  • SUNY HSC CareNet has been selected by HOST as their main test site
Recent NSF Workshop on "High Performance Computing and Communications in HealthCare" brought together roughly 20 researchers each from Computer Science and Medical Informatics
  • Report will be used by NSF in planning future research initiatives -- possibly in Collaboration with NLM(National Library of Medicine) and NIH
  • 4 Working groups covering databases (patient records) and Imaging (including robotics and telemedicine)
    • Fox led working Group on Database Structure and Searching (datamining)
Visible Human -- 14 Gigabyte database of "Adam" with better than 1 mm slices
  • Interesting for NYNET and Web Servers as Internet too slow for such a large database to be viewed interactively
