| FROM THE DESK OF THE DIRECTOR OF MEETINGS AND EXHIBITS |
Very shortly, those in our industry database will receive information on exhibiting at SimOps 2019, July 17-19. The conference will be at Eastern Virginia Medical School (EVMS) in beautiful and historic Norfolk, Virginia, and is expected to attract upwards of 300 SimOps professionals. More than 20 exhibitors are expected to participate as an integral part of the educational experience.
In preparing the SimOps information, I thought about industry and our exhibitors, where we’ve been, where we are and where we anticipate growing. I felt this would be an excellent time to review all the avenues available to industry within SSH.
So, just where does industry fit into SSH and what is available?
Often, in many associations, industry is and often thought of only in terms of exhibiting. I am proud to say the role of industry in SSH reaches far beyond exhibiting. Industry partners have a voice within SSH, a seat on the Board of Directors and are sought out for their insight and experience.
Reflecting … it all began in early 2009 when a small group of exhibitors and SSH leaders met in a conference room and explored the answer to: “How do we turn an ‘us and them’ into a ‘we’?” From that meeting came the birth of the Corporate Council (now called Corporate Roundtable). Up until that time, exhibiting at IMSH was the only avenue for industry to interact with professionals within the SSH simulation community. An early Corporate Council membership of less than 10 has grown into a vibrant today grown to a vibrant committee of 30 members committed to healthcare simulation and viewed as integral partners with the SSH, providing additional perspective and insight on the rapidly changing science of medical simulation.
How to be involved:
- Exhibit at IMSH and SimOps;
- Attend courses and sessions;
- Submit an abstract for programming consideration;
- Host non-accredited workshops at SimOps;
- Join the Corporate Roundtable. Members have exclusive opportunity to host a Learning Lab at
- IMSH and exclusive right to submit articles to Simulation Spotlight. Industry members also serve on the Media and Communications Committee.
- Sponsor and support one of the many opportunities available at:
- IMSH Annual Meetings
- SimOps Conferences
- INACSL Workshops
- Women in Leadership Conference
We invite and welcome you to participate in one or several events and look forward to seeing you at future SSH programs. Any questions or comments? We can be reached at: exhibits@ssih.org ~ Judy Larson

AI in Healthcare
A multitude of recent studies and success stories suggest artificial intelligence is on its way to topping doctors in accurately diagnosing diseases from asthma to breast cancer — seemingly a step in the right direction. But does the hype surrounding AI’s victories eclipse its shortcomings? A Wired reporter argued that might be the case in a recent editorial focused on the fallout of a New York Times article suggesting AI could be used as a physician aid for diagnosing some conditions. The article drew from a Nature paper that found a certain AI software package was more accurate than physicians in diagnosing asthma and gastrointestinal disease, but the Times article failed to mention where the technology fell short.

Researchers from the Stanford University School of Medicine presented preliminary results of the Apple Heart Study, an unprecedented virtual study with over 400,000 enrolled participants. The researchers reported that wearable technology can safely identify heart rate irregularities that subsequent testing confirmed to be atrial fibrillation, a leading cause of stroke and hospitalization in the U.S. The study was launched with sponsorship by Apple Inc. in November 2017 to determine whether a mobile app that uses data from a heart-rate pulse sensor on the Apple Watch can identify atrial fibrillation. The condition often remains hidden because many people don’t experience symptoms.

The healthcare sector is uniquely vulnerable to phishing attacks, due to high employee turnover and influx of new employees who may lack previous cybersecurity training, according to a new report published in the Journal of the American Medical Association. Dr. William Gordon, of Harvard Medical School and Boston’s Brigham and Women’s Hospital led a team of researchers to determine whether healthcare was more susceptible to phishing campaigns than other sectors, by studying six diverse healthcare organizations from 2011 to 2018.

Medical practice requires more and more interpretation of digital images. Human experts are expensive, error prone and get tired. Recent developments in image recognition, in particular through 'deep learning', have shown that computers can extract more information from images and are sometimes more reliable than people due to their increased accuracy. However, image recognition has mainly focused on everyday images such as those that can be found on Instagram and YouTube. 'Adapting and further developing image recognition to the characteristics of medical images is an important challenge for the AIM Lab', says Cees Snoek, one of the scientific directors of the AIM Lab. 'From a technical perspective, work will be done on fundamental and relatively general AI models and algorithms that can be applied to specific diseases.'

Building robots that can help people with dementia has been a longtime goal for roboticists. Yet until now, no one has sought to survey informal caregivers, such as family members, about what characteristics and roles these robots should have. A team of scientists at the University of California San Diego sought to address this by spending six months co-designing robots with family members, social workers and other caregivers who care for people with dementia. They are presenting their findings at the Human Robot Interaction conference in South Korea. Researchers found that caregivers wanted the robots to fulfill two major roles: support positive moments shared by caregivers and their loved ones; and lessen caregivers' emotional stress by taking on difficult tasks, such as answering repeated questions and restricting unhealthy food.

Family physicians as well as medical students appreciate the opportunity to bone up on radiology via online classrooms using the popular Second Life platform. And while doctors tend to immerse themselves in the process with somewhat lower intensity, reflected as less doc-to-doc interaction, all seem to readily take to radiology training with avatars and other features of the virtual world — even when they’ve had no prior exposure to Second Life. That’s what researchers found at University of Málaga in Spain when they presented a three-week course on general radiology in Second Life during a four-month course. The trainees included 14 family physicians who volunteered for the project and 48 students in their third year of medical school.

At approximately 2:05 pm on March 23, 2018, the first death occurred. The victim was just 14 years old, a student at Sarasota Military Academy Prep in Florida. He had a rasping cough and spiked a fever, and soon became so weak that he had to be taken out on a stretcher as classmates looked on in terror. Stunned teachers tried to allay the students’ fears, but two more students soon fell ill, and chaos overcame the school. In less than two hours, nearly 100 students became infected with an unknown pathogen. With every passing minute, the scene deteriorated as health workers were overburdened by the sick.
