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...

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.

Moving the Industry Forward with First-Of-Its-Kind RCM Technology Adoption Model for Healthcare Finance Leaders
An adoption model methodology is nothing new in the healthcare industry. HIMSS, for example, built their Healthcare Maturity Models to provide clear adoption and implementation pathways for various technologies and capabilities that health systems need. What the market had been lacking, however, is a tried-and-true framework that could address the revenue cycle management needs of healthcare finance leaders. Adoption models, which are very popular in computing and organizational change, define stages for the adoption of a process or technology and helps organizations determine which stage they’re at: piloting, early adop...

A Look at the Nobi Smart Lamp
One of the cool products we saw a demo of at the HIMSS conference this year was the Nobi smart lamp. Roeland Pelgrims, CEO at Nobi, took the time to demo the smart lamp to us and tell us more about what makes the Nobi smart lamp special. Pelgrims shared that the goal of Nobi is to empower older adults. That’s why they believed that smart technologies like the Nobi smart lamp must be hidden and designed for life. He suggested that Nobi is “Clark Kent” 99% of the time and only has to be “Superman” 1% of the time. What helps Nobi be superman is its ability to do fall detection, fall preve...
