If you use their backend server (Synapse PACS and Synapse RIS), you can now view your images on your mobile devices. What’s really interesting about their mobile suite is that it’s browser is independent, scalable, and doesn’t just display static images. Currently the system isn’t FDA approved, but with the amount of business Fujifilm already has in the medical ecosystem, one would think this would happen sooner than later. ..It provides (more…) *This blog post was originally published at iMedicalApps* (Source: Better Health) Better Health blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=5169548 Sat, 27 Aug 2011 14:00:11 +0100 5169548 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=5125758&cid=t_194002_88_f&fid=38153&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ozemedicine.com%2Fblog%2F%3Fp%3D973 The hospital healthcare environment poses many important factors which impact upon the successful uptake of clinical software, these include: increasing staff dependence upon computers to document their clinical work and access timely patient information and clinical decision support. lack of physical space for additional desktop computers or computers on wheels to address the above point current laptops and Windows-based tablets are too heavy for carrying around by staff. this means we need wireless networks throughout hospitals and staff will increasingly use their Apple iPads, perhaps their iPhones and Android phones and other devices to help them manage the increasing pressures to find an available computer when and where they want it. the resultant need for high performing, rapid dat...

While that only exists in SciFi, we are a step closer with Google Translate which is available as a mobile app for Android and the iPhone. It was recently updated which brought it to my attention. I found the app incredibly powerful with the ability to enter phrases either by typing or by voice recognition. The app then translates it to you in scores of languages you can select from a simple drop down list. The cool thing is that it can speak the translation for you (if text to speech is supported for that language). A two-way conversation can be carried out by switching the tr...

While many specialties have always been heavily dependent on technology, such as radiology and cardiology, the ubiquity of these small, interconnected computers means that every physician will soon have access to a broad array of software and hardware to help them perform their daily work.

In just 5 years, social networks have become not only “all the rage,” but also a must-have for a significant portion of the U.S. population. In just 10 years, video online went from a mess of different, incompatible formats to YouTube and its competitors, revolutionizing the way many people engage with entertainment online (and to a lesser extent, information). In just 15 years, the Internet and technologies it has enabled has transformed not only many people’s workplaces, but the very connectedness and relationships we have with others. Let that sink in for a few minutes. In just 15 years, a set of technologies has started...

I hate commuting and shopping, so the fact that I could buy this online at one click was great. Flipkart delivered the phone promptly in 2 days, and I am very pleased with the phone and their excellent service !However, I was disappointed with the fact that the Flipkart shopping cart was not intelligent enough to sell me accessories for my new mobile phone. For example, I would have been happy to buy a screen protector film for my phone - but they did not offer me this choice.Flipkart could easily do a better job with tracking customer behaviour - they just lost a chance to sell more products.

They need information, and it's quite logical that the internet is the first place they turn to ( most people live in nuclear families and don't have a family physician, so they can no longer tap into the insights of their family doctor or the wisdom of their grandmother).While the web is a great source of health information, unfortunately, using google to search for information is not always a smart thing to do. This is because while google is a great search engine, it's not always good at helping you to find reliable information. Google finds lots of stuff - but a lot of it is poor quality garbage - and google is not smart enough ( yet !) to be able to separate the wheat from the chaff !For he...

I was extremely excited to find out I matched at my home institution, Wake Forest University School of Medicine, to do my Emergency Medicine residency, a program rich in EM culture and innovation. Almost immediately after “The Match”, iMedicalApps received emails from fourth year medical students questioning what type of mobile device they should purchase for residency — almost all asking between an iPhone or Android. We even found out some residency directors were already making suggestions for the incoming residents, choosing the iPhone.

What if both ideas are wrong? While it is possible these plans might work, I cannot help but notice the similarities in the challenges for patients in navigating the...

Intimacy takes on new definitions, as we use technology to not only keep in touch and connected with one another, but for sexting and other talk that has, in the past, been reserved for face-to-face time. You may not be doing it, but I bet dimes to donuts someone you know is. Which is a very good reason to have a blog about sex, intimacy and technology here at Psych Central. I’m pleased to introduce Sex and Intimacy in the Digital Age, a blog about sexual addiction and problems, adultery and cheating in the digital age of the Internet, smartphones, and always being connected.

Don’t forget that I’m now a regular contributor to MobiHealthNews. This week, I comment on the rave reviews coming in for the iPad 2, particularly from the healthcare sector, and note the significance of Microsoft discontinuing its Zune digital music player, the product that never did gain much traction against Apple’s ubiquitous iPod. While it looks as if the Android platform may be losing out to the iPad in healthcare, I say don’t call this one for Apple just yet, at least not until Research in Motion comes out with its BlackBerry PlayBook next month.

I was reading the excellent capsule summary at PreCentral on what has happened to Palm and webOS in 2010. I have had first hand experience with webOS for over a year now and continue to be impressed with what Palm (now HP Palm) has achieved with this new mobile OS. We can expect new hardware (tablets and smartphones) from HP Palm in 2011 but how will these stack against the army of devices from Android and what Apple has in store with the iPhone (Verizon launch and the iPhone 5?) ?. My own mobile journey has taken me from PalmOS (devices like the Palm Pilot Professional, IIIx, Tungsten series, Treo smartphones), Windows Mobile (Treo Pro, Dell Axim X50v), iOS (iPod Touch, iPad) and more recently Android (I got a HTC Desire to get a taste of Android).

