MAI Contest -- Name Those Products !!!

[SantaMufasa]

We all know how talented MAI-ers are at naming things...You've helped Me (SantaMufasa), MiniMufasa, and DeepDiverMom come up with great names for businesses.

Here are two more opportunities to see your suggestions in lights. The company for which I am working has developed two software products that have working titles, but they need catchy, trademarkable names for the two packaged products.

Both products have, as audience and potential customers, professionals in the Healthcare industry: Doctors, Hospitals, Medical Laboratories, Reasearchers, Pharmaceuticals, et cetera.

The software systems, along with their working titles and descriptions are:[ul][li]Biospecimen Tracker -- As the working title implies, this product tracks all aspects of biological specimens: specimen type, specimen source (i.e, contributor/patient identity, location details), specimen characteristics (e.g., quantity, evaluative details, et cetera), dates/times, gathering method(s), medical facility, lab facility, et cetera.

[/li][li]Ontology -- This software product stores the relationships, hierarchies, meanings, and usages of terms relating to the healthcare industry.

Examples of entries in Ontology might be:[/li][ul][li] bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE)[/li][li]mad cow disease[/li][li]Transmissible spongiform encephalopathy

[/li][li]Asprin[/li][li]Metformin[/li][li]Glucophage[/li][/ul]

In terms of relationships:[ul][li]the first three entries, above, fall into the general category of "Diseases",[/li][li]the latter three items are categorically "Pharmaceuticals".[/li][li]The first two items are synonyms for one another, while both are types of the third item.[/li][li]"Glucophage" is a brand name pharmaceutical for the generic pharmaceutical, "Metformin"[/li][/ul][/ul]So, those are the rather general product descriptions. Here are the contest rules:[ul][li]You can enter as many times as you want, with as many suggestions per posting as you want.[/li][li]All submissions must appear here by 16:00 Thursday, August 14(U.S. Mountain Daylight Time...GMT+7)[/li][li]SantaMufasa is the sole judge of the final winning entries, but he is open to the opinions of anyone.[/li][li]There will be a 1st Place winner for each of the two products mentioned, above, with possibly Honourable Mentions for other entries.[/li][/ul]Let me know if you have questions or need clarifications.

This may not be all that creative (I'm only halfway through my first coffee this morning), but I think BioTrac sounds good for the first one.

Aesculapius for the second one (he's the God of Health and Medicine).

[ul][li]Is the Ontology app updateable by the users?[/li]
[li]Is that same Ontology app networkable? So, if updated by a different office, then other offices are privy to the same information?[/li]
[li]If it is updateable, then how does it track who changed what, or is that an option?[/li]
[/ul]

[rjoubert]

Sure, BioTrac sounds cool...so cool, it's already taken. So much for that idea.

I'm thinking Aesculapius may be a bit difficult to pronounce. How about Hygeia (Greek goddess of Health)?

 

[kjv1611]

How about Hygeia?

Hmm, and what about ... uh oh.. it left me. I guess I need some coffee, myself!

I had thoughts about biotrail, but there's one in India.

I want to be good, is that not enough?

Ontology = MedSpeak

I seem to have forgotten my snappy-name-thinker-upper hat today, but I do have a thought. There must be other areas where that ontology application could be useful. Just about every trade has a specialised vocabulary that you might want to codify.

With possible future spin-off products in mind, it might be sensible to pick a name that isn't too tightly tied down to the medical arena.

Since he was the father of modern classification, I'd offer
Linnaeus for the former.
Since Bill can trademark Windows (see "Lindows" legal case), then you should be ok with "Argot" for the latter.

I really like "hippopedia".

I just chugged a Mountain Dew, so as soon as the caffeine wakes up my brain, I might have some suggestions of my own.

For Biospecimen Tracker:

[ul]
[li]BioBase[/li]
[li]BioDat[/li]
[li]BioDB[/li]
[li]BioSigns[/li]
[li]BioTrak[/li]
[li]BioTrakIt[/li]
[li]ChemData[/li]
[li]Chemitrak[/li]
[li]ChemTrak[/li]
[li]CycleTrak[/li]
[li]LabBase[/li]
[li]LabTrak[/li]
[li]LabTrakIt[/li]
[li]LabRat (especially if you're targeting technician level users, this covers several different meanings)[/li]
[li]LifeSigns (especially if the UI looks anything like Star Trek)[/li]
[li]SampleTrak[/li]
[li]Specitrak[/li]
[li]SpecTrakker[/li]
[li]Spectrakular (heh)[/li]
[li]TrakIt[/li]
[li]TrakAll[/li]
[/ul]

Obviously, I have a thing for "k", but if you want to cheat at Scrabble, feel free to append a "c" where you need it.

For Ontology:

[ul]
[li]ChemBase[/li]
[li]DocBase[/li]
[li]DocBrain[/li]
[li]DocMaster (a little Dr. Who play)[/li]
[li]DocOps[/li]
[li]DrugTrak[/li]
[li]HealthBase[/li]
[li]HealthTrak[/li]
[li]LabBase[/li]
[li]LabDB[/li]
[li]MediBase[/li]
[li]MediBrain[/li]
[li]MediWeb[/li]
[li]MetaBase[/li]
[li]MetaTrak[/li]
[li]Ont DB[/li]
[li]Ont Ops (also easy to remember)[/li]
[li]OntologyDB[/li]
[li]OntologyMaster[/li]
[li]UberTrak[/li]
[/ul]

You can see that there are several pairings such that both applications could be from the same manufacturer, such as BioTrak and MetaTrak. Choosing complementary names can really help you sell not only these two applications, but help open the doors for additional plug-ins to the future suite.

Great work so far! Some really clever submissions.

It is very helpful to use Edward's submission model for names:

Biospecimen Tracker: <name list>

Ontology: <name list>

This way, I'll know for sure which product you are submitting a name for.

Thanks,
