Physiology – Go Wireless
Physiology – Go Wireless
Recording and analysis of physiological data from active subjects had been used for a long time in many applications of human physiology, sports, clinical and research. The data gathered by such recordings has played a vital role in all above applications and resulted in thousands of new discoveries, product development, improvement and even human performance enhancement.
However, the methodology of gathering such data has come a long way and been improved, discussed and highly scrutinized over years. Recording data from conscious and freely moving subjects has evolved as biggest challenge for scientist, system developers and engineers lately. Also, there are debates on the conventional way of recording data that such method induce stress to the subjects and is affected by lots of interference and noises due to the wires and electrodes used in such measurement.
A new technology of recording data wireless has been evolving fast in recent past and great amount of research and development effort is being applied on this. Different product developers are working on different spectrum’s of data transmissions and there is a race among them to build the smallest possible wireless transmitters.
Such systems are going to bring a revolution is the field of physiological data recording and will contribute in a big way to better the science and research. Now it will be possible to record a data that will be free from interferences and stress related errors. This will fasten the pace of research and we can expect new breakthroughs, new medicines for sleep disorders, cardiovascular disorders and much more.
A few groups of system engineers is even working on miniature sensors that can be embedded in clothes and thus no requirement of sticking the wireless sensors to the body just wearing clothes embedded with sensors will be sufficient. The subject will not be able to feel any difference while recordings are beings sent from his body to the computers wireless through air. This will be like every medical professionals dream coming true.
Imagine activity log of a child being recorded and rewards being given out automatically when the child meets the required amount of physical activity. This kind of technology will be highly appreciated by parents and make life lot easy for them.
Also, a few applications that can run on your mobile phones using ANDROID are available, these software will change the way patients are being monitored for ever. The physiological data i.e. blood pressure, pulse, ECG, EEG and more from patients will be recorded on the mobile phones and a log will be created automatically for evaluation by a medical practitioner later.…
At every turn of the internet, we’re presented with a new weight loss diet plan option. One plan promises one thing, another promises another, but it’s really important as a consumer that you look for a few key factors to ensure that it really will help you lose weight and more importantly provide you with multiple health benefits.
When one wishes to do temporary medical or health care jobs in various destinations that need as much health care assistance as possible, then that is referred to as a Locum Tenens. All careers in the medical field qualify to become Locum Tenens, as long as their services are needed. This may sound like a risky way to go about building one’s career path, and it is for this reason that one should join a Locum Tenens firm or company. These companies are there to help in assigning jobs, as well as help one negotiate their contract so as to get the best job offer. One would choose to be Locum Tenens so as to travel and gain experience at the same time. This is a great yet risky way to make more money as this group of professionals is paid more than those who get regular paychecks at the end of the month.
I deal mainly with small-to-medium sized employer groups and every time I broach the subject of creating a company culture that promotes the health and wellness of their employees – I usually get the same response. It goes something like this; “Are you kidding? It’s not good enough that I provide a good paying job with a great employee benefits program, now you want me to promote healthy lifestyles for my employees? Forget it!” Coincidentally, my response is always the same. “As long as you [the employer] have a fiduciary responsibility for your companies health plan, meaning, it’s your name on the plan and you’re the one they ultimately look to for payment – then you have an incumbent responsibility to shield your company finance’s against premium increases. Think about it for a moment. If the majority of your employees are living unhealthy lifestyles (i.e. they’re over-weight, they smoke, live sedentary lives) then you’ll be bearing that burden in the form of higher health insurance premiums year after year.
Food creates emotion. When we add the word healthcare into the conversation, well, one can guess what emotion will arise. Healthcare food services, whether in continuing care retirement communities (CCRC), assistant living, skilled care, hospitals, rehabilitation facilities, daycare or meals on wheels, have the opportunity to improve current outcomes.
Summer is closing whether or not you’re prepared to admit it or not. For sure it could possibly remain incredibly hot (especially where I live), but be assured, the cold is coming. Summer and spring browsing has expired and its time to begin unpacking the fall and winter apparel. For the majority of individuals, the increased clothing closely correlates with a diminished focus and awareness of personal fat burning interests. Do not allow that to be you!
