IC Sciences Investigates Application of Narrative Sciences for Medical Informatics Instruments
Date:4/16/2008

BOSTON, April 16 /PRNewswire/ -- IC Sciences Corporation announced today a new initiative that explores narrative techniques for designing and developing informatics instruments used in medical practice and healthcare 2.0 markets.
