Back in the middle of 2007 I was listening and talking about Craig Mundie from Microsoft and what they were doing in 3rd world countries with supplying cell phones that work and help those who can’t read. Now we are trying to help and show value for those “who can read”. The images here go...

How connected will we become to monitor our hearts? That seems to be a big question today and we also need the availability of the receiving end, the doctors and nurses to evaluated and communicate. This appears to be the move here with insurance companies expanding on the use of monitoring...

I am glad at least someone is looking at how this will work without being too disruptive and second of all the security as they note the security of cell phone data is not that secure, yet. Now when I say this I am not talking about a closed hospital system that has all their security in place...

If you have an IPhone, then you know what I am talking about as it reacts to how it is positioned. This is a good article about the next wave that is up and coming and being promoted by HP, so I guess we can now say that soon we will have a “smart accelerometer” that can give even further detail...

Here’s my equation for wireless – the data needs to go somewhere. If you are a regular reader here you have seen everything Eric Topol talks about and a lot more. What is cool is to see him wearing the stick on heart monitor. What we do lack here is knowledge and balance. ...

We have new entry into the body monitoring, behavioral information data arena, but unlike other that clip on, this one sticks on. I guess the closer the devices get the better the data? This one is not here the US, well yet anyway, but we have few others around . They all talk...

Once again we return to the software issues, the algorithms, and who thinks these don’t shape the world today. Good choice with Johnson and Johnson to develop and work on the project. The device would have 2 working parts, but the tricky part is the human side, in other words to have the...

Clinical algorithms of care can be managed for each patient’s need. I talk quite a bit about devices that report data and home monitoring on this blog and here’s one of the first agreements working with an insurance company. You stand on the scale, and it’s done, information going to where...

I talk quite a bit about medical devices that report data and send text messages here and the need for proper implementation. We have a bit of a Catch 22 situation going on here as the companies that make the devices and software want a return on their investment , with many being backed by Venture...

The Wall Street Journal put out an article about a survey today, how far do employers go and what are the HR ramifications here? Also, I question some of the privacy factors that enter the picture as well. If you read this blog often enough you know I am a big fan of new technologies and...

This has me curious with all the medical devices that now connect and send data to a cell phone, how will we be able to send data if they are determined to cause cancer? Is this a dumb question? Here’s one that does ultra sounds: Being as such will the FDA now be required to approve certain phones that...

Two standards of wireless were agreed upon this week. As you can see from the information below, more medical devices are on the way, all with reporting functions. One I have mentioned before is the blue tooth inhaler. This may also stand to change the way some medications are developed...
