The FDA stated this is not a replacement for a full workstation but can be used when mobility is needed for patient care. As an example the physician can view and make a diagnosis at the bedside without having to leave the room and run back to a workstation. The application is already available...

Hey I have a grand idea here, let’s rate them <grin>, a bad on my part here but with recently writing about all the errors and mistakes on doctor rating sites, could not help myself to give the MDS a little boost if you will. Back in February of 2010 I made this post about the FDA regulating...

60 Million tablets sounds like a lot of lot numbers for all to research. Last year when I began this little campaign I thought the number of recalls was going to grow and sure enough, just read the news every day. So to find the lot numbers visit the FDA website or the Bristol-Myers site...

This is one “huge” project and the targets and technologies change frequently, maybe hourly if we really had all the data to look at. Technology is out there throwing us a new left curve every day and when it available and simple, consumers want it now. No longer are we in the days to where...

The new addition is slated to begin sometime in the fall of 2010. This is great for those patients who are exploring the use of personal health records, but what about the rest of group. We hear about education all the time and are governed largely by the “non participants” so what do they...

ECG or EKGs as sometimes called are getting quite sophisticated. Vasomedical has primarily been focused towards the cardiology area but with some of the new product lines and electronic monitoring, plan to bring this level to the primary care area too. Doctors are certainly going to be very...

That’s the answer here as to manually collect and analyze with today’s standards and availability of information is almost not possible. This also goes to show that Health IT and the FDA are in fact emerging areas to where one is going to need to work closely with the other. The link below...

As mentioned in prior posts, is Plavix a good candidate for personalized medicine, since it is a blood thinner. Right now with the new warning, it is basically telling you that it might not work for you so with a test perhaps the guess work someday could be eliminated. FDA To look at benefits...

I guess it’s Mr. Grassley again here who may have clout but doesn’t understand the role of Health IT and the FDA itself is in the midst of getting up to date with technology themselves! This goes back to what I have been saying for 2 years here, non participants don’t get it. Wireless Healthcare...

The iBus is a further extension of the “smart room”. If you watch the video below it explains a bit more. What I like is the big screen here, the older we all get, the bigger screen we like. It’s nice to see the electronic records show on a large screen as well. What is interesting...

If you read this entire article entirely, what a mess. Every device is different and there’s a limited number of processes that every device needs to meet before individualization begins to creep in, just like in genomics, same thing, looking for more predictable methods in science when they just...

As posted a couple weeks ago, perhaps Plavix might be next on the list for a personalized medicine review as it is said to metabolize differently in some individuals than others? BD From a prior post: Plavix – What’s the next step for doctors and patients – possible genetic testing in the...

We want personalized medicine to move forward, but now we are back to the same question, who’s going to pay for the Warfarin Test? As just the opposite is occurring in the UK from a prior post. They want folks to have the test. London has taken a pioneering step into the world of personalized...

Will Plavix be the next drug up for a genetic test? There are not many alternative drugs either that could easily replace the functionality of Plavix, it is a blood thinner. One idea would be to monitor patients with poor liver or kidney metabolization. as suggested here , a blog written...

We have all read lately about the involvement of the FDA with toys, and from reading this review, this could possibly an good candidate for them to look at. When you look at the warnings, it is a bit scary. As mentioned in the warning, it could destroy credit card information and more importantly...
