Emerging Technology



Emerging Technology
Personalized Medical Monitors
In researching emerging technology I had several choices. A quick entry in a Google search came up with a lot of choices. The most interesting to me was a article on personalized medical monitors.  I don’t know if it is because I just had a baby 6 mths ago or what but all of a sudden I have a medical interest.
The article that I found was written by a gentleman who had just been discharged after a minor surgery only to have his son to be admitted into the hospital that same day. His son had a collapsed lung and required more care and close monitoring. The author believes that the human bodies electrical signals would be more for the world of computer sciences. One of the main hurtles are going to be convincing patients and their families that computers can manage their care. I think this is a wonderful technology and I look forward to seeing what advances can be made in the future using this emerging technology.
