Web-based Medical Information Retrieval System (WebMIRS)

The Web-based Medical Information Retrieval System (WebMIRS) is a research tool that facilitates the dissemination of biomedical database information across a wide-area network. It is implemented as a Java application and is distributed using the Java Web Start technology. It allows database access to text and associated x-ray images either through a standard Web browser or directly from the user's desktop. It seeks to address a number of critical issues surrounding medical data such as preservation of data integrity, efficient data transmission, capability to export results to other software and multimedia exploitation. In its initial implementation, it is based on data from the multi-year NHANES II and NHANES III surveys (National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys) collected by the National Center for Health Statistics. Subsequent versions will expand the number of data repositories to which access is provided.
