The National Library of Medicine’s Lister Hill National Center for Biomedical Communications has produced MyDelivery, a prototype tool for communicating health and biomedical information.  A result of R&D in Internet communications, MyDelivery enables two individuals to securely exchange information reliably, even through potentially unreliable wireless networks. The email-like user interface allows file attachments to be large in size (several gigabytes) or quantity (several thousand). This tool has potential applications in library document delivery, biomedical research, and HIPAA-compliant communication of patient health information.

MyDelivery is currently in beta testing, and libraries and their customers are invited to use it and provide feedback on its utility. The free registration and Windows client software are available at http://mydelivery.nlm.nih.gov. [da]
