Abstract

Modern computer technology provides practices with modalities to communicate directly with patients at low cost. This article describes several TeleVox systems that allow managers to confirm appointments, issue recalls, and transmit laboratory and other data. Other systems allow patients to leave messages for their providers more directly and also allow practices to supply educational information on medical topics while patients are on hold.

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.
