I read this at the end of April and had to check the date that this was originally posted. No, it wasn't the 1st April although I thought it was at first.

There is part of me that thinks this is great, where could it lead? How about a lie detector using visuals? This is the part that I am not keen on. Seems a logical progression to me though. Then how about a system that looks for intent using cc tv cameras around cities?

It has the power for good, but also the power for bad could easily come from it in the next decade or so.

Just my thoughts anyway.

Over the years, new medical advancement and techniques have completely changed the face of healthcare. The medical industry has always brought the best and superior facilities for patients. Often such improved techniques rely on health software and LIS system for their work. Not only diagnosing and treating patients, there are lots of administrative tasks associated with medical software to run a successful medical practice. Heart rate monitor is one of its fine examples. They offer quick access to patient information, give detailed medical information and help physicians to offer best possible cure.

Health care industry has been seeing great changes since long. One of its fine example you have mentioned in the post. What makes it more useful is the way the doctor as well as patient can handle such device with so ease. Health monitoring software helps physicians to know patient information in any condition.

I think we will see more of these kind of developments.

We already have a lot of useful and simple to use sensors available in nearly every home today.

With the development of good software, people can begin to generate their own health baseline.

A baseline is essential for the medical community to move from a "shotgun" approach to medicine to a personalized approach.

The lack of detailed individual baselines has kept the personalized approach from being exploited.

With a good baseline, your individual medical care can be specifically crafted just for you. No more "take two asperins and call me in the morning" treatments.

A detailed baseline enables the medical community to quickly narrow down your current symptoms to generate the critical "new data" about you.

These unique data differences will make a world of difference in how you can get the right treatment for your real issues, not apparent issues.

If they can make the software work, we will see a wonderful improvement in medical treatments.

A great new exploitation of current technology.

Just my opinion,
