Abstract

OBJECTIVE. We describe a networked database system to implement a departmental list of International Classification of Diseases, 9th edition (ICD-9) codes for use by reporting radiologists. CONCLUSION. Our system is reliable, easy to use, and has increased coding accuracy and speed. In-house development allowed designing a system to specifically address the needs of the radiology group. The resulting list of codes accurately reflects the current practice environment and grows dynamically to suit changing needs.

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.
