The Precautionary Principle - A Realistic Solution to Cell Phone Radiation? - 0 views

  • Cell Phone
  • those who frequently use cell phones on a certain side of their head are 50% more likely than non-cell-phone-users to develop a tumor in the salivary gland on that side of the head.

      people are frequently on their cell phones for many reasons and most of the time they have the cell phone on a specific side of their head without the knowledge of the radition coming from the cell phone can be harmful to their body
  • the precautionary principle suggests practices such as using a wired headset instead of a Bluetooth earpiece, and enabling the speaker function rather than holding the phone to your ear. In addition, rather than storing the cell phone in your pocket, keep the phone away from your body between calls. Paramount to the precautionary principle is to limit the use of cell phones whenever possible. Make fewer calls and make shorter ones. Choose a cell phone with low-radiation and limit children's cell phone usage, since their brain cells may be more sensitive to the effects of cell phone radiation.

      suggested solutions are that wired headset to be used over bluetooth earpiece, placing the phone on speaker when in a call, keep the phone away form the body in between calls, give childreen cell phone that emitt low-radiation and limit their cell phone usage since their brain cells are more senstitive to the radiation effects at a young age

  • Cell phones and other hand held devices are rapidly becoming a part of our culture. Cell phones are everywhere. They are used by 87 percent of Americans and over 4 billion people worldwide. Students in high school and now even grade school children are using cell phones to talk to each other, and text messaging has become a social norm. We are addicted to cell phones.
    • Mitchell Springer
       
      introducing cell phones to younger children can create a risk factor on their health in the future. since they would want to be more so engaged with the cell phone now that they obtain one, the radiation will spill out faster onto them and it may have a greater effect on the body than to an older person
  • New technologies are emerging to shield the electromagnetic radiation (EMR) emitted from cell phones and other electronic devices. Certain chips can be attached to cell phones and earpieces to counteract the EMR, and special paint coated on your walls can limit EMR from adjacent apartments seeping into yours. These shields may help you if you stay behind them. Those who like to roam can wear special headbands, clothing, hats, gloves, and pendants designed to protect the wearer against radiofrequencies and EMR

Expert: Technology fosters voyeurism - Washington Times - 0 views

  •  
    It seems new personal video technology is having unintended consequences for our culture. Answer: Without a doubt. I work with a lot of adolescents, and one of the issues we are running into is the "sexting" or text-messaging of sexually explicit materials and pictures. In a lot of ways, it's raising or heightening the sexualized nature of adolescence.

Washington Times - Telemedicine allows for long-distance diagnoses - 3 views

  • While outwardly expensive — installation can range between $2.5 million and $3.5 million — and, to some, a seemingly excessive measure, the off-site support operation has shown itself in studies to be cost-effective in a relatively short period of time. Recovery of patients was faster, mortality rates in ICUs were lower, patients' stays were shorter, thereby shaving hospital costs by 24.6 percent, and fewer intensivists were needed.

Healthcare Industry Turns to DeviceAnywhere to Bring their Products and Services to the... - 0 views

  • Quality of service can't be left to chance for any healthcare provider developing mobile applications.  However, this is especially true when the health insurance company is part of the largest single health carrier in the United States, providing health care services to more than 25 million consumers with a network of approximately 590,000 physicians and care professionals nationwide. For an organization of this size, they often select technology partners such as DeviceAnywhere, who share their company's commitment to excellence and innovation.
  • Not surprisingly, security and reliability resonate as two of the top priorities for Sensei Inc. as well.  As a provider of innovative mobile and Web-based solutions that prompt consumers at point-of-decision moments to make healthier eating, medical and lifestyle choices, Sensei relies on DeviceAnywhere to ensure that their consumers receive their personalized nutrition and health counseling on a consistent and confidential basis. After all, when customers count on Sensei mobile programs for critical reminders to take their medications or make on-the-spot decisions related to healthy eating choices, there is no room for error in downtime or compatibility issues between users' devices and networks.

    The Open Medical Record System (OpenMRS) is providing countries, such as South Africa, with an online patient medical record system.
  •  
    This article is about the need for OpenMRS in developing countries such as South Africa. This is necessary because it will help improve how people are treated. By knowing about someone's medical history, it can help decrease the spread of diseases such as HIV and Aids.
  •  
    The issue is that there is a lack of open medical record systems in developing countries. Because of this diseases are being spread when they can easily be prevented. The thing that people were doing that gave rise to this issue is that in some countries, diseases were being spread at a faster rate then in others because of lack of background medical information. the impact that this has on people is that people in developing countries are spreading diseases at a faster rate. So diseases such as HIV and Aids are spreading in developing countries such as South Africa because of lack of medical background. The stakeholders are patients. The IT system is open medical record system. The area of impact is health. The social and ethical issue is equality of access. By having a medical record of everyone, people will be able to be treated equally because the doctor's will have their whole medical history.
