Electronic medical records come to the iPhone
|
A developer of software that handles electronic medical records is using Enovia PLM from Dassault Systemes (of SolidWorks and Catia fame) as the backbone to a new tool that will let healthcare providers access patient information through an intuitive iPhone application, "Resonate." It can be downloaded from the iTunes App Store

Have you tried our World's Smartest Design Engineer game yet? Many of our readers play because it is fun. You can also win cool prizes — Kindles and such. The host of the game is an avatar of our Editor Lee Teschler.
He says had the game designers ever met him, they would have known he would be unlikely to utter the annoying phrases that continually come from his avatar when players submit wrong answers. He offers these alternatives:
-
That's the kind of pig-ignorant answer I’d expect from a bubblehead like you.
- Did you get your engineering degree by mail order?
- I've got a pair of shoes that knows more about this than you do.
- If your driving is as good as your engineering then the roads are a dangerous place to be.
- When it comes to engineering, you have a lot to be modest about.
- Humans only use about a tenth of their brain power. With you, it could be less.

The earliest form of recording data involved manually taking measurements, recording them to a written log, and plotting them on graph paper.
