Abstract

Streamlined procedures, fewer errors, improved consultation on patient care, and lowered costs are among the advantages cited by healthcare facilities that are using information technology in efforts to outpace their competitors. Technology ranging from executive information systems to medical record imaging can provide improved access to data and aid strategic decision making. Even so, the perceived benefits of a particular form of technology should not outweigh sound business planning.

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.
