Title:Too Much Information: Strategies for Making the Most of Medical Technology
Abstract:
As new medical technologies are developed and existing technologies find
wider clinical uses, demand increases for ways to obtain, manage, and
utilize medical data. Increased speed and sensitivity are critical needs
in imaging technologies, for example, but data acquisition and processing
pose significant barriers. Telemedicine is becoming a critical part of
our medical landscape, as it holds great promise for allowing clinicians
to monitor remotely located patients via sensing devices. However, a real
need exists for developing new means of acquiring and transmitting these
data that meet stringent power requirements and robust communication
needs. Illustrative examples of such approaches will be presented as well
as related areas of interest to the NIH.
