informatics Canada

The Health Informatics projects in Canada are

implemented provincially, with different
provinces creating different systems

Various forms of machinery such as

ventilators and physiological monitors were
first used in intensive and critical care settings,
and are now currently used in adapted form in
less acute areas, even in home care.
Technology in Canada

BresoDX Sleep Apnoea Diagnostic

BresoTec, a
Canadian company
based in Toronto,
develops and
commercializes
products for the
diagnosis and
treatment of sleep
apnea and
related health
conditions.
BresoDx is an
innovative device
using proprietary acoustic and
movement recording technology
as an aid in the diagnosis of sleep
apnea.ThetheOntario government recently announced that
device will be available later this year for
patient to take home from up to 25 clinics across
the province
 Venowave VW5-6

Venowave enhances circulation and

prevents problems associated with
poor blood flow. Easy to apply and
simple to use, the Venowave VW5-6
delivers a safe and effective solution to
problems associated with poor blood
flow, helping to regain your
mobility and independence.

The VENOWAVE VW5-6 are now upgraded

to VENOWAVE VW5-10 and the VENOWAVE
VW5-10 are is a medical device statistically
proven to relieve the symptoms associated with
chronic venous insufficiency (CVI), post
thrombotic syndrome (PTS) and post phlebitic
syndrome (PPS).

Europe
 This is supported
by many projects aiming at making data
available in different settings including the
patients home and also by practicing telemedicine.

Telemedicine or telehealth, which is the practice

of medicine and nursing over a distance where
data and documents are transmitted through
telecommunication systems
 Rad Book

Advanced diagnostic imaging systems for radiologists,

cardiologists and managing directors of hospitals in
Europe.
The RadBook guides you through digital
mammography, digital X-Ray equipment, CT, MR,
Ultrasound, PACS & RIS solutions as well as
radiation therapy and oncology equipment.

Excellent image quality with shared premium transducers and imaging

technologies and fully features for adult and pediatric exams.
 Telemedicine can be
defined, according to
the European
Commission, as the
provision of
healthcare
services,
through the
use of ICT, in
situations
where the health

professional and the

patient (or two health
professionals) are not in the same
location.
 Increase speed at which health care services are soon to access.

Improve monitoring of chronic conditions and administration of

preventative services

Pacific Rim

The adoption of informatics usually began a

vision by one or more individual. Such people
used any number of opportunities plus number
of opportunities plus their leadership skills to
promote and disseminate the use of information
technology to support nurses in all areas
of nursing practice
 heartstart fr2+ defibrillator

Emergency first
responders with an effective means to treat
victims in Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA). This
lightweight, rugged and easy-to-use Automated External Defibrillator (AED)
allows first responders to deliver lifesaving therapy as soon as they arrive on
the scene. Its patented SMART Biphasic waveform is the most patient-
friendly technology available today.

Asia

Nursing informatics is a completely new aspect in

the health care industry and functions with the
combination of nursing skills and technological expertise.
The specialists in this field are required to maintain nursing
data. They are also expected to communicate any
information that can improvise and pace decision
making by patients, nurses and other consumers and
health care providers. The process of nursing involves
 four different steps.
These are
planning, execution, observation and assessment.
However, since information management is combined with
the process of nursing and also with its practice, a few nursing
communities have added a new step in the process that is known as
documentation

RingMD

Designed to
connect
patients with
doctors
around the
world. The
online
platform
gives patients
the benefits
of a doctors consultation through voice or video calls minus the
aggravation of delay that are of usual occurrence in Asia
healthcare facilities.

Great environment that allows employees to innovate and try new ideas

Finc
Focusing on preventive healthcare, and use artificial intelligence coupled with medical test
results and scientific approaches such as, but not limited to, genetic testing to provide
personalized fitness, nutrition, and fitness advice to users.

Reach lifestyle health goals and steer clear of chronic disease risk.

South America
 Computers are considered an important tool
to help nurses take care of patients and to
organize nursing service and nursing education.
The growth of information technology in
Latin America
and the Caribbean has been consistently the
worlds highest for 20 years.

The initial motivation to develop computer

systems in the
healthcare area was driven by financial and
administrative concerns.
 AeroDR XE

AeroDR XE is the simple,

reliable, robust wireless
DR solution for the most
extreme environments.
AeroDR XE is for healthcare
providers that need to image
patients outside of the
radiography department under extreme
physical and environmental conditions
like ER/Trauma, ICU/CCU or at the patients bedside.

Robust by design, the AeroDR XE delivers unparalleled reliability and

high-capacity imaging. The AeroDR XE is the lightest panel available
soon weighing only 5.7lbs. The panel is liquid resistant reducing the
likelihood of damage due to fluids in the exam area.

Blood
OMRON

Pressure
Monitors
Omron monitors
Provide accurate
readings so you
know exactly whats
going on with your
heart and your
health.

Hypertension, or high blood pressure, impacts roughly 30% of adults in

the United States. An accurate and consistent picture of your hearts
