e-communication and clinical information solutions developer EPG Health Media, UK, has announced the launch of a new interactive Insomnia Knowledge Centre within its web-based physician education and reference resource www.epgonline.org.
Sanctioned by the European Medical Association (EMA), EPG Online is a free educational service dedicated to providing healthcare professionals (HCPs) with access to best practice diagnosis and patient management guidance. This independent service provides access to a range of EU pharmaceutical drug data via an innovative search tool.
The Insomnia Knowledge Centre contains information about the classification, prevalence and diagnosis of Insomnia, as well as how to monitor sleep, and its function. The resource also contains detailed information surrounding the available pharmacological and non-pharmacological therapy options to treat insomnia. The health-care professional will also find useful assessment tools and further reading options. The resource is interactive, comprehensive and easy to use.
The Insomnia Knowledge Centre has been developed in partnership with H. Lundbeck A/S and seeks to broaden the range of existing Disease Knowledge Centres that form part of the EPG Online interactive knowledge 'library'. Other disease knowledge centres focus on a range of topics including Asthma, Non-small Cell Lung Cancer, Parkinson's Disease, Renal Anaemia and Hypertension.
In addition to a range of disease knowledge centres, EPG Online provides access to drug and medicine data, safety alerts, drug reviews, guidelines, clinical study results, evidence based commentary and findings, medical news and journal abstracts. The service is funded through pharmaceutical industry sponsorship and educational grants.
