HTO Robot Nurse Will Robots Replace Healthcare Providers?

Automation has been making human workers superfluous for centuries, but until recently, workers whose jobs required high-level cognitive skills have been able to rest easy, confident no machine could possibly replace them when it came to making nuanced decisions based on the evaluation of complicated, sometimes contradictory data. By Khal Rai, Senior Vice President, Product Development & Operations, SRS Health

In the midst of the Information Age we face the reality that ever more digital content is being created, stored and distributed, and there’s no end in sight. With as much as 90% of that data being unstructured, such as documents, spreadsheets, images and the like, storage as usual will not suffice in this new reality as organizations demand simpler, more affordable, scalable and reliable storage for digital content. The increasing demand requires a scale-out architecture that delivers infrastructure that supports private and public storage clouds and can seamlessly scale to meet evolving business needs.

  • 2020 Trends, Predictions, And Promising Applications For Technology And Healthcare
    12/20/2019

    We see the most promising applications in healthcare when real time decision making using simple data sets can relieve the burden on the caregiver and drive better outcomes for patients. For example, alarm fatigue in hospitals - both clinically and operationally - is a cause of lost productivity and decreased patient safety. AI technology can be applied to a smart pump to only sound an alarm when there is a critical need for intervention and to initiate an escalation process if there is no response.

    3/2/2020

    Healthcare organizations are being bombarded with phishing attacks. Of the 168 hacking incidents against healthcare organizations in the first half of 2019, more than half (52 percent) were phishing attacks, according to the Protenus 2019 Mid-Year Breach Barometer Report. Some of the most newsworthy hacks included UConn Health (326,000 records compromised) and the Oregon Department of Human Services (645,000 records and 2.5 million emails compromised).
