Abstract
The Internet and its use is proliferating. Many medical device manufacturers have their own web sites where they provide useful, but not standardized information about their products and services. Similarly hospitals and clinics also have Web sites that can be accessed for information related to their services, and clinical engineers commonly have Web access. The missing link in this scenario is a Web site that could act as a central point of coned between the clinical engineers and the device manufacturers. Due to huge numbers of both, an elective means of a 'many to many' interaction between the two is presently not available. This project proposes a model of a communication system between clinical engineers and medical device manufacturers based on Internet technologies and relational databases. This model attempts to bridge the communication gap and provide an effective means of information dissemination between device manufacturers and clinical engineers.
