How do I download the videos?
- To download, right click the file type you would like and pick “Save target as…” or “Save link as…”
Why should I download videos from Channel9?
- It's an easy way to save the videos you like locally.
- You can save the videos in order to watch them offline.
- If all you want is to hear the audio, you can download the MP3!
Which version should I choose?
- If you want to view the video on your PC, Xbox or Media Center, download the High Quality WMV file (this is the highest quality version we have available).
- If you'd like a lower bitrate version, to reduce the download time or cost, then choose the Medium Quality WMV file.
- If you have a Zune, WP7, iPhone, iPad, or iPod device, choose the low or medium MP4 file.
- If you just want to hear the audio of the video, choose the MP3 file.
Right click “Save as…”
- MP4 (iPod, Zune HD)
- Mid Quality WMV (Lo-band, Mobile)
I chat with Don Rule from Microsoft about the Bio IT Alliance, a cross-industry group that helps to make personalized medicine a reality. We talk about the idea of ‘bench to bedside’ medicine, connecting biological science all the way from research to individual health care, and Don shows us a demo of an application from the Scripps Research Institute.

That was so way over my head!

I like hi tech stuff, but that was so high I couldn't reach it!
If what ever he said will speed up medical care & lower costs then keep up the good work.

Bio IT Alliance certainly looks promising and it really has taken off this past month or so. Anyhing that expidites medical procedure and lowers cost in the healthcare field is worth further development. The most bothersome part of healthcare today is time. It feels though we're always waiting for the test rersults or the doctor to come back from the lab or vacation. It seems to me like doctors are paid entirely too much and have too much free time, but that's just my oppinion. Hopefully, Bio IT Alliance will shave a little more time off procedure, but the doctors may be the only ones gaining that time.
Good segment, Laura.

Great demo and show. Interesting use of technology. The use of sharepoint to store the data however piqued my interest. For one, one of the biggest challenges in the medical industry is sharing data from experiments and research with other researchers. Usually data is store in databases (public or private) with research specific schemas. Using sharepoint as the backend for the collaboration tool is a interesting alternative.

We tried to strike a balance with the level of structure in the application. In general a database application requires major IT involvement to update the schema. Conversly totally unstructured information is easy to maintain but very difficult to find anything. Sharepoint struck a good balance becaue we cand use documents of varying levels of structure, from pure Word documents to InfoPath forms with controlled vocabularies that enable the researchers to store consistent data for projects in consistent ways.
