Hospital Beds can be Fun

I always thought staying at the hospital was a scary thing but a company called Lincor Solutions has come out with a solution that can make it fun.Realizing the need for something more engaging than plain-jane television these days, they have come out with an entertainment system called the MEDIVista. The basic premise is quite simple: a touch screen, LCD display is mounted to the side of a hospital bed which the hospital staff can use to display x-rays or medical information, and the patient can use for entertainment. Users can watch IPTV, listen to the radio or audio books, make VoIP calls, surf the Internet, check email, as well as play web and network based games.

Lincor Solutions Ltd., the Irish software company specialising in Healthcare solutions has successfully tendered to install its innovative MEDIVistaTM solution in the Holy Name Hospital, Teaneck, New Jersey, USA. Lincor will install its patented MEDIVistaTM solution providing fully digital triple-play entertainment and information services to patients as well as secure touch screen access to clinical applications such as Electronic Patient Records and X-Ray images at the point of care for medical personnel.

So next time you fall ill first ensure if your Hospital has the MEDIVistaTM before getting admitted.

'Super Cool ' Laptop Doctor

My fever and my attempt to save money made me to lookout for any free technology online that can help me measure my temperature and perform some routine tests to help my diagnosis.(This is what your expenses in the US can do to you- make you sound insane). Though my search for an online thermometer and an online lab( an interesting business idea) didn't lead me anywhere it did open a door of hope when I read an article on a Laptop that could do a heart scan, abdomen scan and even a pregnancy test.

The system developed by an Indian firm runs on a standard Apple Macintosh laptop computer, which is integrated with a fusion processor and a unique, custom-designed, integrated ultrasound chip set.

The familiar Windows graphical user interface makes the system intuitive and easy to use. The laptop is designed for general, vascular, and breast imaging, interventional radiology, image-guided intervention, endocrinology, laparoscopy, neuro-sonography and nephrology.

The laptop has collar Doppler for better imaging of a total body scan and weighs around three kilograms. The price varies between $30,000 and $80,000, depending on the type of configuration a doctor wants.

May be I didn't get what I wanted but certainly looks like I might in the near future. This laptop is just a beginning of more things to follow. In the super fast lane this device can save you a lot of money and keep you healthy. May be for now they can start of by adding a thermometer.

Thanks,
