Informatics: HIMSS10 Aprima

2010-06-05T16:55:19.097Z

Michael Nissenbaum, CEO of Aprima and Dr. Eric Fishman speak about the Aprima product line at HIMSS10. Currently, there are over 2,200 providers using the Aprima EHR/PM product. Mr. Nissenbaum reviews the history of Aprima, and its target market that is mostly 1-10 physician practices. Mr. Nissenbaum further discusses the Aprima EHR, which is not template based, but rather based on speed and usability. It was built at Stanford University using the input and direction of 18 physicians. The product is unique in that it is chief complaint driven, with 400,000 relevant terms.

Mr. Nissenbaum and Dr. Fishman talk about Aprimas connectivity with different technologies, such as the new Patient Portal, Patient Kiosk, Speech Recognition, dictation, etc. The discussion closes with Mr. Nissenbaums projections for the EHR market in 2010, and affirmations that Aprima is well positioned to remain a strong industry leader.

Innovation: The Innovation Economy: R&D and a Crisis

2009-09-02T07:12:16.905Z

Speakers:
Josephine M. Cheng, IBM Fellow & Vice President, IBM Almaden Research Center

A healthy economy is always driven by innovation—by big, new ideas. In todays economic crisis, a game-changing breakthrough couldnt come at a better time.

The big new ideas since the 1970s—such as the personal computer, networking, the Internet, and the Web—came from projects supported by government, corporate research and development funding, and venture capitalists. But over the past few years, hundreds of billions have been poured into biotech and IT, with no clear payoff as of yet. Now corporations are cutting back on R&D budgets, venture capitalists are turning cautious, and its not yet clear the role that government is prepared to play.

Has there been an innovation drought, or are the breakthroughs still to come? Will corporate support for R&D dwindle, and how will it affect our ability to innovate in Silicon Valley and in the US? Is the trend to conduct R&D outside the U.S., where it is less expensive, inevitable and the right thing to do? What is the role of government in stimulating R&D? And what will be the new technology that drives the next boom?

Come and hear some of the most distinguished industry insiders examine innovation and R&D today and tomorrow in Silicon Valley, the nation, and the world.

Robotics: "Rebuilt: How Becoming Part Computer Made Me More Human"

2009-06-20T14:30:35.852Z

Author Michael Chorost visits Google's headquarters in Mountain View, CA, to discuss his book "Rebuilt: How Becoming Part Computer Made Me More Human". This event took place on June 30, 2008, as a part of of the Authors@google series.

Michael Chorost became a cyborg on October 1, 2001, the day his new ear was booted up. Born hard of hearing in 1964, he went completely deaf in his thirties. Rather than live in silence, he chose to have a computer surgically embedded in his skull to artificially restore his hearing. This is the story of Chorost's journey -- from deafness to hearing, from human to cyborg -- and how it transformed him. The melding of silicon and flesh has long been the stuff of science fiction. But as Chorost reveals in this witty, poignant, and illuminating memoir, fantasy is now giving way to reality.

Michael Chorost has a B.A. from Brown University and a Ph.D. from the University of Texas at Austin. He lives in San Francisco, where he writes, teaches, and consults.
