Cloud Computing

Intrusion detection and prevention tools carry a range of features from forensics to pattern matching. Here's a look at the most important capabilities to beware of before buying a new system. 

Cedars Sinai Medical Center will begin to use virtual reality technology from Applied VR, in hopes of easing patients' pain with without use of drugs.

X Prize CEO Marcus Shingles said the idea is to use AI to solve the world’s hardest challenges, including those in healthcare.  

The supercomputer will be used to mine insights from ‘previously invisible’ unstructured imaging data and combine it with other information to make personalized care decisions that also impact broader patient populations.

The research also found that 55 percent of healthcare organizations have already moved Tier 1 applications to a cloud. But security and orchestration remain as significant obstacles.

The companies announced the collaboration today at the Healthcare IT News Big Data and Healthcare Analytics Forum in San Francisco.

The move would empower patients to control their own data, according to Ricky Bloomfield, MD, of Duke Health, and help eradicate the tradition of paternalism in medicine.

The cloud-based service, dubbed myAva, can be used to analyze biometric, genomic, molecular and patient-generated data to create digital profiles of patients that inform care plans.

U.S. Federal Trade Commission said that the cloud-based electronic health record vendor misled patients into sharing sensitive medical without knowing it could be posted in a public-facing provider directory.  

Startup intends to use the funding to scale its EHR-agnostic cloud-based service and analytics for helping doctors determine the best treatment options for patients.
