1. What is the lightest and the heaviest weight of the "wearable robots"?
2. About how much is the rent of the wearable robot per month, and when an elderly has health insurance, how much does the health insurance cover the rent?
We assume that this article is very important to the society. This Article demonstrates how technology can cure diseases that never can be cured in the previous time. It also will show how necessary the society needs the technology.
Identify the area of impact the scenario relates to.
Health
Identify the main stakeholders to the IT system.
Patients, Brain Computer Interface, Tridi
Identify one ITGS social/ethical concern in the article.
Reliability
Describe ITGS terminology and systems.
BCI- Brain Computer Interface recognizes brain signals and uses them to control electrical or communication devices and can even assist in repairing human cognitive or sensory-motor functions. The technology use sensors to detect brain activity and amplify signals, which can then be processed into messages or commands to aid decision-making.
If possible, describe a solution to the concern (issue).
The reliability of the IT systems may be a concerned because the IT system may not be able to handle the different kind of disability, because there are many different kinds of disability. Moreover, the current concerns are that the users' lack of strengths. A possible solution for the system is to experiment the system to different people with different needs, so that it can handle different kind of people and their specific needs. A possible solution for the users, is to train them so that they can use the systems for a long time without getting exhausted, because the purpose of the BCI is to be able to use for a long term.
1. Identify the area of impact the scenario relates to.
This article is related to Heath problems
2. Identify all the ITGS terminology and phrases (IT and Social/Ethical)
Video conferencing system=A form of synchronous learning in which two or more locations are connected through live video to facilitate collaboration and information sharing, unified communications, Wi-Fi, Mobile IP, RFID, translator, smart phones, Telemedicine, electronic, portable camera
3. Describe one ITGS social/ethical concern in the article.
Internet access and privacy problems, digital divide and internet access equality
4. Describe the relationship of the main stakeholders to the IT system.
Main stakeholders : doctors, patients
Doctors can now look at each patient over the system, without physically being there with their patient. What this basically means that it can input the symptoms of the patient through a computer, rather than writing it up on paper. The advantage of the system is that doctors and patients don't need to travel to each others' place just to get looked at, because it can all be done via video conferencing.
5. Explain the relationship between the IT system and the social/ethical issue identified in question 3.
The issue of reliability is related to the IT System (software and internet) in which the software relies on the internet connection. Therefore, if the internet connection fails to work properly, the software would not be efficient, and thus not reliable.
6. Discuss at least one problem that relates to the impacts of the social/ethical issue.
The major problem that will arise from the impact of the reliability concern are the patients' lives. The patients lives would be in danger if the doctor diagnoses the illness incorrectly, and prescribes medication incorrectly. Wrong doses of certain medical treatments would be a threat to the patients' lives.
7. Evaluate one solution that addresses the problem identified.
A solution that has been done is
1. Identify the area of impact the scenario to.
- Business, Health
2. Identify the main stakeholders to IT system.
- the elective amputation patient. The people that are unable to use their hand.
3. Identify on ITGS social/ethical concern in the article.
- People and machines.
4. Describe ITGS terminology and system.
- Bionic: Artificial body part. The application of biology engineering.
- Sensor: The device that use to record that something is present.
5. If possible, describe a solution to the concern.
- The problem that this bionic hand got is that the patient may not feel like the bionic hands can replace their real hands, and the solution is that in the future that the technology is better so they can make the bionic hand better.
1. Identify the area of impact the scenario relates to.
Health, business
2. Identify the main stakeholders to the IT system.
Companies that makes microchips. Patients with tumor. Doctors
3. Identify one ITGS social/ethical concern in the article.
People and machines
4. Describe ITGS terminology and system.
Microelectronics: A subfield of electronics. Microelectronics relates to study and manufacture of very small electronic components.
Electrodes: An electrical conductor used to make contact with a nonmetallic part of a circuit.
Microchips: A small semiconductor used to relay information through specific electrical characteristics.
Sensor: A device that is light, temperature, or radiation sensitive. It transmits a signal to a control or measuring instrument.
PC: Personal computers
The issue is that the increasing integration of medical devices in hospital networks can increases the risk of being attacked easily, which they hack into the network and steals information. They need to strengthen the security to get against with the possibility of virus attacks which could have a huge damage on delivering data for medication. The Public Health Ministry can play an important role as a regulator in healthcare security, as a same system with the security in the network banking.
