MediaLocate USA is a translation/localization company (www.medialocate.com) located in California, and they invited me as their "Subject Matter Expert" (medical). As agreed, I check their translated, edited, and proofread Finnish materials for industry-specific language, technical accuracy, etc. My primary goal is to review the Finnish documents and evaluate them from the point of view of an industry expert. Often, I also compare the English source text with the translated target text.

This was part of the manufacturer's R&D process, required by the regulatory authorities.Medical head's responsibilities: Controlling all lab activities (as required by law), reporting to the ethical committee and authorities, examining and approving of all voluntary test subjects, thereafter monitoring their well being throughout the ISO standardized protocol.In a few words, the ISO protocol means that we simulate altitude change from sea level up to 4000-5000 meters, and record decreasing pulse oximeter values from the test subjects, when air they breathe becomes thinner (or altitude higher). We did over 200 successful cases while I was in control. Show less

JCMC started as the new medical technology journal for international audience, merging two previous publications with a similar scope, one from Europe and the other from the USA.As editors, we soon created a transatlantic "virtual telecommunication team" with smooth communication.

Dr. JS Gravenstein MD (Prof. emer. of anesthesiology, Univ. Florida, USA) and Dr J Feldman MD (Philadelphia, USA) and myself shared the clinical and scientific responsibility of the new publication. Over the time, we also met face-to-face at the international congresses. In 1999, I had a nice opportunity of staying in Gainesville (Fl), while visiting University of Florida.My special editorial assignment was to manage journal's international network of referees. That was mostly organized using telecommunication and Internet, but also meeting them in person at international medical technology meetings. In 2001 our editorial team decided that merger was over and, having run these journals for a decade, wanted give opportunity to new people (giving our recommendations to the published), to continue with the editorial process that had been created.Each of us then continued to other fields of medical publishing: Dr. JS Gravenstein's impact in anesthesiology is known by all. Dr J Feldman became section editor of Anesthesia and Analgesia. I started creating a new web based media for an industry sponsor: In the following years, I created Clinical Window Web Journal as an educational web publication for GE Healthcare. Its goal was to become a truly international e-publication for clinical education: as realization of that target, we could reach 8-10.000 monthly visitors from the clinical community. Finally, it may be mentioned that JCMC was later sold by Kluwer/Lippincott, and currently belongs to the German publisher Springer. Show less

As editor, I was also representing European Society of Computing and Technology in Anaesthesia and Intensive care (ESCTAIC), where I am one of the founding members, and also belonged to the executive committee at that time.Originally, I started working in close collaboration with Dr. Omar Prakash, professor of anesthesiology at the Erasmus University Hospital, Rotterdam, until he unexpectedly passed away in 1993. Our teamwork continued with Dr. Reed Gardner, professor of Medical Informatics, at Univ. Utah, Salt Lake City, USA. According to our shared responsibilities, I coordinated inflow of manuscripts (reviewed, revised and occasionally even rewrote) from Europe and the rest of the world, whereas Prof. G handled submissions from USA. Next year, Prof. Gardner was appointed as president of American Medical Informatics Association (AMIA), a highly recognized position with significant workload. Since then, I had 100% responsibility to manage all activities (communication with publisher, authors and societies).In 1996-97 I had a key role to negotiate the terms of the merger with editors of a similar journal published in USA (i.e. Journal of Clinical Monitoring). Fruitful discussions with the US journal editors showed us the way how to mold two journals into one; and that resulted to fruitful trans-Atlantic teamwork with the new scientific media. Show less
