One talk caught my eye because of my interest in the area of technology and medicine. Dr. Eric Topol, a cardiologist, gives us a glimpse of what is already happening now and in the very near future with wireless technology.
Real time vital signs, EKG readings, EEG readings, and glucose levels are currently technologically possible both for home use and in the clinical setting. Real time data capture and transmission of this information onto your peripheral handheld device is going to revolutionize the entire spectrum of preventative medicine, primary care, inpatient care, and emergency medicine.
Handheld mobile devices are taking over the world, and wireless healthcare monitoring is where it's at.
Hmm, maybe I should invest in battery technology. How's all this going to be powered?
