Why Hospitals Still Struggle to Sell Telehealth

Telehealth stands among the healthcare industry's few technology success stories. It brings virtual care to underserved or remote locations. It gives facilities an opportunity to export expertise or, conversely, outsource costly operations. It cuts costs for healthcare systems as well as patients.For many in healthcare, though, telehealth remains a hard sell. It's an innovation in an industry that's not used to disruption. It requires technology infrastructure upgrades that carry a hefty price tag or, in the case of broadband, rely on federal action. It disrupts workflows. It raises questions about licensing and reimbursement that are hard to answer amid changing business models.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here READ MORE

Amazon Fire dubbed an 'experiment in e-commerce' with lessons for future phones

Amazon' first smartphone, the Amazon Fire, has been nothing but controversial.Panned initially by reviewers before its release a week ago, one expert said on Monday that Amazon's basic intent with the Fire is to field an initial device to mainly gather corporate insights on ways to sell more Amazon products online.MORE ON NETWORK WORLD: iPhoneys: Apple iPhone 6 concepts "If you view the Fire phone as an effort by Amazon to break into the phone market that then sells millions, this is not it," said Michael Mace, mobile strategist at an independent user testing group called UserTesting. "But if you view it as a long-term experiment to see what's needed to build e-commerce into a phone, then it's a really good experiment to help Amazon find out what's good and what it needs."To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here READ MORE

10 things you need to know about Microsoft's Surface Pro 3

Since the release of the first Surface nearly two years ago, Microsoft has been improving and revising its line of tablets. We tested a Surface Pro 3 that came with an Intel Core i5 processor, 8GB RAM, and 256 GB SSD. Microsoft also included a Type Cover -- the keyboard designed for this tablet that also serves as a protective cover, which is normally sold separately. Bottom line: The Surface Pro 3 is a beautifully designed machine that shows off the Windows 8.1 operating system. It's billed as a tablet, but I found myself preferring to use it as a notebook, a nifty ultraportable one -- and doing so through the Windows desktop environment.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here READ MORE

Coolest wearable technology: Robot suits for physical labor

Last year, Daewoo Shipbuilding and Engineering tested robotic suits that give workers superhuman strength to handle heavy objects at its facility in Okpo-dong, South Korea, according to a recent report in the New Scientist.In the tests, the suits made it easier for the workers to lift and carry 30 kilogram (slightly more than 66 pounds) objects, although the researchers told the New Scientists that the current target is to extend the capacity to 100-kilograms, slightly more than 220 pounds.Although the suits themselves weigh about 62 pounds, they're designed to anticipate and respond to the wearer's physical movements so they never feel like they're trying to move around in a massive exoskeleton. The prototype of the suit holds a three-hour battery life, which is already quite impressive – three hours of more efficient work with the heavy material could help open up much more time for the workers to complete their other tasks – and comes equipped with other tools for lifting and manipulating heavy objects.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here READ MORE

Chrome passes 20% share milestone, locks up 2nd place

Google's Chrome browser in July broke the 20% user share bar for the first time, according to data published Friday by Web measurement vendor Net Applications.But because the browser war is a zero-sum game, when Chrome won others had to lose. The biggest loser, as has been the case for the last year: Mozilla's Firefox, which came dangerously close to another milestone, but on the way down.Google Graveyard: Here's what Google has killed so far in 2014 Firefox accounted for 15.1% of the desktop and laptop personal computer browsers used in July, a low point not seen by the open-source application since October 2007, a year before Chrome debuted and when Microsoft's Internet Explorer (IE) was only on version 7.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here READ MORE
