The tablet-based app, called CHAMP (Cardiac High-Acuity Monitoring Program)

Previously, patients were monitored with a paper-based, "three-ring binder" system, which created a heavy responsibility for families, was hard to maintain accurately and was difficult to share with physicians in a timely manner when rapid interventions may be necessary. In contrast, the app gathers both automated and manually-entered data that is directly fed into a database and the EMR for constant monitoring and analysis by their care team. This includes oxygen saturation levels measured by a Bluetooth pulse oximeter, manually-entered weight and feeding logs, and 15-second videos of breathing that have proven invaluable to doctors as they monitor their patients' healing.

Despite its benefits, technology is still a disruptive innovation, as well as an expensive one. Faculty members are forced to invest time in learning new approaches with little budget support. With technology, students are more than ever engaged in creating their own knowledge

Social networking is now used as a tool for supporting career activates and building connections with alumni.

For instance, MagnifyMoney.com recently released survey data that showed that 42.4 percent of Americans carry credit card debt: $10,902: Average balance for those with credit card debt. $8,864: Average credit card balance for millennials. $12,026: Average credit card balance for Generation X. Those numbers, while based on a survey of 1,435 people in April, are not far off from numbers reported by NerdWallet.com that are based on government data, including Federal Reserve statistics. $7,087: Average household credit card debt. $15,191: Average balance for households that have any credit card debt.

Researchers are very interested in leveraging these circulating tumor cells, or CTCs, which have the potential to allow the properties of a tumor to be better understood without a biopsy, and may also help physicians recognize how aggressive a tumor is and whether it is likely to cause metastatic disease.

Recent discoveries have shown that CTCs are highly heterogeneous -- with individual cancer cells possessing very different molecular characteristics -- and that only a small subset of these cells actually possess the metastatic potential to spread the disease throughout the body.

The new approach would potentially reduce the number of surgeries the patients have to undergo in the first six months of life from two to just one

it would also create a more stable circuit for blood to flow from the heart to the lungs and the rest of the body within the first days and months of life.

Researchers have created a new neural interface to provide sensory information from an artificial hand to the brain

Target last month became one of the first retailers to begin quietly testing a technology known as CurrentC, created by a group of retailers called the Merchant Customer Exchange.

confirmed that a group of Target’s headquarters employees has been trying out the CurrentC app in a couple of dozen Target stores around the Twin Cities.
