“On September 8 it was 4 years ago that I founded ICMCC, supported by my first, visionary board members. Medical and care ICT was something I had stumbled upon and knew little about in those days.
“After the first 2 years, September 2006, we had a final definition of the word compunetics, thus being the only global organisation dealing with patient-related ICT. Unfortunately, by that time my mentor and ICMCC co-founder Swamy Laxminarayan had passed away and I was diagnosed with a very aggressive form of Non-Hodgkin.
During the past 2 years, ICMCC has developped itself. Our newspage, with an average of 6,000 unique visitors per month, has become an important source of information. Our Record Access Portal is still the only of it’s kind on the subject. Compunetics as a discipline is slowly entering other areas (e.g. behavioural compunetics), our annual conferences have become important meeting points, our proceedings are considered outstanding publications.”
