Webhealth
Webhealth has been specifically developed to provide access for people to connect with Health and Social Services. This web-based approach builds on the strengths of people and families to determine their support needs. Within the Webhealth website is Linkage. Linkage is a partnership between an NGO, Pathways; primary health care, Pinnacle; and a secondary provider/hospital, Health Waikato. It offers early intervention services with a “one stop shop” in central Hamilton and New Plymouth.

Brain scans help doctors understand psychiatric ills
Baltimore Sun story - "The science of brain scanning may be on the brink of revolutionizing the intuitive art of psychiatry, one of the few domains left in medicine in which a doctor's educated guess is still the most common way to figure out what's wrong. To be sure, brain scanning is still too young a science to be used for routine diagnosis of the most common psychiatric ills. But it is proving invaluable in understanding the underlying abnormalities in a wide range of psychiatric disorders including obsessive-compulsive disorder, schizophrenia, anxiety and depression."
