The rise of intelligent systems in healthcare: Part I (providers)
April 18, 2013
|
Jonathon Dreyer
Desktop computers have forced physicians to turn their backs on patients as they spin their chairs around to enter the patient's story into the electronic health record. Mobile technology, used to navigate and manage this multifaceted ecosystem, is becoming pervasive and smaller in the physical sense. Patients are hungry for real-time access to personal health information.

2013: The year of the mHealth user
January 04, 2013
|
Jonathon Dreyer
From my point of view, 2012 was the "year of the developer," as it brought about mHealth innovation in the form of well-designed solutions for both providers and patients alike - mobile EMRs, specialty point-of-care solutions, secure messaging platforms, medication adherence tools, disease management apps, WiFi-enabled monitoring widgets, and the list goes on. And I predict that 2013 will be the "year of the mHealth user," with more widespread availability and adoption of mobile health technology. Let me expand on my reasoning:

Nuance issues another mHealth challenge

Jonathon Dreyer
The Internet has flattened the world in many ways; people are able to collaborate from around the globe and work to solve problems 24/7. Many industries, including healthcare, have taken advantage of this seemingly endless talent pool and various organizations have challenged developers to demonstrate their skills through online app challenges. These challenges are not only used to solve problems, but also to push the limits of what we think is technologically possible. Incentivizing innovation though competition is not new, but over the past decade there has been exponential growth in both the number of competitions conducted and participation in those competitions.

Jonathon Dreyer
In 1894, Oscar Wilde said "it is a very sad thing nowadays there is so little useless information.” With approximately five exabytes (that’s roughly 5 billion gigabytes) of information being created every few days, his statement is truer today than when it was written nearly 120 years ago.

Specialists in the cloud: The value of radiology workflow on smartphones and tablets
June 27, 2012
|
Jonathon Dreyer
At the SIIM12 conference earlier this month, the benefits and possibilities surrounding cloud computing solutions for the radiology community were a main theme. Today, the shift to cloud computing and adoption of cloud-based solutions in healthcare is on the rise across all medical specialties. For radiology professionals, this comes in the form of web-based RIS, PACS, image sharing platforms, decision support solutions and hosted speech recognition technology. As data networks, mobile device adoption and the overall processing power of computers and devices increase, so will the availability of cloud-based technologies with functionality that rivals that of existing legacy desktop solutions which will open the floodgates for innovation.
