Video of UCLA Mobile, Wireless System

Filed under: Informatics

Here's a great video about a wireless patient information retrieval system that was installed at the UCLA Medical Center:

Video of the Global Care Quest system @UCLA (for realplayer).

A highly placed source from UCLA tells Medgadget:

The application in use now at UCLA gives us the ability to review our CT and MRI scans immediately, on cellular smartphones, so that we can manage medical emergencies in the ER and in the ICU from anywhere, in real-time. The real-time view of the monitor data from our ICU lets us make critical care rounds remotely, anytime, anywhere.

For more information, see our post from October 2005: UCLA Medical Center Shreds Hospital Paper Chase; Goes Wireless.
