Welcome to the Web-based Medical Information Retrieval System. WebMIRS is a graphical Java program providing access to the NHANES(National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES)) II & III databases of medical survey data and x-ray images. The Web-based Medical Information Retrieval System (WebMIRS) is a research tool that facilitates the dissemination of multimedia biomedical database information across the Internet. It is implemented as a Java application and allows database access to text and associated images. Using the free Java Web Start technology from Sun Microsystems, WebMIRS can either be executed using a standard Web browser, or from the user's PC directly.
WebMIRS seeks to address a number of critical issues surrounding biomedical data such as use of multimedia, wide-area access, efficient data transmission, and capability to export results to other software applications. In its initial implementation, it is based on data from the multi-year NHANES II and NHANES III surveys (National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys) collected by the National Center for Health Statistics. Subsequent versions will expand the number of data repositories to which access is provided.
STEP 1 - Register
STEP 2 - Get the Java JRE (if not already installed)
WebMIRS requires version 1.4 or higher of the Java Runtime Environment. Select the Java JRE link to go to Sun Microsystems to download it. Once there, follow the instructions for downloading and installation.
You can also check what version of Java you have installed (if any) by going to the Sun Java Verification page.
STEP 3 - Install and Run WebMIRS
Clicking on the above link will cause WebMIRS to be installed using Java Web Start. The first time you run you will need to grant permission for it to be installed.
