Questions:
10.1 Technology
Watch http://www.ted.com/talks/eric_topol_the_wireless_future_of_medicine (16:58).
While this talk is a bit dated, the issues presented remain relevant. What innovations are currently being developed in health care and how might these innovations change the current long-term care landscape?
Consider technological tools used in long term care such as call systems, wandering alarms, fall alarms, behavioral RPM systems, rule-based behavioral monitoring, vital sign monitoring, teleconferencing, electronic health records, and home care information systems. Pick one tool to write about. What does the tool do exactly? How does it reshape the way in which care is provided? Has it been widely adopted in the US? How much does it cost? Write a scenario where the tool is needed and adopted. Describe the need, the approach to adoption, barriers to adoption, how barriers were overcome, and the positive outcomes that emerged from using the tool over time.
