Dr. Derek O’Keefe calls himself a Physicianeer. In this talk, Dr. O’Keefe describes how the fusion of engineering and medicine in one brain is not the future, but the preset. He describes a wide range of projects ranging from NASA to sports! For inquiries, comments and feedback reach-out at communications@snoor.ca
The healthcare cost in Canada has outgrown its generated economic growth rate, leaving us in a estimated $13 billion deficit [1][4]. Working in the hospital and seeing first-hand how despite of amazing technologies and solutions in the market, our patients still receive care in a sub-optimal workflows with sub-optimal technologies. My assessment is that this could […]
As a part of one of my Human Factors Engineering projects, I redesigned an ED tracking software. This is a step by step process that I followed to generate the final – optimized solution.
Entering the new era of evidence based medicine, one would require a great deal of information about the functional and anatomical functions in the body before pinning down a diagnosis. For instance: if the differential diagnosis contains myocardial infarction (heart attack) then we must test for all functional aspects of a heart that may show […]
For years doctors and engineers, have been working to create a replacement for limbs. Whether its been through mechanical levers or high functioning brain computer interface systems, recreating a human limb has put our minds to a test of physiological systems modelling and understanding. Lets look at a prosthetic hand design and how physiology challenges […]
