My group came up with "Doctor Database," a system combining common doctors' instruments with the ability to send their data through Bluetooth to a handheld unit (read: Palm/Pocket PC) which would then transfer the data to an office server through WiFi, then to a centralized server over the internet.  This is a little different, but I still find it interesting how many articles and devices I've seen that are enhancing data and records transfer through the use of technologies.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Natedog]]></dc:creator><pubDate>May 26th 2007 10:54AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on MedSignals' digital pill box charts your dosage]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/26/medsignals-digital-pill-box-charts-your-dosage/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/26/medsignals-digital-pill-box-charts-your-dosage/</guid><description><![CDATA[Natedog, your timing was right on!  The marketplace is exploding now with home-based telehealth tools that upload --though numerous means-- and aid caregivers in remotely observing patients. Your idea was quite insightful.<br><br>The MedSignals device also is funded now to serve as a hub for other vital sign monitors in the home and to Bluetooth-collect their readings and then upload them to patient charts, along with their pill-taking patterns via the telephone line. Soon we'll see medication adherence as the NEW vital sign to be monitored. <br><br>Vesta]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Vesta]]></dc:creator><pubDate>May 26th 2007 2:37PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on MedSignals' digital pill box charts your dosage]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/26/medsignals-digital-pill-box-charts-your-dosage/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/26/medsignals-digital-pill-box-charts-your-dosage/</guid><description><![CDATA[In the George Lucas film "THX-1138," this function is served by the medicine cabinet, which (after asking you in a friendly voice, "What's wrong?") proceeds to give you automated advice about which pills to take:<br><br>"Take four red capsules.  In ten minutes take two more.  Help is on the way...."<br><br>Of course, in the world of THX-1138, people were sent to prison for "criminal drug EVASION."<br><br>I imagine they had less patient compliance issues that way....<br><br>"Soon we'll see medication adherence as the NEW vital sign to be monitored."<br><br>I bet.<br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Karim]]></dc:creator><pubDate>May 26th 2007 3:19PM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
