Global healthcare system needs thorough reform

The modern people's life expectancy, but also more and more people are deeply troubled by chronic disease and disability.

Medical institutions began a shortage, medical insurance will continue to rise like a rocket. All of these factors is an urgent call for a better able to meet the medical needs of people in healthcare systems. However, although the diagnosis and treatment tools for performance improvement, but no one is accepted by the community of practical health care system.

Healthcare device input and output, communication protocols and storage mechanisms between lack of standardization is the dilemma of one of the main reasons.

Another reason is the United States food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved medical device inputs used programs get too long.

Influence technology more advanced healthcare equipment and universal as a major obstacle is the lack of a unified medical records system, this system should be able to track patient globally, and makes any medical institutions simply knocked a few keyboard to see the patient's medical history.

Such a system requires a reliable, secure and efficient communication of medical data and data storage, but these should only be medical institutions, medical insurance and patient access.

But in the implementation of such a system, many questions must first be resolved.

One of which is to determine how to pay for the technology-driven health care system, and who pays for it. For example, there is not a system allowing the doctor to the medical insurance (or patient) sent to the remote analysis and treatment of billing.

In addition, this technology is a leading healthcare costs will not be like a bottomless pit? medical institutions will pay or payment by the patient to? or by final from taxpayers the Government funds to cover this also poses? responsibility issues.

Rely on remote data transfer and make troubleshooting will be medical malpractice litigation cases open new doors.

In order to study and address the health care costs soaring way of life, health and demographic trends, in June 2006 to set up a health-care equipment and digital equipment Internet standardization.

The Union's aim is, through medical devices and equipment of universal access to improve and achieve more accurate healthcare management.

"Standardization will make medical electronic technology is more popular.

Currently in medical device data interface, these data exchange and storage areas have many standards, including some proprietary standards. "Intel company chronic disease management Marketing Manager Ray Askew. As health-care equipment and digital equipment Internet standardization Union members, Intel released the Health Guide for testing, this is a medical information monitoring and communication of the PC. It can monitor has a chronic disease of the elderly people, and some important tizheng over the network to the remote medical institutions provide detailed data.

Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) and the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) to cooperate in the establishment of the ISO/IEEE 11073 personal health equipment working group aims to develop healthcare data transfer and delivery standards.

Health care equipment and digital equipment Internet standardization Union to these standards as a basis for their work.

No doubt, for better healthcare technology.

Common low-cost micro electro mechanical systems (MEMS) movement and the image sensor has been widely used, and has made important contributions.

"Using a motion sensor can be better understood to have a joint disease patients make a gait analysis results, and hopefully bring better treatment effect.

"Freescale Semiconductor company industrial solutions marketing Avi Wolfson said.

MEMS technology is not the only solution.

Like Microfluidic MEMS structures that are difficult to rely on high-volume production to realization of low-cost manufacturing. In addition, micro-machining of silicon and not suitable for medical implants best bio-compatible materials. Metrigraphics Division of DRC is dedicated to the electronics prototyping process production precision component of a company.

They produced many symbols were used for retinal implants, medical applications, also for implantable devices and external devices for data and power signal long-distance transmission.

"E-forming process is a price/performance ratio silicon process much more ancient craft.

"Metrigraphics company Vice President and General Manager of Randy Sablich pointed out that" we can be very small size make than silicon micromachining more precise greater structure and the structure better biological compatibility. ”

Us-made with QCT e skin allows the robot to produce tactile

United States MIT researchers say they successfully developed a robot can produce the feeling of "e-skin".

Rely on this kind of "e-skin", the robot can not only feel the location and orientation of objects, you can access information such as the hardness of the object.

According to reports, the system structure is simple and can be processed into a variety of shapes, like a garment is attached to the device surface.

The key point is that a technique known as quantum tunneling composites QCT. This material can be slight pressure and touch to measure and resistance values changes back to the circuit, this by a dimmer switch controls the brightness of the lamp.

And compared to previous similar material, QCT materials not only the hardness of the perceived object also can be detected objects hardness level.

In addition, with the XY scanning technology, the use of the robot also QCT technologies can be different (for example, forearm, shoulder and torso) comprehensive perception of information.

QCT is a metal active polymeric materials, metal or non metal scrap has.

This material can be varying degrees of pressure sensitive "translated" into the size of the current response, through which a large number of sensors allow the robot to produce soft, thick, "haptic". Because the QCT itself this unique performance, it can be made into various shapes and sizes of pressure sensitive switch. By screen printing of QCT material thickness can be thin to 75 microns.

QCT's operational power consumption is very low, the entire system without moving parts, you can contact directly with the objects without any air layer.

This makes it very reliable, and can be integrated into the super thin electronic equipment, also have very long operating life.

As technology evolves, the robot in the daily life of a growing, how to make robots to understand the sense of touch and in a limited space and interaction between humans and other items will become important.

The results of this study is expected to be quickly applied to MIT's robot project.

QCT technology has advanced in NASA's Robonaut robot projects received the application, its advanced sensor technology and the picker is leading in the world.

Researchers next goal is to make robot with human beings closer to the sense of touch and enhance its ability to interact with humans.

United States medical reform cake: who's who? (1) pie?

When the March 23, United States President Barack Obama in the White House for signing health insurance reform bill, the difficulty and high cost and worry about the United States one can start out this new reform what it means to them.

Benefit the poor, rich thin?

Beginning this year, a series of health care reform will be implemented, including insurers cannot refuse to history, "" abandoned "insurer of insurers, etc.

The new health reform is undoubtedly the greatest beneficiaries who cannot afford insurance.

Before the reform, the United States health care system is used primarily by commercial medical insurance and medical insurance. This two-part of the population respectively of the total population of 58% and 27%, while the remaining 15% (4600 million) is the inability to purchase insurance.

After the implementation of the new health reform, Medicare coverage will be from 85% to 95%.

Those who because of too heavy, or because they cannot afford additional medical costs insurance companies in your face of eating 3200 million United States, will benefit from this programme.

However, huge plans necessarily need high costs.

In the next 10 years, the United States Government is prepared to spend $ 9400 reforms, while the wealthy population increase taxation will become the main source of funding.

From another side, Medicare coverage expansion means that medical resources of dilution.

Rich people have access to the VIP-services may be gone. In health insurance coverage of up to 100% of the United Kingdom, many people will complain that override all "national health insurance system" allows hospital efficiency and service quality is greatly reduced.
