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

  • How Virtua Healthcare Transitioned To An IP-Based Surveillance System
    6/27/2013

    Since Virtua’s facilities have the latest, state-of-the- art digital equipment, Virtua administrators felt it was necessary to upgrade their video surveillance to safeguard its tools. Their current surveillance system included a number of analog cameras that were not meeting their coverage capabilities and video resolution needs. The video management system (VMS) software became too cumbersome to operate on a daily basis, missing the ability to access usable recorded images.

  • The Project Doctor Is In: The Importance Of Routine Project Health Checks
    11/8/2018

    Can a software project be alive? This is an interesting idea, as a software project has no body, no apparent vital signs to measure, and has no other tangible qualities one would attribute to “life." A project is born, it grows, it consumes resources, and has a finite end usually marked by retiring support or through abrupt termination. Inorganic, incorporeal, but it is indeed living, and it requires proper and routine check-ups to keep the project headed toward success. As a doctor performs a health check on patients, so to must project leaders check-up on their living projects.

  • Age-In-Place Storage: When Not To Tier And Migrate Active Data
    11/12/2009
    We acknowledge the changes in file reference behavior are subtle, consistent, and complex. There are two ways to “look” at any file on a Unix file system4. The most common is with the file’s path and name, which is exactly what people and most programs do when they open or close a file as we look at a directory structure. Even so, names are not used to mange files. By Randy Chalfant
