Welcome to the CyberCorner
Hello collaborators/colleagues,
I'm Kennedy Ganti, MD and am a resident in Family Medicine
at UMDNJ-Robert Wood Johnson Medical School. I am intersted in primary
care medicine, adolescent medicine, clinical informatics and
cultural sensitivity and competency training. This part of the SAHRI
space is a blog dedicated to the informatics end of SAHRI.
As we know, information technologies (IT) has transformed
the Indian subcontinent both economically and culturally. The flood of
H1B technology workers have opened South Asia as a powerhouse of
computing. With dominance in India and up and coming markets in
Sri Lanka and Pakistan, the economy, politics and cultural
factors of the region are gaining more global attention as South
Asia becomes a vital contributor to world affairs. It is the health of
all South Asians (in the US and in South Asia) that is the prime
concern of SAHRI.
SAHRI (South Asian Health Research Institute) is dedicated
to researching health care issues and sciences of the South Asian
communities. Since this is a massive undertaking by our colleagues and
contributors, we need a 'virtual home' to develop and showcase
different efforts in research and research collaborations.
In this blog, I will be chronicalling the devlopment of
the information technology and clinical informatics that will be
implemented as SAHRI grows. Hopefully, this will also stimulate forums
to initiate multinational informatics intiatives that puts the
power of IT into the hands of clinicians everywhere.
So it is my great pleasure to inaugurate the SAHRI CyberCorner!!
