My day job is in healthcare informatics in the UK. I'd love to see us making more stuff like this, but I think that it somewhere gets lost in all the bureaucracy.
We're currently diverting a lot of our considerable efforts on "interoperability", which will hopefully see this kind of thing take off over here.
The geek in me is still waiting for the Tricorder, of course: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tricorder http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tricorder
- mleverne 16y agoI was at HIMSS a few years back and there was a dictation device that hung around the neck of Physicians made by Vocera (http://www.vocera.com/products/b2000_badge.aspx http://www.vocera.com/products/b2000_badge.aspx). There was an easter egg in it, which when a user asked "Scotty, beam me up", it would make the transporter sound. It's a start.
