Healthcare IT News
This year was a fun one for futurists, sci-fi fans and health IT professionals fascinated by artificial intelligence, cognitive computing and machine learning. 2017, in fact, was packed with real-world AI applications amid incredible hype.
The excitement started building ahead of HIMSS17 in Orlando, Florida, and the show floor was abuzz with AI talk — much the way pop health dominated the discourse at HIMSS16 and HIMSS15 before that.

One of the first concerns an EMS provider should have about a patient with significant facial trauma is whether the patient has a patent airway and will be able to maintain that airway. Bleeding, soft tissue swelling, broken teeth and other fractures can all create partial or complete obstruction to the patient’s airway.

In behavioral research, it is notoriously difficult to measure authentic human behavior in the controlled setting of a laboratory. You typically have to fall back to observing minor movements, like bodily reactions, as substitutes – or you skip the human altogether and observe rodents instead. You can put rodents in situations you cannot put humans into and observe them in a controlled environment. But what you are then measuring is rodent behavior, and you cannot be sure that your findings are applicable to humans.

The United States Army has developed a computer-based simulator that can train everyone from teachers to first responders on how to react to an active shooter scenario. The Enhanced Dynamic Geo-Social Environment was originally designed to keep soldiers safe in a war situation, but is now being adapted for schools. The character of the shooter and the weaponry are changeable, and the screams of virtual victims are based on real events at schools, where teachers and children were murdered.

Avatars are a core element of ICSpace, the virtual fitness and movement environment at Bielefeld University's Cluster of Excellence Cognitive Interaction Technology. The system makes it possible to practice and improve motion sequences by providing individualized feedback in real time. The system is embodied by a virtual person acting as a coach. In addition, users see themselves as avatars — virtual copies of themselves in the mirror of the virtual room.

When studying diseases or testing potential drug therapies, researchers usually turn to cultured cells on Petri dishes or experiments with lab animals, but recently, researchers have been developing a different approach: small, organ-on-a-chip devices that mimic the functions of human organs, serving as potentially cheaper and more effective tools.
