New Research Seeks to Enhance Quality and Security of Wireless Telemedicine
A team of researchers led by Fei Hu, assistant professor of computer engineering at Rochester Institute of Technology, is working to advance the integration of radio frequency identification technology, also known as RFID, into cardiac sensor networks, a new wireless technology for telemedicine delivery. view more (2007-09-18)
Accidental wireless
Following a rollover automobile accident, driver and passengers are usually unable to call for help. So, unless the accident occurs on a busy road, rescue is unlikely to arrive in time to save them. view more (2009-02-10)
Tiny endoscopes bring medical costs down
Viewing actual images of patients' internal organs is more and more common in medical procedures. However, in many cases the treatment can be painful or uncomfortable, and high sterilisation costs can limit the procedure's use. IVP's prototypes aim to overcome such challenges. view more (2005-04-29)
