Medical Information on Cell Phone: For emergency use

admin — Mon, 03 May 2010 10:38:07 +0000

Cell phone technology is advancing every year and in today’s culture, it is almost taboo to leave the house with out it. More features are being added to cell phones such as text messaging, email, pictures, and video. One area that cell phones have yet to incorporate is medical information. We propose that by adding a way to access specific medical information in the event of an emergency, the chances of survival will increase. To make our system the the most user friendly, we used focused on specific usability factors (Nielson,1993) along with incorporating the users mental model (Norman, 1986) With regard speed of retrieval given access options, scroll or number selection, we did not find any significant difference between the two types. We also tested the amount of instruction needed to complete each task. That is, we allowed them to have the instructions available if they did not know what to do. The amount of instruction needed would be used to determine the usability of our system.

Sixteen Slice PET-CT Imaging at Windber Medical Center

admin — Fri, 23 Apr 2010 07:21:14 +0000

http://www.windbercare.com – Through our partnership with GE Healthcare, Windber Medical Center is one of the first sites in the U.S. to deploy true sixteen-slice PET-CT imaging.
Windber Medical center’s capabilities now combine the fastest and most sophisticated CT technology with the most advanced PET technology — all in a single exam. Together, a PET/CT scan allows physicians to view metabolic activity and pinpoint where abnormalities are located so that they may target the disease.
Patient Benefits:
* The potential of diagnostic confidence for patients suspected to have cancer, and those who already have the disease.
* Potential reduction of invasive procedures such as biopsies and unnecessary surgeries.
* Reduction in exam time. For example, patient results can be obtained in less than one hour rather than in one day or more using previous, separate technologies.
* Greater peace of mind for patients and their families, knowing that this technology provides comprehensive information. This technology also eliminates a “wait and see” approach, commonly used to monitor the patient during post-treatment, and sometimes even used during the actual therapy and treatment phase.
* Increased patient comfort due to the shorter exam time and, as a result, less time spent on the table.

NOTE: Windber Medical Center is no longer affiliated with the Conemaugh Health System. Our WindberCare videos are currently being updated to reflect this change.
