Updated for presentation at the Trenton Computer Festival, March 10, 2012
Our doctors and healthcare providers often ask us to keep track of certain information: our weight, our blood pressure, our blood glucose levels, or our responses to medication. When we do this on a regular basis, the amount of data we have to input can be overwhelming. New medical devices connect directly to our computers to download and analyze our medical data, either locally or on the Internet. Similar devices are used for healthcare providers to monitor the health of homebound patients and provide a more humanistic method of healthcare delivery.
We will examine some of these medical devices, look at how they manage data, and discuss both wish lists and obstacles to the adoption and further development of e-medicine.
