NEW! IMSH Challenge Coins
Also for IMSH 2022, don't forget to order your IMSH Challenge Coins through IMSH Registration.
These coins — only $10! — highlight the location of IMSH each year and can be ordered through registration. Both in-person and virtual attendees may purchase them each year, but you'll want to hurry because we have a limited number of coins and when they're gone, they're GONE!
If you have any questions about the coins, Becca Fletcher, SSH Customer Service Coordinator, will be able to assist you. Here is a rendering of what they will look like.
Thank you, SSH Referrers!
Lastly, many thanks to all of the people who have referred members to us in the past month. There is no better endorsement for SSH membership and all of its benefits than referral from our members. You all see the value in our incredible SSH resources, events, leadership opportunities, and more, and nobody can share your experiences better than you.
So, thank you to:
Dr. Haru Okuda, Aleda Ealom, Amy Vermillion, Ana Cortez, Ashley Franklin, Barbara Ratliff, Brad Gable, Caroline Baek, David Shablak, Debra Brady, Demora McClave, Dr. Andrew Lam, Dr. Kosboth, Dr. Sheryl Pfeil, Erin Grahame, Jenny Rudolph, Jodi Kushner, Kasey Davis, Kristen Ng, Lawrence Wierzbowski, Maria Llorca, Mark Kempton and Rachel Hively, Magan Nowitzki, Mrs Sigrun Anna Qvindesland, Nidhip Patel, Phillip Smith, Pooja Nawathe, Russell Doerr, Soloman Sebt, Tracy VanOss

AI tool offers cure for scattered medical data
Venture Beat
A patient in the ER, ICU, and other care environments is often connected to monitoring equipment such as cardiac monitors or ventilators, which capture a range of medical data points: heart rate, respiratory rate, oxygen saturation levels, body temperature, and more. Studying these numbers over time can yield vital information about the body's physiological patterns indicating imminent deterioration such as cardiac arrests, respiratory depression, and stroke.

Scientists employ digital esophagus to battle Barrett's
Science Daily
A team has developed a digital tool to better monitor a condition known as Barrett's esophagus, which affects more than 3 million people in the United States. Barrett's occurs when the mucosal lining of the lower esophagus deteriorates, altering its cellular structure, and is most common in those with chronic acid reflux.

AR vs VR: Past, present and future
Tech News Inc.
Since the invention of video games, people have used the technology as a form of escape from life's pressures. From performing cool skateboard tricks to exploring space and shooting aliens, the possibilities are endless with a controller in your hand or a mouse at your fingertips. Both virtual and augmented reality technology have enhanced these possibilities even further, but what are they? And, with this technology improving and becoming more readily available, what does the future hold for consumers?

Why the healthcare industry should experiment with VR in the COVID era
MedCity News
VR adoption is being stifled by the medical field's scientific mindset, where a raft of clinical trials are first expected before adoption is even considered. This is of course an extremely valid consideration in the operating and treating stages, but can be limiting when over-broadly applied to the entire life cycle of the patient experience.

When doctors become too reliant on AI
The Wall Street Journal
Using electronic medical records and artificial intelligence to create algorithms for healthcare applications would be great if our electronic records were correct. Sadly, when carefully reviewed by patients, many records are discovered to be full of erroneous information and incorrect diagnoses.

ECU med students participate in mass casualty simulation
WNCT-TV
A special event at East Carolina University gave medical students a chance to practice skills in a live-action scenario. At the Brody School of Medicine, students participated in a mass casualty simulation. Actors and makeup artists helped to create a lifelike boiler room explosion where med students then applied their skills in the seemingly real-life situation.

How digital twins could transform healthcare
Raconteur
Digital twins could have life-changing effects, impacting everything from clinical trials to bed management. However, there are challenges ahead for the virtual technology. Digital twins are well known in engineering and manufacturing. However, scientists are now deploying the technology in the medical realm, modelling the effectiveness of existing drugs against new diseases.

How VR technology can be of help to surgeons
Qrius
The healthcare industry requires constant development and innovation. One of the notable cases at the intersection of medicine and IT is the use of software with VR and AR by doctors to cope with their professional tasks. These technologies have acquired particular relevance over the past year. We'll share how robots teach doctors, assist in performing surgeries, and how surgeons use VR in practice.
