Google 10 to the 100 submission - Viesansfil
Wish me luck as today I submitted an entrant in the Google 10 to the 100 initiative. I had this idea drafted as a Technical Writing project at MSOE. Why let it go to waste right?
Viesansfil,is a proposed new medical tool which would be comprised of an online database (DB) and a Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tag. The RFID tag would be issued to patients in two forms, either an implanted chip under the patient’s skin or in a traditional medical bracelet form. This RFID tag would hold critical information about this patient that can be read by any medical staff within 4 meters. With the online DB being managed by the collective medical profession, this DB could avert overdosing issues, misdiagnosis due to efforts made by other physicians, or other administrative errors. Populated in the patients database would be medical data like allergies, family history, and previous incidents. With either scanning the RFID or checking the online DB, any medical practitioner is able to quickly see all data related to this patient, for example; If a patient were to be admitted to the hospital unconscious, the hospital staff can scan the patient’s tag, find that him/her has an allergy to latex and who to contact in case of emergencies. This is critical data that can follow the patient everywhere. Further advances to the RFID tag would be to communicate its info to other wireless haptic devices within RFID range (e.g. RFID tagged heart monitor, RFID enabled mobile phones for real-time communication with physicians or database).
