Healthcare Input: mission impossible? Possible solutions

I was just about to write a post reviewing my Nokia 770 as an input device for study coordinators and investigators in clinical research, when I noticed a post in Colin Jervis' Future Health IT blog entitled Healthcare Input: mission impossible?. Colin sums up nicely some of the negative things I was about to write, including one or two that hadn't occurred to me. Ultimately, to my surprise, it made me more optimistic about devices like the Nokia 770 than I had been before I read his article.

"When The Long Tail Wags The Dog" - implications for health IT and the Nokia 770.

The entry When The Long Tail Wags The Dog on Dan Bricklin's Website takes a whole different view of "The Long Tail". Are there implications for health information technologies?

Light Blue Optics: miniature laser-driven holographic projectors

This from a comment on my Minority Report post: Light Blue Optics is demonstrating holographic laser projectors small enough to fit into bulkier PDAs and cell phones. LBO is looking for manufacturing partners to whom it can become an OEM supplier. It turns out someone "stole" my idea over a year ago at least. More power to them!

Minority Report

I saw  this entry in HealthNex which is actually a guest post by Doug Krell, MD. It talks about the future of healthcare IT from the perspective of thinking about what was in the movie Minority Report. It got me thinking too.
