What is IT?
What is IT?• Information Technology• Computers• Internet• Databases • Search• Websites• Mobile• Communications• Artificial Intelligence • Cloud Computing• Wearables:
• Google glass/Apple watch
IT Marriage
• Convergence of:• Computers• Communications
• Moore’s law• Network Effects• Exponential growth
Computers
• Computational Power• Speed• Cost• Storage• Programs• Apps• GUIs• Sensors• Moore’s law
Communications• Claude Shannon
– Communications Theory– Representation as data
• Telephony• Radio• Broadcast• Cellular• Internet• Web• Wi-fi• Mobile
Network Effects
• Metcalfe's law states that the value of a telecommunications network is proportional to the square of the number of connected users of the system.
• "compatible communicating devices"

Medical Records and Informatics
Electronic Medical Records EMR
Google Glass in Boston• The medical community has been quick to
embrace Glass. Hospitals and doctors across the US have been testing it to conduct remote consultations with specialists, for example, record live-videos during surgery for instruction, or provide quick access to patients’ charts, vital stats, doctors’ notes and other medical information--all without having to use their hands to operate a computer.

Patient Risk Management
• Help, or at least do no harm.– Hippocrates
• Toxicity• Only dose makes the
poison• How medications
interact
Telemedicine
• Remote Areas• Access to Experts and
Specialists• Emergency Care• Expert Systems• AI

The Quantified SelfA movement to incorporate technology into data acquisition on aspects of a person's daily life in terms of inputs (e.g. food consumed, quality of surrounding air), states (e.g. mood, arousal, blood oxygen levels), and performance (mental and physical). Such self-monitoring and self-sensing, which combines wearable sensors (EEG, ECG, video, etc.) and wearable computing

Future of Medicine
Arthur C. Clarke
• One of [science-fiction author] Arthur C. Clarke’s laws is that any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.
IT and technology
• Technology is putting more power in the hands of patients, and researchers are learning to combat disorders by harnessing the body's own ability to heal and grow.

X Prize• Envision a future where everyone has access to
affordable, personalized healthcare through sophisticated sensing technologies that put you in charge of your own health. Where sensors and devices recognize and measure your personal health information, provide insights and recommendations relevant to you and communicate that information to your physician. That’s the aim of this competition: a whole new level of personalized, digital health information.

Brain Mapping Project
• The BRAIN Initiative (Brain Research through Advancing Innovative Neurotechnologies, also referred to as the Brain Activity Map Project) is a proposed collaborative research initiative announced by the Obama administration on April 2, 2013, with the goal of mapping the activity of every neuron in the human brain. Based upon the Human Genome Project, the initiative has been projected to cost more than $300 million per year for ten years
Light Switch for Neurons
• https://www.ted.com/talks/ed_boyden• Ed Boyden shows how, by inserting genes for
light-sensitive proteins into brain cells, he can selectively activate or de-activate specific neurons with fiber-optic implants. With this unprecedented level of control, he's managed to cure mice of analogs of PTSD and certain forms of blindness.
