Biomark Health Case Study
“BioMark Health aims to answer the question of what led to, or contributed to a negative physical state. For the first phase a negative physical state will be classified as an epileptic seizure. By examining slight changes across multiple variables, ones that are already easily obtained, we can observe micro-changes which combined, create a pattern we can use to establish the convergence to a negative state. We are utilizing current off the shelf wearables, in-home environmental sensors, and many other easily collectable, or already collected data-points that can contribute to our pattern detection. Our system will be, in a sense, self training. All the work is triggered when a patient enters an event, this event can simply be, "I am not feeling

    After conducting a few surveys and collecting feedback, there are a few modifications that need to be made. One of the things that the feedback stated repeatedly is that the price of $100 is too much for this product. This can be fixed by lowering the cost gradually to $50. Those providing feedback also expressed concern that this product could be used to avoid going to the doctor or seeking other medical advice from those who are qualified. One thing that could help is having this device connecting online to network and alerting a doctor or hospital depending on the readout. A future addition that should be added based upon feedback would be a voice readout of the information collected. Also needed is a way to save that information to a computer so a doctor is able to review and compare the information to the current stats. These additions could help people to receive the medical care that they…

    Epilepsy is a common neurological disorder characterised by recurring seizures. Different types of epilepsy have different causes. Accurate estimates of incidence and prevalence are difficult to achieve because identifying people who may have epilepsy is difficult. Epilepsy has been estimated to affect between 362,000 and 415,000 people in England. In addition, there will be further individuals, estimated to be 5–30%, so amounting to up to another 124,500 people, who have been diagnosed with epilepsy, but in whom the diagnosis is incorrect. (NICE CG)…

    The United Nations predicts that by the year 2050, 22% of the global population will be aged 60 years or over, from current 11.2% (2011). This ageing population has brought about multiple challenges and opportunities to the healthcare industry. One of these challenges is fall and injury prevention of the aged in hospitals, care facilities, as well as home settings. The Fallarm project is to develop a technology which can prevent and detect accidental falls, keep the person informed about the risks while they are moving around, and also inform the hospital care team, or the family members in case of an event. A wristband to be worn in the wrist will provide the inputs to the system. The sensors in this band will monitor and record the movement and activities of the person, while keeping the person informed of his risk status at all times. The sensors will also detect a fall and report it to the care team so that appropriate action can be taken to minimize the impacts of the fall. The system will continuously update itself based on the data from the sensor and will maintain a risk profile, mobility patterns, adverse events record of its users. This historical data in turn will be provided to the sensors to more accurately identify and prevent a fall. The idea is to enable…

    There are many high-priority health issues otherwise known as Leading Health Indicators (LHIs) selected by the Healthy People initiative to improve the health of all Americans (U.S. Department of Health and Human Services [DHHS] (2017a). These LHIs encompass every aspect of a person’s life from pre-conception through old age along with actions that can be taken to help the Healthy People initiative attain their set goals. The public health topic that I have chosen to discuss is substance abuse in the perinatal period. This interest falls under the Maternal, Infant, and Child Health (MICH) topic, specifically MICH-11.4 Increase abstinence from alcohol, cigarettes, and illicit drugs among pregnant women which also corresponds with MICH-8.1 Reduce low birth weight (LBW) and…

    The main attribute in the incorporation of genomics into medical care is the fact that it is completely personalized patient care. Individualized care is what is best for the patient, because interventions will be based on evidence that comes from the patients own DNA. Genetic counseling is also important in patient care, because the patient must know what to expect; included would be emotional support and counseling on possible lifestyle changes they may need to make (depending on results of tests). Once the results of genetic tests are identified, it is up to the healthcare team to help the client consider and apply necessary interventions (i.e. lifestyle changes). The Personalized Health Care Initiative, instituted by the U.S.…

    Electronic Health Records (also known as EHR’s) are the portions of a patient’s medical records that are stored in a computer system as well as the functional benefits derived from having an electronic health record. They are also called or known as electronic medical records, and electronic charts (Gartee, P. 311) EHR’s were first invented nearly 50 years ago. Since being invented, EHR’s have made entering and seeking medical information easier and faster for both doctors and nurses.…
