Web Alert

Compiled by Herald Online staff

Lots of companies and organisations use webcasts to provide health information. Here's a sample of what you can watch this week:

At Healthology video webcasts are organised around themes. Current features including Multiple Sclerosis and digital breast screening.

Healthscout has a variety of "how to" videos on its iTV page. Everything from how to buy running shoes, to how to make tea properly.

At adoctorinyourhouse.com you can watch an archived video of gastric bypass surgery and chat with the patient, Carnie Wilson (daughter of Beach Boy Brian Wilson), who says she has gone from 21 stone to 11 stone after having the surgery last year.

Chat about health at PlanetRx where moderators host daily sessions on topics such as Alzheimer's Disease, Mental Health and Diabetes.
