Fitting a Smartphone in Your Mouth…


Let’s end the week with a video that serves as an excellent reminder why most of us got involved in HC IT in the first place – helping people to become and stay healthy.


I love the new technology aspect in this video – utilising Smartphone technology within mouth guards for American football players. After an on-pitch collision instant information about the force of impact, and likely effect on the brain is transmitted to a pitch side computer allowing instant analysis of likely concussions and brain damage.

Fascinating stuff…

Have a search on YouTube – a lot of these Cleveland Clinic videos are well worth a watch.

It’s also interesting to have a browse through their website – very accessible in relation to patients and their EHRs.
