How do you stay up to date with the latest news?
Daily there are tens of interesting new articles and fun facts. The amount of information on our social media feeds seems unlimited. Our time unfortunately isn’t.
Imagine you could use the community focused on your professional interest(s) to curate the news for you. Imagine their voices would decide which articles are worthy of your time and which ones can be ignored. Imagine you would have all interesting articles available at your fingertips in a condensed one-shot view.
That would be great, wouldn't it?
Enter HealthBuzz.
The Pulse of Belgian Healthcare
HealthBuzz is a community curated information channel focusing on the relevant news discussed within the online Belgian healthcare community. It lists articles in three languages (Dutch, French and English) and allows you to get a daily or weekly overview of the hot and much debated topics. You'll find content from the renowned Belgian medical journals, healthcare related articles from the mainstream press and quite some international healthcare content ranging from more in depth articles from Nature to global healthcare news from the New York Times .
If you're a Belgian healthcare professional HealthBuzz helps you to squeeze your time and ensures you stay up to date.
Next to listing the must-reads it also shows you the top tweets, the hottest trends and the key events in Belgian healthcare. Last but not least HealthBuzz also gives credit to those healthcare professionals sharing information via social media. They are recognized for their contributions through the influencer lists. These lists give an overview of the key opinion leaders in Belgian healthcare on Twitter.
Nurturing Healthcare Innovation
In a complex field with so many different actors such as healthcare it's not straightforward to keep an eye on the big picture and stay up to date with what's happening outside the hospital or office walls. Pressure on the healthcare system more than often leads to a lack of time to remain informed. This can result in a narrow view of of what's going on and make you lag behind, without even knowing you're lagging behind.
This is exactly why I'm thrilled to have In4Care as a supporting partner for HealthBuzz. The mission of In4Care is to inspire and connect healthcare actors. A broad view on the healthcare world is inherently an important ingredient to make this happen. Teaming up was hence a natural fit to further nurture healthcare innovations.
HealthBuzz was launched at In4Care's Inspire Healthcare on December 6th and is now available at your fingertips at https://healthbuzz.be/
Enjoy!
