Abstract
Medicine is a very complex science
organized in a variety of disciplines. It is very
difficult for a medical professional to rely only
on his knowledge gained through school and
practice. Aside of already known PDA medical
assistants, intra-hospital consultations, web-forums, etc., our goal is to leverage the power of
modern ICT to provide a system dedicated especially to doctors, for the purpose of knowledge
sharing. The system simulates the following
ideal scenario: All doctors and all patients in the
world are in the same room, with all the logistics
they need at hand. To achieve this goal our
system consists of an efficient IR subsystem for
fetching the desired information as quickly as
possible with great relevance, a precise expert
locator to find the appropriate expert to address
the question, and synchronous communication
system that provides remote collaboration.
