I mentioned in a post yesterday titled “Industries Discussing How Google Wave Will Effect Sectors“, that in the weeks and months ahead we will see more and more industry sectors starting to talk about how Google Wave could be used in their particular sector. In the post yesterday I referenced a blog by Robert Cole titled “How Google Can Help Facilitate Travel Inspiration.” This obviously focused on the travel industry and gave a couple of examples of how Google Wave could be used to help folks working in that field.
Today I came across two new pieces. One by Mark Senak, who has a blog titled “Eye on the FDA“. His piece on Google Wave is called “Google Wave, Part 2 – What Pharma Should Be Thinking About“. This title, of course, indicates that there was probably a Part 1 to that story, and there is, and you can read it and all his posts at his blog. However, I was interested in Part 2 to the story because he gave some particular examples of how Google Wave could be used. They were:
Clinical Trial Recruitment Waves – It is a perennial problem for pharmaceutical companies to get a good balance of patients involved in clinical trials, particularly minorities.
REMS Support – Today when the FDA considers a particular risk to the use of a drug, they can require a REMS program – Risk Evaluation Management Strategy which encompasses the same tools as when the program was referred to as RiskMAPs or Risk Management Plans.
He goes into great detail on these examples in his blog and I encourage all to give it a read. I find it very interesting and encouraging that folks can immediately list concrete examples of how Google Wave can be implemented in there field to address long standing problem areas.
The second example I came across was a YouTube video with Stephannie Hannon (Program Manger for Google Wave) where she address how Google Wave could provide opportunities in the journalistic industry. What is neat about his video is that she is being asked questions by the journalist about how Google Wave can help them (journalists) with this or that problem. You can hear his excitement with the answers she provides.
Stay tuned, as I said yesterday, many more industries will start looking very seriously at what problems Google Wave will solve for them. My hunch is that they won’t have to think very hard to come up with quite a few.
