Shownotes:
Today’s show was shot on Saturday during my presentation at the Leadership Symposium on Digital Media in Healthcare. It was hosted by USF Health, in conjunction with Apple. Since the conference had a medical theme, this Brief is Shiny, Happy Medical News.
The iPill is designed to help patients take smaller dosages of medicine, to reduce side effects, by targeting the right part of the body.
GlucoBoy was developed by a father whose son has diabities and kept loosing his glucose monitor. The game works on Game Boy Advance and DS Lite.
When Dr. Jay Parkinson finished his residency, he decided to practice a bit differently than most physicians. He chose to make house calls via a webcam.
Scientists have regrown an entire lost finger, including the fingernail. It also works on internal organs, such as livers.

Cool theming and good stories from a strictly tech geek angle as well. And finally, evidence that you do occasionally need to take a breath! :)

That was pretty fast !
BTW, you could have mentioned Google Health. Its a great way to maintain and organize digital copies of Medical tests. It also allows users to have Medical contacts like Address of a Family doctor.

Was it recorded in a bathroom? Tons of reverb.
Interesting stuff, but the audio needs work.
Any details on the iPill’s radio? Zigbee maybe?

No, I was speaking to an audience of 200 people in a large hall. Shooting the show was part of the presentation I mentioned (see above).

Great job, Cali and Neal! I for one don’t think it sounds horrible at all and I think you did a fantastic job in front of a huge audience! That’s no easy task!

Great presentation. Although not in Health Care as a scientist (at least formerly) I can certainly appreciate the polymer bridges to rebuild tissue and some organs. Safe travels home
