Background into a VNA A vendor-neutral archive supports vendors often using various formats and systems for imaging technologies. Often, VNAs don’t depend on the software used by the vendor to promote sharing [1]. This allows healthcare providers to utilize different imaging technologies within one archive so that it can be easily...
Imaging Implemented into Wearables Promotes Long-term Monitoring Imaging technology is an efficient tool to aid patients in receiving accurate and fast diagnoses. However, symptoms may change or worsen over time. This is where long-term devices come in, especially wearables which provide real-time monitoring. Some of the biggest challenges revolve around how...
Expectations of Medical Imaging in the Next 20 Years In the next 20 years, radiology will see many more advancements and innovations that change how radiologists interact with imaging technology [1]. This is naturally due to the demand for better, more accurate imaging that improves decision-making [1]. In the next 20...
Unifying Access to Medical Imaging Medical imaging provides a crucial role in both diagnosing and preventing a multitude of health conditions. However, medical imaging must overcome the challenge of providers and patients being unable to access the images or technology. For instance, two-thirds of the world's population lacks access to medical...
AI Enhances Clinical Decisions The use of artificial intelligence is increasing in the healthcare industry. Its popularity is partly due to its ability to promote human-centered design. One way that artificial intelligence achieves this is through the use of clinical decision support systems (CDSS). For instance, CDSS enhances human intelligence by...
AI Used to Assess Readiness in Soldiers AI benefits many sectors for its ability to track, predict, and analyze trends. Regarding military health, AI has the potential to monitor soldiers during their assessments and readiness procedures [1]. This is done using biometric data to test the effects of the selection process...
Perception of Augmented Intelligence Augmented intelligence is known for its ability to improve diagnosis, detect patient patterns, and predict various outcomes [1]. Some adults worry that artificial intelligence will replace the need for humans and would be destructive to healthcare. However, it’s important to clarify that augmented intelligence improves human intelligence....
Advances in Smart Home Monitoring with AI Patients with disabilities and older patients can benefit from AI monitoring homes via sensors and cameras [1]. For instance, AI can detect falls, dispense medications, and track a patient’s whereabouts as needed [1]. AI can also be paired with household machines like washing machines...
Current Readiness of Older Patients for Emergencies Older patients may feel like they are ready and prepared to handle an emergency situation, however, a poll showed that many lack the preparation needed to manage one [1]. For instance, some older patients have not signed up for notifications that a natural disaster...
Goals Regarding Aging and Digital Health Transformation The aging population can live longer and keep their independence thanks to advancements in healthcare and technology [1]. Furthermore, 93% of those surveyed disclosed the desire to age independently from their home, regardless of their income and age [1]. Therefore, digital health transformations must...