It’s quite a neat idea, and could save time if you have lots of old paper business cards or attend lots of conferences. The application is quite expensive, at $5.99, and eats up quite a bit of internal phone storage. I’m sure these two elements will improve over time.

The software is called Sana and runs on the Android platform. The app allows healthcare workers in remote clinics to send pictures and videos to a database where they can be reviewed by a physician who is then able to provide a preliminary diagnosis via texting. Sana is different than other collaborative electronic medical sharing efforts because it allows complex medical imaging, such as X-rays and ultrasound images to be uploaded and analyzed. Since Sana is open source, it can be customized to a specific regions needs and tailored to specific pathologies that need to be studied. Program developers hope this gives health...

Via a subscription service, you can use your iPhone to send an emergency notification to the service after which local law enforcement or EMT services, depending on the type of alarm, will be dispatched. The advantage over using 911 is that the monitoring service automatically receives GPS localization of your whereabouts and that you can cancel the emergency call within 15 seconds.

I guess many use iPhones these days as it is hugely popular with many applications available on that platform and indeed it has the largest Appstore compared to the others. On the other hand, the device does not have a hardware keyboard, non-replaceable battery and to be honest, a rather “old” OS with a stale UI which doesn’t do much multi-tasking unless you Jailbreak it.

In this case, I followed the link to the NEJM Web site, logged onto my account, and then view the abstract as well as downloading the full text PDF of the article, which I was also able to view on the HTC Hero, all within 4 minutes. It would be great to have the option of selecting just the review articles, but with the simplicity and convenience of this site, it's a resource that I would use often.

They have already "liberated" about half of Google's offerings (including Blogger and Gmail) and have plans to liberate Google Sites and Google Docs in the near future. via tech.slashdot.org I've been trying to move my contacts from my old Palm Desktop that I used for managing my contacts, to Gmail, which is what my HTC Hero syncs with. Exporting a csv file from Palm, and importing it into Gmail results in all the contact info being put into the "Notes" section of the Gmail entry. However, when you search Gmail by name or company, the entry still comes up. So, at least the con...

It's a sort of shooting colored balls at other colored balls in a frenetic manner, but the experience is very relaxing overall.

Today, Unbound Medicine announced the availability of Android version of several of their popular titles such as the Merck Manual and Davis Drug guide. Here are some screenshots copied from their website; Check out the list of available titles here http://www.unboundmedicine.com/android If this is telling us anything then it is the fact that medical applications are now ubiquitous on all mobile devices whether it’s Palm, Windows, iPhone, Android, or others.

It’s still super-buggy and far from feature complete, but I thought it was time to announce it here (”release early, release often”). It’s not ready for real users yet, but developers may like to take a little look. Occyd (-k d .. sounds like rockied or oggied) is an application for tagging geolocations, aimed at GPS-enabled network-connected devices. It currently consists of an Android client, and a server backend running on Google App Engine. The (evolving) API is simple enough that it should be easy to write clients (or servers) for various platforms. The idea is to enable people to tag locations on the surface of the planet with a list of k...

I’ve found QR-code “2D barcodes” really handy when playing with my Android phone. Sometimes, I have a web page open on my desktop PC, and I want to quickly load it in the Android Chrome browser to see what it looks like. Rather than re-typing it with my thumbs, the Barcode Scanner application allows me to scan a QR-code from the screen of my computer, and if the decoded text contains a URL, open it in the Android browser. These two bookmarklets turn the URL of the current page that is open in your browser into a scannable QR-code: Google Charts API based bookmarklet: Drag this link –>Current URL to QR-code to your bookmarks toolbar.

I’m also a compulsive delicious tagger, so I quickly discovered the existing practice for geotagging delicious bookmarks. Essentially, this seems to be: add the tag ‘geotagged‘, along with the tags ‘geo:lat=X.xxx‘ and ‘geo:lon=X.xxx‘, where the X.xxx’s are the latitude and longtitude numbers that are likely to come straight out of your GPS, in decimal degrees (WGS84). This is all very nice, but the problem with tags in this format is that there is no easy or efficient way to use them to retrieve all items tagged for a particular locality. Sure, if I’m standi...

Today, the advice might be: ‘Remember your cell phone!’ A maker of over-the-counter cold and flu remedies released a program this week for the T-Mobile G1, also known as the “Google phone,” that warns the user how many sick people there are in an area.read more | digg story from the Palmdoc Chronicles The phone that feels the flu before you do (Source: The Palmdoc Chronicles) The Palmdoc Chronicles blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=2017623 Fri, 05 Dec 2008 05:00:00 +0100 2017623 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=1646055&cid=t_194002_133_f&fid=35096&url=http%3A%2F%2Ffeeds.b5media.com%2F%7Er%2Fb5media%2FAutismVox%2F%7E3%2F343039127%2F When Charlie was starting to randomly imitate sounds on his own, the soundtrack of our lives started to get taken over by assorted rhythmic patterns of grinding grunts, beeps, and hums of all sorts and tones. After some careful listening to everything in the house, we realized that the sources for two of his main sound-verbalizations were the garage door (with the automatic opener) of his grandparents’ house, and the microwave oven. Because of course—-unlike Jim and me rambling on about whatever and in whatever tone of voice and with whatever choice of words we pleased, mechanical devices always sound the same.
