Abstract

The Regional Medical Center at Memphis--the oldest hospital in Tennessee--acknowledged that information technology is a critical key to the pursuit of medical and managerial excellence. By outsourcing much of the center's computing and telecommunications needs, the MED's CEO, Lucy Shaw, feels she has maximized information technology benefits to her institution with maximum cost control.

Wireless connectivity for health and sports monitoring: a review.

This is a review of health and sports monitoring research that uses or could benefit from wireless connectivity. New, enabling wireless connectivity standards are evaluated for their suitability, and an assessment of current exploitation of these technologies is summarised. An example of the application is given, highlighting the capabilities of a network of wireless sensors. Issues of timing and power consumption in a battery-powered system are addressed to highlight the benefits networking can provide, and a suggestion of how monitoring different biometric signals might allow one to gain additional information about an athlete or patient is made.
