Question to clinical modellers: are you usually online when you're working?
Interested to hear more of your thoughts! I usually choose to model in a formal office environment, using a two screens for Editor and mind map etc, so internet is usually available. However, given that, I was modelling on a plane yesterday and we have no internet available on any flights here yet - so yes, on occasions I do model outside that online environment. I expect that an optional less powerful offline mode would be a necessary plan B if this online approach is pursued. Consider Turbo-powered vs Normal mode!!??

Greetings, I would like to get the opinion of clinical modelling community about the requirement of being online. This is not a question about using web based tools. Even if you're using a modelling tool that does not require a browser, would it be a problem for you if the tool required that you are online? There are some quite convenient features that I would like to think I can introduce to modelling tools, but the problem is, some of these features may require lots of computing power, even special hardware in some cases, or they may simply be too large or tricky to deploy. Apple's recently released Siri, the voice recognition feature for iPhone 4s is a quite good example for the type of requirement I'm talking about. It helps in some cases, but the processing power requirements and quite possibly the mechanics of machine learning requires that Siri does its work using Apple's servers. Would this kind of requirement for modelling tools be a serious problem for you? I'd appreciate your feedback. Best regards Seref -- next part -- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Hi Seref, My experience would largely match Heather's - Normally working in a connected environment but fairly often I will be in-transit with poor or no internet access and it would be frustrating to be unable to do any archetyping/templating in these circumstances.

Hi Seref, I always on-line when I consider clinical models. I need massive information around clinical concepts, medical validity, terminology, meta data, information technology around modeling, etc. Tweeting is sometimes good clue for breakthrough. BTW, aren't you really interested in Web tools?
