Google glass telemedicine patient information

    First there was telecommuting, now there's telemedicine.  In this article, Google glass is being utilized to determine whether an in-person consult with a doctor is necessary to treat a wound by sending video and audio of patient to doctors and nurses.  While telemedicine seems like a practical way of linking up doctors with patients who really need legitimate medical consult, could we be compromising quality of care in the process?

    This article, published by the International Journal of Obesity, discusses a correlation between use of communication and information technology and overweight and obesity, particularly among girls. However, the researchers did not find a correlation between playing digital games and overweight/obesity. Interestingly, they suggest that digital games me be a good replacement for TV and computer use.

  • Echocardiogram - Echo
  • What is an echocardiogram?An echocardiogram (echo) is a test that uses high frequency sound waves (ultrasound) to make pictures of your heart. The test is also called echocardiography or diagnostic cardiac ultrasound.
  • Quick factsAn echo uses sound waves to create pictures of your heart’s chambers, valves, walls and the blood vessels (aorta, arteries, veins) attached to your heart.A probe called a transducer is passed over your chest. The probe produces sound waves that bounce off your heart and “echo” back to the probe. These waves are changed into pictures viewed on a video monitor.An echo can’t harm you.

    A description of an Echocardiogram, which essentially takes live pictures of the heart in its entirety. I recently underwent this procedure this year to monitor the thickness of my left ventricle as I have Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. I undergo this annually. My Left Ventricle is thicker than it should be and it could lead to a permanent closure stopping the flow of blood if not monitored / treated.
