiert werden.

Liebe Nutzer/innen von Diagnosia!
Diagnosia wird noch diese Woche nach Österreich, Schweiz, Spanien und England auch in Deutschland mit Medikamenteninformationen an den Start gehen. Spätestens dann ist es möglich, sich über alle im deutschsprachigen Raum zugelassenen Arzneimittel zu informieren. Sowohl Packungsbeilagen als auch Zusatzinfos für medizinische Fachkreise werden dann zu Verfügung stehen. Wir freuen uns in den kommenden Wochen auf zahlreiche Zusatzfeatures, wie eine krankheitsbezogene Suche, die es ermöglicht passende Medikamente für eine bestimmte Krankheit zu finden oder Neuerungen im Health Center.
Viel Spaß wünscht das Diagnosia-Team
