It is back to school time, which means if you are a parent with younger children, it is time to fill out countless forms and medical records. I have three children and each one requires about 6 different forms. This process used to take me hours and all I was left with was a sore neck, cramped hand, and an empty glass of wine (or two). Fortunately, the school this year decided to move everything over to a new, pre-populated, SaaS application. It was convenient, fast, and easy to use.

Have you ever wondered how healthcare is caring for the sick rather than the healthy? Data now allows the industry to change this and provide predictive maintenance for the human body. But what do Twitter, Thomas Edison and Dunkin’ Donuts have to do with it? When Clearsense’ Chief Innovation Officer Charles Boicey was at the Cloudera Palo Alto studio recently, we took the opportunity to sit down for an impromptu interview and find out.

Technology and digitization are disrupting every industry—and healthcare is no exception. In this time-critical industry, patient care needs to be efficient and convenient. This is increasingly evidenced by the rise of individualized healthcare via direct-to-consumer (D2C) and convenience care models such as telemedicine to find doctors, pay bills, schedule appointments, order prescription refills, receive consultations, and more.

Even though the healthcare industry has been slower to adopt Internet of Things technologies than other industries, the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) is destined to transform how we keep people safe and healthy, especially as the demand for lowering healthcare costs increases. The Internet of Medical Things refers to the connected system of medical devices and applications that collect data that is then provided to healthcare IT systems through online computer networks.

Introduction Developing new drugs is an expensive, time-consuming endeavor. A critical output of the drug development process, besides the compound itself, is data. As you may have read recently, Zolgensma™ re-surfaced in the press because of supposed data manipulation in a specific animal testing procedure. Needless to say, this is a big deal.

We’ve got a lot of customers in the healthcare space. It’s a really interesting space to be in from an analytics perspective because our customers are based across the world and have a wide variety of use cases - from financial administration all the way through to hospital performance and risk metrics.

The Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) is a connected system of smart medical devices and applications that have the capability to stream and process data wirelessly in the cloud. These connected devices remotely monitor patient vitals and activities, which can then be used by medical officers to administer proactive care with personalized treatment plans through stream analytics in healthcare.

Information Technology Workers in the health-care industry can streamline collaboration efforts as well as how they offer patient care, all while following HIPAA regulations

Universal Health Services runs more than 15,000 tests per day to ensure that patient-critical applications and records are available for physicians and clinicians. Universal Health Services is one of the 10 largest for-profit health systems in the United States, and it relies heavily on Cerner to deliver EHR application services to healthcare professionals all across the country.

Healthcare organizations strive to enhance patient experience, ensuring that patients receive proper treatment at the right time, every time. However, due to antiquated communication tools, such as the pager, this goal is often difficult to achieve for some healthcare providers. Today’s healthcare facilities require an advanced pager replacement solution, integrating with intelligent scheduling systems and EMR solutions for better patient outcomes.
