Google's Massive Healthy Body Study

This week Google announced that the company is undertaking an extremely ambitious project, to quote from The Guardian UK: http://www.theguardian.com/technology/2014/jul/28/google-baseline-health-study

"Google wants to map how the human body behaves when it’s healthy, which could dramatically improve modern medicine."

What this is about ...

A technical blog is dedicated to discussing aspect of the next generation of patient monitoring and management. I post new entries as I am able. I encourage you to become a follower. If you have an interest in this area, I think you will not be disappointed.

I am a technologist of long standing and I often can spot technical trends of an industry or of a particular company. I'm unconcerned with the financial or business impact. That is for others to consider. I'm interested in technology and its likely impacts on people's lives. Although my profile mentions that my most recent experience is with Medtronic. I had lengthy experience with St. Jude Medical. Any examples I provide do not necessarily originate from Medtronic or St. Jude Medical. I have contacts from a variety of medical device companies and constantly research the industry. My examples will originate from a variety of sources.

In the spirit of what I've written above, many may not know that a quiet revolution in medicine is occurring. The information highway, the Internet, is being extended into medicine. Wireless data communication with the Internet will be enlisted to enable people to connect with the Internet. The interchange of electronic patient records and digitized medical images are just a part of this revolution. In the near future, your physician can monitor your health remotely. Furthermore, if you have an implanted medical device (IMD) such as a pacemaker, ICD, neuro-stimulator, diabetes management device, etc., your physician can monitor your vital signs and change the settings on your implanted, therapeutic device remotely - virtually anywhere. Even very sick individuals could be enabled to live their lives at home rather than in an institution such as a hospital or nursing facility This can be performed safely and securely, and cost-effectively to provide people will fuller and longer lives.

Finally, a disclaimer regarding the advertisements that you see on this blog. I have no connection with the advertisers that appear on this blog. An appearance of an advertisement on this blog does not constitute an endorsement from me.
