I have posted about Windows Tag and their potential use for identifying recalled medical device and their use with keeping a lid on drugs too, but the FDA won’t 
even give me an answer. Read the link below for a rather lengthy post I did on the suggestion. This is free and has the potential of saving lives so I guess it’s easier to let folks die than to maybe open up a level of curiosity here? If you want to get the full picture on some of this information, read the links for more. Yes I am on the case here for the use of this technology in healthcare and will keep blasting it at every opportunity I have. Take time and read the links here if you can and it will create a better understanding of what the potential is here.
Tags for Use in Healthcare – Medical Stents, Medications - One Scan Away From Safety Information in Real Time
Does it not make sense to scan a device, medication, etc. before use. I addressed the medical devices as there is no way to really stay on top of this, even hospitals that have registries may miss pulling one off the shelf unintentionally! If you scan the Tag on the package of the device, like a stent, you know right on the spot, and heck with all the cell phones out there, and the fact that this is free, there is certainly no shortage of phones around to scan!! It’s just a matter of creating interest for a human application in a world of “tech denial” individuals who have low levels of curiosity, which has been stated in studies, leads to a lower level of intelligence, get it?
Tracking Medical Device Recalls – Sounds Like A Good Place for a Microsoft Tag Data Base at the FDA
Recently in the news Microsoft employees will have a pilot program to try out getting their EOBs in HealthVault too.
Microsoft Employees Using HealthVault Will Receive EOB (Benefit Statements) From Premera Blue Cross
Ok so you have used your phone to access your EOB but want a larger view, take it over to a Surface Computer and have a look, move it around,etc.-the frog dressed up in EOB clothing (grin).
When you see the second video, this is what is going on with the frog. Now keep in mind with healthcare information these tags will be encrypted and will require authentication to view, unlike the frog. You can read more at the link below to see how HeatlhVault, Google Health and Dossia are working with this technology.
RazCode/Windows Tags – Bar Coding to Add Information to PHRs, EHRs, and More…
Of course everybody does not have a Surface Tablet sitting around to do this, but information from a paper article or something other article can use your cell phone as the vehicle to transport, and then when you open your PHR on your computer, there it is, securely filed away where it should be in your PHR.
Watch what happens to the frog here, you really need to watch both videos to grasp the concept I think.
This video was done in France so there’s part of it you may not understand but the visual says all. I welcome any and all comments or questions too! Again, I see this as an opportunity to save lives by embracing some very easy and simple to use, and free technology. BD
