mHealth
mHealth refers to the practise of medicine through
mobile devices. Other devices such as tablet computers, PDA are also included. Patients are given the opportunity to access healthcare
services while healthcare professional consult their patients data via mobile
devices.
Mobile devices such as smartphones are nowadays possessed
by most civilizations improving healthcare possibilities. However, it is
important to point out that in low and middle-income countries, mHealth is
restricted and limited due to to poor infrastructures not enabling sufficient
support such as GPS & Wifi.

Telemedicine
Telemedicine targets
the transmission of health information via distance using the ‘telecommunication
& information technology’ means. The patient are issued telemedical devices
which are implemented within a client/server architecture.
Telemedicine is
subdivided into several categories:
- · Telenursing (provides nursing services at distance)
- · Telepharmacy (provides pharmaceutical care at distance)
- · Telerehabilitation (rehabilitation services at distance)
- · Teletrauma (care in a trauma environment)
- · Telecardiology (transmission of electrocardiographs using telephone and wireless)
The benefit of telemedicine is that isolated
communities are receiving treatments without having to travel several kilometres
in order to reach conventional hospitals. This is even more beneficial to
elders and disable patient who live with a reduced mobility. They are virtually
and accurately examine via telemedicine.
Recent innovations with hand-held mobile devices
provide the ability for healthcare professionals to monitor, examine and diagnose
their patients in multiple locations and at any time.

Electronic Health Record
The Electronic Health Record (EHR) is a concept
involving the collection of electronic health information regarding patients and
also populations. The data is digitally recorded; hence it can be shared
between different health premises via network connection or simply by internet.
The data collected includes
demographics, medical history, medications, allergies, radiology images and
many more.
Throughout years, the
practise of EHR has improved the quality of care. The accessibility of patient’s
data by several health institutions has improved the care coordination.
Individual information can be sent to several doctors and therefore smooth
transitions between care settings are effectuated. Also in emergency situations
where time is critical, data regarding patients are easily accessed.

eHealth
eHealth is an
innovation brought up at the end of the 20th century referring to
the healthcare practise supported by electronic processes and communication.

Dating from the 1999, this application has provided a range of services allowing
health treatment and monitoring via distance. The following topics will be discussed :

Asimo: The future in robotics
Blog Post # 4: ASIMO
Introduced in 2000, ASIMO (Advanced Step in Innovative Mobility) had aspirations of helping people who lack full mobility, ASIMO is used to encourage young people to study science and mathematics showing the wonders and feats in which can be created.
ASIMO has the ability to recognize moving objects, postures, gestures, the surrounding environment, sounds and faces, this gives the HUMANOID the ability to interact with humans. The robot can detect the movements of several objects by using data captured by two cameras in its head and also can determine distance and direction.
These feature allow ASIMO to follow a person or face him or her when approached. The robot can also understand pre-determined voice commands and hand movements, enabling it to recognize and initiate a handshake when it is offered or when a person waves or points, and then respond accordingly. ASIMO's ability to distinguish between voices and other sounds allows it to identify its different people. ASIMO can recognize approximately 10 different faces and address them by name.
ASIMO is able to respond to its name and can also determine if a collision is about to happen. This allows ASIMO to face a person when spoken to or look towards a sound. ASIMO responds to questions by nodding or answering the question.
In the above video we see an example of some of the features of ASIMO, My personal opinion is that ASIMO is at a limit in capabilities, the next generation is artificial intelligence or replicating the brain which is currently being studied. The combination of ASIMO and artificial intelligence leads to a world without limits in the robotics industry; who knows what type of HUMANOID will walk the earth in 10-20 years.
Keep moving forward!

WIRELESS TECHNOLOGY --- WIRELESS TOOTH TATTO
Some tech just sounds too good to be true. A removable,
wireless sensor that adheres to dental enamel and can detect trace amounts of
harmful bacteria just might fall into the too-much-information category for the
squeamish among us.
This
wireless tooth tattoo us used to detected potential tooth decay and bacteria. The researchers created the tattoo by
bundling the silk and gold with graphene — an extremely thin sheet of carbon in
which atoms are arranged in a honeycomb lattice. The material's unique
properties allowed the researchers to construct a small, flexible device able
to detect bacteria at a much higher sensitivity level than traditional methods.
In tests, the researchers detected samples of bacteria that can cause surgical
infections and others that can lead to stomach ulcer.
