| LOCATION: Mayberry's on Miller Street. (The Buena Vista Grill is closing) | ||||
| PRESENTATION: | ||||
| Smart healthcare systems are needed to address the real problems of our aging population. The healthcare industry is
challenged to deploy systems that increase operating efficiency and improve the quality care while operating on extremely thin financial
margins. Low cost, low power, and IP network connected electronics enable a practical “product platform” that processes sensor data into
actionable information and care documentation records. Some common healthcare tasks that were previously scheduled at time intervals may be initiated automatically by sensors. The presence of a staff member at a patient bedside can be easily documented. Fixed location and mobile terminals enable ubiquitous access to networked information. By automating common healthcare tasks and reducing the documentation burden on staff, more time can be spent providing care. Specific needs within this environment of care can be addressed by motion, wetness sensors and other sensors. Wireless MedCARE has developed a platform technology to enable the "internet of medical device things." The first product built on the platform that was cleared by the FDA is VivaTRAK(TM). The system will be applied as a paying service in Texas in mid 2012. | ||||
