“Facebook” for Norwegian doctors

Legeforeningen. Min side. My Page. The Norwegian Medical Association.

The Norwegian Medical Association (Den norske legeforening) launched an extranet for all the doctors in Norway recently called ‘Min side’ (My page). The solution is a personalized site where the doctors can…

  • get access to information regarding their membership in the association
  • get information about rules and regulations regarding their work situation
  • get updated news within their field from different sources
  • maintain their own profile
  • discuss professional issues with each other

My company, Logica, has worked together with the Norwegian Medical Association for quite some time to develop this solution. I have been involved in the project as an interaction designer/information architect – and it has been a very interesting and fun project to be a part of.

The concept and the solution in itself has already been tested by a bunch of doctors from different fields through an interactive prototype. But the real test of a community happens when the real users enter. On Monday the association will send out usernames and passwords to all their members, and I am excited to follow the activity in the community the coming months.
