  • Remote Monitoring: This is a stream of news, articles and products that pertain to the overall topic of sensor-based remote monitoring in healthcare.
  • HIT OrgSoup: Ever since HIPAA made the headlines and took effect in 2001, the Healthcare IT industry started going crazy with multiple niche organizations, alliances, societies, and other forms of aggregation in every nook and cranny of the field. Government helped too, by creating multiple committees and sponsoring niche offices. It's gotten to a point where I am positive that putting all these in one place will be hilarious. Hence this project.
  • Advanced Analytics: Advanced Analytics is a forward-looking style of information analysis where skills, tools, and technologies are focused on continuous and iterative investigation of past performance to drive business planning and estimate future performance. Predictive modeling is perhaps the most widley recognized technique in this category, but there are others. This list contains information around Advanced Analytics news, resources and offerings.
  • Consumerism Trends: These are buzzwords mostly. A collection of terms that didn't exist in Healthcare IT till recently. Some make sense, some dont. But all of them are fascinating because each points to a distinct 'micro-pattern' that is emerging in some way.
    • Self-referral (eg. iTriage)
    • Self-aggregation (eg. CureTogether)
    • Self-policing (eg. wikipedia)
    • Self-selection (eg. TrialX, Li trial on PatientsLikeMe)
  • Hardware Platforms: Some major players have put forth computing devices with healthcare focus. These are various form factors (smartphones, tablets, etc) that are built to withstand bumps, disinfection, spills etc.
