Overview:
The vast array of devices currently available to healthcare professionals is expanding rapidly, and many question the wisdom of making purchase today when newer and better options seem to be available long before the useful life of the devices has been reached. How much of this data is worth the expense? Do all patients need all of these devices in their room? Fusing data from a wide array of devices into a coherent state of the patient readout is becoming harder and harder to obtain, and when one is confronted with conflicting results, what do you do?
This module explores many of the new medical sensors and scanners and how key readings can be transmitted to a common repository for analysis, fusion, and data mining. More is not always better and the quality of the whole system must be paramount. Life expectancy has double over the previous 100 years. The interesting question is: with all of our new technology and improvements, can we do it again?
