I've been woefully inattentive to Healthnex of late -- for good reasons, all related to other avenues of IBM innovation projects -- but thought this bit of news warranted cranking up a post, even if its just a pointer to a story. Why? I think it underscores IBM's commitment (one of the three core values around which the company is supposed to operate) ... innovation that matters, to the company and the world. That ideal, which I didn't fully appreciate when I first joined IBM four years ago, is, I think, much more than a slogan or a nice bit of PR. In fact, itcontinues to be one of the most compelling reasons to be at IBM: the opportunity to do work that can make a real difference in real lives.
The project will see a group of internationally recognized researchers, led by Dr. Carolyn McGregor, a UOIT associate professor and Canada Research Chair in Health Informatics, use advanced stream computing software developed by IBM Research to work toward greatly enhancing the decision-making capabilities of doctors. The software ingests a constant stream of biomedical data, such as heart rate and respiration, along with environmental data gathered from advanced sensors and more traditional monitoring equipment on and around the babies.
