Exactly. They are researchers . They look for information in their circles and sources known to them. Searching for relevant information in an art these days. Even getting the search terms right is an art.

 

What would help a lot but is currently out of scope is a) presenting GNUmed at conferences b) getting is mentioned in scientific articles.

 

Fact remains GNUmed is indeed insufficiently well known. Blogging about it. Telling collegues about it. All this can help some. But doctors rarely do this kind of stuff. We believe that there are some deployments of GNUmed out there but I have never heard anyone talk about it.

 

All we can do is keep up the good work.
