High Tech Patient Care

High Tech Patient Care 06/08/2004 10:47 AM

USATODAY.com - In the hospital of the future, patients are pampered guests: This article on a new, high-tech hospital in Denver has some interesting notes.

Computerized patient records help prevent deadly medication errors. Embedded nanotechnology chips track everything from drugs to newborn infants. If an infant is carried outside of a secured area, alarms sound, and the hospital immediately is locked down to prevent a kidnapping.

Computers also are used to limit the time people spend in the waiting areas, which have stunning views of the snow-capped Rocky Mountains. A confirmation of the appointment is e-mailed to the patient the day before an exam or procedure. A patient who prints out the reminder can run a bar code on the page under a laser scanner near the hospital's front door to check in. The staff sees this on a computer screen and prepares to greet the patient heading toward the waiting area.

By evening, the patient gets an e-mail from Brimhall asking how the visit went and whether the patient had to wait. Each case in which there was a delay is sent back to the department, which must explain the delay to Brimhall. He reports back to the patient.

Nearly 100,000 people die in U.S. hospitals each year due to diagnostic errors, according to the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality. After his friend's 21-year-old son died in an emergency room as a result of a misdiagnosis, Michigan pharmacologist Dr. Joel C. Robertson resolved to create a technology product that might prevent similar tragedies by helping doctors to more quickly and accurately assess a patient's condition.

Can You Resist The Lure Of The Mobile
Phone? 08/16/2004 05:00 AM
Robert J. Samuelson, writing for Newsweek, explains why he'll never get a mobile phone. He lists out most of the mobile phone annoyances we all know about already (being interrupted at the wrong time, private conversations being made public, always being accessible, etc.) while still admitting that phones are useful in certain circumstances. He pretty much ignores the more innovative ways that mobile phones have changed lives (such as by saving them) or how people act (such as making it possible for groups to gather in a much more ad hoc manner) which is normal for those who simply assume that a mobile phone is just like a phone, but mobile. However, in the end, he's basically taking a stand against the tide. While it's great for him if he can keep it up, it really doesn't impact anyone else (unless they're trying to reach him). I have nothing against anyone who chooses not to buy a mobile phone if they don't think it's necessary. However, to think that it's somehow noble to stand there and declare publicly that you have no need for the technology just looks silly. If you don't need it, don't buy it.

The Computerized Art Critic

The Computerized Art Critic 06/14/2004 03:33 AM
Well, it's now been established that computers can, in certain situations, beat the very best chess players in the world. Now, they're moving on to another arena previously held onto by an elite group of human experts: determining the authenticity of a piece of artwork. New computer systems are being developed (similar to computerized chess systems) that use their ability to comprehend thousands of different attributes among many different paintings to come up with information about what makes certain paintings more or less likely to be by a certain artist. Of course, it sounds like most people involved still don't want these systems to be coming out with a final vote - but, rather are focused on using them to suggest places for further exploration (such as pointing out a specific difference in features between a certain painting and others by the same artist). This may have something to do with an increasingly litigious art world, where lawsuits have been filed by painting owners who weren't happy to have someone suggest the painting they owned was not by the person they thought it was. Still, this raises the same question we asked a few weeks ago in a post about selling fraudulent artwork on eBay: shouldn't a painting be judged on its quality, rather than who created it?

Computerized Discouragement

Computerized Discouragement 06/01/2004 02:43 AM
In a great followup to recent stories about autom ating the hiring process and autom ating the matchmaking process, this writer is wondering if such technologies can't be used to make personalization systems better match your personality and your mood. He points to a study that shows that, in a game where a computer gives users encouraging words ("You can do it!"), players do better than one where it gives discouraging words - and worries that companies are going to misinterpret the results to mean that we're always going to be getting annoyingly bland and sickly sweet "encouragement" from our computers ("You can complete this letter! Your computer believes in you!"). For many people, this sort of "encouragement" gets to be pretty damn annoying, pretty damn fast. So, instead of focusing on how to find a better job or a better date, it would be great if such personalization technology could be used to figure out that the last thing a person wants to hear after struggling through some frustrating operation on their computer is: "The problem will soon be happily over."

When Everything Is Computerized...
Everything Needs Tech Support 04/12/2005 02:01 PM
It's no secret that more and more stuff around us every day is getting computerized, but how that's going to impact our everyday lives doesn't always get that much attention. One of the more interesting elements of an increasingly high tech society is that we're going to need a lot more tech support -- and it's not going to be acceptable to wait 45 minutes on hold (with crappy hold music) to talk to someone overseas who doesn't understand the problem and can't do anything to help. Business Week is talking about the old Maytag repair guy, and how appliances are going high tech in a big way. Of course, the old Maytag repair guy isn't going to be able to fix your washing machine when its software crashes -- and with our chang ing views on quality, you can be pretty sure that today's washing machines won't last as long as the ones you bought a few decades ago. So is it any surprise that tech companies are gearing up to get into spaces that might seem a little out of place for them? IBM announced today an automotiv e diagnostics solution to help deal with increasingly computerized cars. What IBM has realized is that, increasingly, cars are computers -- and if they're 100% focused on being in the IT services business, they need to go where computers are going. So, perhaps it's only a matter of time before you end up calling IBM to come service your washing machine as well. Actually, hopefully, the washing machine will do the calling itself.

NYC Subway Gets a Computerized Facelift
(AP) 04/10/2005 05:37 PM
AP - A subway train rattles halfway into Union Square station in Manhattan and shudders to a halt. Over a crackle of static, a voice on the PA system announces congestion ahead and says it will be several minutes before service resumes. Trapped commuters sigh and glance at their watches impatiently. Some simply close their eyes in resignation. This sort of thing — and much worse — has been happening quite a lot lately. So it's no surprise that transit snafu-weary New Yorkers are greeting with ambivalence this month's launch of fully computer-automated trains on a 22-mile line that intersects Manhattan and Brooklyn.
