Mobile, Social, Crowd, Cloud: Why These Concepts Matter - Forbes - 0 views

  • ASSIST’s most powerful application to date is called Tactical Ground Reporting System or TIGR (why not TGRS?), which is being used by soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan.
  • Maeda set the stage by telling us of how intelligence in the military traditionally flows.  Soldiers observe something (e.g., men in keffiyeh with Kalashnikovs coming from and going to a mud-walled compound) and write up a report, which is passed up the chain of command to someone with the authority to decide whether or not to initiate an activity (e.g., call in an airstrike).  The information moves upward in the organization, and the soldier who made the observation may never know how it was used.
  • It’s the soldiers who need to know what’s happening in the compound, knowledge that could mean the difference between life and death.

    ASSIST's most powerful application to date is called Tactical Ground Reporting System or TIGR, which is being used by soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan. This helps the soldier be able to get the information to his commander and then to the head person to decide if they will need to make a move on the threat.

    This article is talking about how technology has had a great impact on the medical field. Some examples are painless needles, which scientists are working on right now. Needles always scare children, so the painless needle is going to make it where they will not be afraid anymore. Another thing is cloning. This technology can be used for many things such as burn victims, cancer patients, the lost of a limb, and even brain damage. Technology has already had a tremendous impact on the medical field and they are still making it even better.

Technology trends in telemedicine - Technology - Healthcare Management - 0 views

    "The concept of telemedicine was introduced more than 30 years ago through the use of telephone, facsimile machine, and slow-scan images. However, the enabling technology has grown considerably in the past decade. The term telemedicine, in short refers to the utilization of telecommunication technology for medical diagnosis, treatment and patient care. " This is just saying that telemedicine is not a new idea. It has been going on for at least 30 years.

    "34% of users report their organization's telemedicine program has been in existence between 1 and 2 years, and almost 20% report their program has been in existence for 5 years or longer. Supporting "Continuing Medical Education" is the most common way in which telemedicine is used, followed closely by "clinical consultations". "Text documents" are the most frequently transmitted type of medical information transmitted between locations, while "real-time motion video" is transmitted least frequently. A desire to "deliver quality care to rural/under-served areas" was cited by users as the most important reason their organizations decided to implement a telemedicine, but non-users claim the "availability of affordable technology" would be their primary motivation. "Access to medical databases" was considered the most valuable clinical telemedicine application cited by users. 87% of those using telemedicine report that their organization provides them with access to the Internet. Slightly more than a third of those using telemedicine report that their organization "occasionally" uses telemedicine to assess a patient at a remote location, while almost half "occasionally" use an interactive technology to consult with a remote caregiver. "Lack of funding" was by both users and non-users as the greatest impediment to the growth of telemedicine. Budgets for the majority of new telemedicine programs (less than one year old) appear to have increased by 50% or more from 1997 to 1998. However, budgets for the majority of older telemedicine programs (5 years or more), have remained the same for the majority of the respondents. Non-users indicated that having access to medical databases and the ability to transmit medical images would be the two most valuable telemedicine capabilities. " This talks about the findings of telemedicine that researchers have discovered.

Official Google Blog: Do you "Google?" - 0 views

  •  
    Posted by Michael Krantz, Google Blog Team Q: What do zippers, baby oil, brassieres and trampolines have in common? A: No, the answer isn't that they're all part of the setup for a highly inappropriate joke. In fact, the above list (along with thermos, cellophane, escalator, elevator, dry ice and many more) are all words that fell victim to those products' very success and, as they became more and more popular, slipped from trademarked status into common usage. Will "Google" manage to avoid this fate? This year has brought a spate of news stories about the word's addition to the Merriam-Webster and the Oxford English dictionaries, an honor that's simultaneously highly flattering and faintly unsettling. Consider, for example, this passage from a New York Times story published last May: "Jim sent a message introducing himself and asking, 'Do you want to make a movie?'" Mr. Fry recalled in a telephone interview from his home in Buda, Tex. 'So we Googled him, he passed the test, and T called him. That was in March 1996; we spent the summer coming up with the story, and we pitched it that fall.'" Now, since Larry and Sergey didn't actually launch Google until 1998, Mr. Fry's usage of 'Google' is as distressing to our trademark lawyers as it is thrilling to our marketing folks. So, lest our name go the way of the elevators and escalators of yesteryear, we thought it was time we offered this quick semantic primer. A trademark is a word, name, symbol or device that identifies a particular company's products or services. Google is a trademark identifying Google Inc. and our search technology and services. While we're pleased that so many people think of us when they think of searching the web, let's face it, we do have a brand to protect, so we'd like to make clear that you should please only use "Google" when you're actually referring to Google Inc. and our services. Here are some hopefully helpful examples. Usage: 'Google' as noun referring to, well, us.

    "Lee Rainie, Director of the Pew Research Center's Internet & American Life Project, spoke about "As learning goes mobile" at the Educause 2011 annual conference. He described the Project's latest findings about how people (especially young adults) use mobile devices, including smartphones and tablet computers. He discussed how the mobile revolution has combined with the social networking revolution to produce new kinds of learning and knowledge-sharing environments and described the challenges and opportunities this presents to colleges and teachers. Technology has enabled students to become different kinds of learners and Lee will explore what that means. "
