PREVENTION & DETECTION OF CHD IN WOMEN: A CD-ROM

该SBIR的目的是为提供者开发一个CD-ROM，以解决妇女冠心病检测不足和管理不善的问题。 从历史上看，我们对冠心病的认识主要是基于对男性进行的研究，大多数临床建议和实践仍然基于这些研究。使问题更加复杂的是，妇女经常接受内科医生、家庭医生或妇科医生（通常在冠心病方面没有受过良好训练）的保健。该SBIR的目标是为供应商开发一个交互式的CME认证的教育工具。 它将包含一个全面的，最新的信息来源和培训，预防，检测和管理妇女冠心病。 它将提供一个国家的最先进的光盘，将提供必要的信息，以诊断和管理妇女冠心病的卫生保健从业人员。 我们将评估光盘作为提供者教育工具的有效性，并将制作一个可与NERI和其他可信网站链接的光盘。拟定商业应用：由于没有竞争性的CD-ROM产品提供有关女性冠心病检测和管理的信息，并且在医疗保健领域具有强大的市场潜力，因此申报产品具有良好的商业可行性。 与世界领先的医生教育光盘生产商和分销商SilverPlatter的合作，确保了这一产品的积极营销和广泛分销。

The purpose of this SBIR is to develop a CD-ROM for providers to address the problem of under detection and mismanagement of coronary heart disease (CHD) in women. Historically, our knowledge of CHD was based on studies conducted predominantly on men on which most clinical recommendations and practice are still based. Compounding the problem, women often receive health care from internists, family practice or gynecologists (generally not well-trained in CHD). The objective of this SBIR is to develop an interactive CME-accredited educational tool for providers. It will contain a comprehensive, up-to-date source of information and training on prevention, detection, and management of CHD in women. It will provide a state-of-the-art CD ROM that will provide health care practitioners with the information necessary to diagnose and manage CHD in women. We will evaluate the CD ROM's effectiveness as an educational tool for providers; and will produce a CD- ROM that can be linked to NERI's and other credible websites. PROPOSED COMMERCIAL APPLICATION: With no competing CD-ROM products that provide information about the detection and management of coronary heart disease in women and strong market potential in the healthcare field, the proposed product has excellent commercial viability. Collaboration with SilverPlatter, the world's leading producer and distributor of educational CD-ROMs to physicians, ensures that this product will be aggressively marketed and widely distributed.
