I have been utilizing TweetDeck and Eventbox for sometime now for aggregating information from my various social networks. Both of these applications are based upon the Adobe Air which is operating system independent and works flawlessly.
With that being said, I thought I would do some searching to see what healthcare applications are out there that utilizes Adobe Air. Unfortunately, there aren't too may healthcare companies utilizing the Adobe Air platform. The major EMR companies should really look at the AIR platform with its ability to utilize applications in an offline mode.
The one company I found that is utilzing Adobe Air, is DLC Solutions, which specializes in developing eLearning solutions. They have developed a learning system for cancer patient called ENACCT. More information on this solution can be found on the DLC Solution Blog.
Hopefully, once the Adobe Air platform becomes more mainstream we will see more EMR and Healthcare applications available. platform which is operating system independent and works flawlessly.

Social Network Aggregator/Social Stream - Follow-up
Several weeks ago I wrote about Social Network Aggregator tools. Since then I have been heavily utilizing my iGoogle setup as my preferred aggregator. However, this week I stumbled across a new tool, "SKIMMER", that works on my both Mac/PC and connects to the more popular networks (Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Flikr). For the most part, Skimmer has the features for social networking but is a little bugging while establishing connections to each of the services.
What is really interesting about Skimmer, is that has been developed by a marketing firm. So I am sure it is a matter of time before you start seeing advertisements showing up on the Skimmer interface.
Update
After making this post I came across another aggregator for the Mac environment. "Eventbox" comes from the folks at Comic Machine. It provides access to Facebook, Flickr, Twitter, News Feeds, and Google Reader. What's nice about this aggregator that its interface has the feel of an email in box plus the features of a life stream.
