School Nurse - Web based patient record database with links to medical information (diagnosis, treatment) and 3 hierarchy levels:
  • 1) nurse terminals in schools, connected to
  • 2) nurse practitioner station at the SU Nursing College, connected to
  • 3) pediatrician station at SUNY HSC.
This is a Pilot project to prototype an instance of the telemedicine Bridge concept.
Home care terminals - Our initial project is a Web (Java/JavaScript) version of Warner's "neat thing" sensory front-end, with rehabilitation and disabilities as initial application target.
  • This builds on Warner's earlier activity in VR for which he is well known
This allows Doctors to interact with Patients at the Home with Instruments monitoring their health
  • In "neat thing" we also build a device to allow the disabled to access the Web as we can replace Mouse/Key board input with any measurable human signal
