Participatory medicine will owe part of its success to the technologies that have the potential to remove treatment, symptom management, administrative, and communications burdens from individuals and clinicians while maintaining the critical interpersonal interactions between them. Out of the steady stream of new devices, programs, gadgets, and applications, which will make a difference in the health and lives of patients? We hope to build the Journal as a resource for critical reviews of technologies that support and facilitate participatory medicine. We realize it will be no small undertaking to put together a process that will allow for the review of a substantial number of technologies over time, reflecting the experience of different types of users.

This document has been developed to provide practical methodological advice to reviewers who want to undertake a meta-narrative review (or synthesis - the terms are synonymous).

"Sharable free cases created by any author from any institution at any time. Simple non-linear navigation while authoring or learning. Traditional case components such as history (hx), physical examination (pe), etc. are clickable tabs. Flexible searches are created by authors. More keywords for less advanced learners, fewer keywords for more advanced learners Learner-built medical record created on the fly. Review is easy. Immediate feedback is provided by comparing the learner-assigned value with the author's value. Delayed feedback is provided during a final review and the summary. Sortable diagnoses forming a differential are created by the author and learner and compared. Non-linear navigation includes a "Tx" tab so problems can be treated while other data is gathered."

Surgical tutor offers some on-line clinical tutorials. Each of these tutorials is based on a clinical photograph, x-ray or pathological specimen and includes questions, answers, a short literature review and suggested further reading. The answers to each question can be viewed by hovering the mouse over the answer icon. This resource was peer reviewed and added to Omni - which is now Intute.

"The NEJM Image Challenge app provides a great forum to keep one's diagnostic skills sharp, but has limitations in lack of robustness of explanations and inability to save particular images for later review."

"Basic Circulatory Physiology: Interactive Animation and Review Module"

To determine whether a multisource feedback questionnaire, SPRAT (Sheffield peer review assessment tool), is a feasible and reliable assessment method to inform the record of in-training assessment for paediatric senior house officers and specialist registrars.

A list of systematic reviews of literature on various medical eduction topics

"The authors review the initiation and cultivation of a mentoring relationship from the perspective of a mentee at any stage (student through junior faculty), and they propose specific strategies for mentee success."

"Medscape Mobile app is a great tool for clinicians, particularly those who use iPad or KindleFire. The user-friendly interface is a definite improvement over other medical reference apps, and its wealth of offline content is a great addition as well. Plus - it's free!"

"Self-other agreement in MSF ratings is influenced by characteristics of both raters and ratees. Managers, appraisers, and others responsible for interpreting and reviewing feedback results with the doctor need to be aware of these influences."

"The Society for Academic Emergency Medicine (SAEM) Simulation Collection is compiled by the SAEM Simulation Interest Group, working with the SAEM Simulation Task Force. Cases can be posted for sharing and feedback only, or for peer-review and publication. "

"The authors review the components necessary to successfully build and maintain a robust portfolio learning environment in a graduate medical education setting. These include gaining staff acceptance, staging implementation, enhancing learner participation, training mentors, choosing paper versus electronic formats, and selecting assessment methods."

"Spaced repetition is a learning technique that incorporates increasing intervals of time between subsequent review of previously learned material in order to exploit the psychological spacing effect"

"This review summarizes the literature regarding reflection in medical education and provides a basic primer for teaching reflection."

"This video reviews 17 anatomy education apps from iTunes store on portable hand held devices including iPhone, iPad, & iPod."

"You need to learn how to exercise mindful deployment of your attention online if you are going to become a critical consumer of digital media; productive use of Twitter or YouTube requires knowledge of who your public is, how your participation meets their needs (and what you get in return), and how memes flow through networked publics. Ultimately, the most important fluency is not in mastering a particular literacy but in being able to put all five of these literacies together into a way of being in digital culture."

"There comes a moment when you're forced to step beyond the things you know. It's a split second--an instant adjustment from the safety of recollection to the insecurity of the unknown. Day after day we head into the library, hunching over twice-reviewed notes and hidden behind piles of books yet to be read. We push ourselves to work harder, study longer. We toil knowing that each page holds a secret that might allay suffering or change a life. But at some point, the physiology and pharmacology don't matter. Organ systems and microbiology give way to something different...something more."

"Chapter 2 also discusses a series of clinical implications and recommendations for stakeholders wishing to engage these dynamic spaces. Chapter 3 reviews three recent administrative and judicial cases that have emerged from the inappropriate use of social media and Chapter 4 concludes with the main implications of and significance of the findings. Further research is clearly required to solidify the evidence on the use of social media in health care and to explore and document its economic, clinical, governance and tactical impact and utility."
