Social Isolation: A Broader View
The previous articles in this series explain how technology is being used to bring people out of social isolation. But sometimes, loneliness springs from other mental conditions, such as anxiety and depression. Targeting these problems can help bring the patient back into a community.
Treating Psychological Conditions
One of subtler negative effects of moving online is that people lose the small, casual social interactions that previously would buoy their spirits and leave them smiling: asking for help from the post office staff, chatting with cashiers while bagging purchases, greeting people in the elevator, etc. The mi...

Dr. Temi, The Autonomous Robot Will See You Now
It seems we’re just at the start of robots in healthcare. We see them moving around supplies. We see robots working in the pharmacy. Plus, we have a long list of robots doing virtual tasks. When I came across the Dr. Temi robot, it was the first application of an autonomous robot to assist nurses and doctors that I’d seen.
At the HIMSS annual conference, we sat down with Yaron Yoels, CMO at Temi Robot, to learn more about Dr. Temi, an autonomous robot for patient care. What’s cool about this robot is that it doesn’t need a nurse to get to the bedside. The robot can go to the room request...

Microsoft CEO Sees Generative AI as Transformative as Relational Databases
At Epic’s 2023 User Group Meeting (#epicugm), Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella and Sumit Rana, Senior Vice President at Epic sat down for a one-on-one conversation about generative AI. Their conversation was fascinating on two levels. First, it was surprising that they did not speak to the deeper partnership between the two companies that was announced in the hours ahead of their time on stage. Second, was the blink-and-you-missed-it difference between how the two men view generative AI.

All-in-One Medical Graphic Stations and Tablets from DT Research
At the HIMSS conference, one of the most interesting technologies we saw was the wide variety of high end, computers, tablets, and monitors that were made available. In many surgeries, they need a solution that provides them the high end graphics and computing that’s needed to ensure they can precisely see what’s happening with the surgery.
At the conference, we had a chance to learn about some of these products from Robert Droppa, General Manager, Government & Healthcare Solutions at DT Research. Along with offering purpose built tablets and monitors for healthcare, Droppa talked to us about the DT Re...

The struggle of a computer-based doctor
I saw shocking photos from Northern Italy and New York City, reviewed my life insurance, and thought about my three kids. I didn’t chicken out, but I thought about it long and hard as I sat, sipping tea through trembling lips, preparing—whatever that meant. In the end, I got COVID twice while working the frontlines.

What Are Practical Steps to Embrace the Messiness of Public-Private Collaboration in the Fight Against Botnets?
Botnets are networks of computers infected with malware that an attacker controls and uses to fulfill malicious cyber activities. Decisionmakers could incorporate a complex adaptive systems perspective to assess if their organization and immediate network, as well as the overall ecosystem, are adaptable and resilient enough to respond to botnet activities.
