Simulation in Healthcare. MedModel Home - Medical Software - Simulation Software for the Health Care Industry. MedModel provides engineers and managers the opportunity to test new ideas for system design or improvement before committing the time and resources necessary to build or alter the actual system.
MedModel focuses on issues such as resource utilization, system capacity, and capability. By modeling the important elements of a health care system, the model builder can experiment with different operating strategies and designs to achieve the best results. Typical applications of MedModel include: Department specific productivity improvement Facilities design (labs, clinics, radiology, ER's, OR's, etc.) Planning for future changes Staff planning Analyzing patient capacity Equipment planning and logistical analysis Evaluate the impact of HIPAA, JCAHO and other changes Emergency preparedness Bed capacity management Health care policy formulation Managed care analysis MedModel Customers Carilion Health System, Dana Farber Harvard Cancer Center, St.
Make Better Decisions Faster. General Purpose Simulation Software. The need for healthcare simulation - Software - Executive Healthcare Management. Corel Corp. has a reputation for filling its product boxes with a grab bag of utilities, special features, and add-ons like fonts and clip art.
Print House 1.1 nimbly toes the company line with a wealth of design tools and all the extras you could ever need to create nearly two-dozen types of projects. The riches include more than 1,000 professionally designed templates you can modify, 5,000 pieces of clip art, 1,000 photographs, 100 fonts, numerous borders, a database of attention-getting phrases, and eye-catching backdrops. The package even provides a TWAIN-compliant scanner module for capturing images directly, and a version of Netscape Navigator. Moreover, Print House is the only product we looked at that was available for both the Windows and Macintosh platforms. As desktop publishing programs go, though, the $59 Print House has more in common with Broderbund’s Print Shop than with the same vendor’s Print Shop PressWriter. All this handholding is optional, however.
Will Mommy Tummy 8.0 simulator help guys get it? Every once in a while a hilarious idea is actually well executed.
Mommy Tummy 8.0 out of the Kanagawa Institute of Technology in Japan is looking to be one of those. The idea is that a pregnancy simulator might help a dude (or a lady who has yet to experience the joys of pregnancy) better empathize with pregnant women. Even setting aside the obvious issue that the simulator wearer is not experiencing hormonal changes, and that he can take the simulator off at any point (oh, the freedom), there is something downright bizarre about a man who appears to be pregnant. (See video below.) Get past the oddity and the Mommy Tummy 8.0 is actually an impressive little (and then rather suddenly big) gadget. The air actuator is made of little balloons that inflate and deflate at random to simulate a kicking fetus, while the balloons placed in front of the chest area simulate breast development. The Future of Personalized Medicine. Take a moment to imagine what it would be like to live robustly to the ripe old age of 100 or more.
You wouldn't die of any particular illness, and you wouldn't gradually waste away under the spell of some awful, enfeebling disease that began years or decades earlier. It may sound far-fetched, but it is possible to live a long, disease-free life. Most of the conditions that kill us, including cancer and heart disease, could be prevented or delayed by a new way of looking at and treating health. The end of illness is near. Today, we mostly wait for the body to break before we treat it. I see them being able to monitor and adjust their health in real time with the help of smartphones, wearable gadgets—perhaps like small, invisible stickers—to track the inner workings of their cells, and virtual replicas of their bodies that they will play much like videogames, allowing them to know exactly what they can do to optimize every aspect of their health. We can do better. —Dr. Most Recent Additions.
“8 Tips for Measuring the Impact of Serious Games” Serious games are great!
When you play them, the good ones (!!) , you get the feeling that they are a breakthrough in learning. They “feel” like they are doing much more than traditional teaching and training approaches have done in the past. You think, “Everyone should be learning through games and they will replace textbooks in the classroom and brochures in the doctor’s office!” But that is not enough. Games are expensive to make, they come in all different levels of quality, and sometimes when you hear that a martian on an imaginary planet is teaching kids how to become successful entrepreneurs, you have to wonder if they really “work.”
But because serious games seem to have an impact beyond the outcomes we have traditionally measured in training and teaching, this often means that we have to be smart, thoughtful and innovative to do a good job of measuring what they can do. Get your brain power-up because here are some tips about how to go about measuring what serious games can do. Games & Simulation for Healthcare.
