About Me: Transforming healthcare innovations and medical technology business opportunities to real success by increasing productivity through group effort and networking.

My medical writing is focused around carpal tunnel syndrome, hand surgery, neurophysiology, pulmonary function testing, spirometry, wellness, medical technology and innovative healthcare products and methods.

I'm not into regulatory writing but looking for ways to have direct conversations about new medical technologies and healthcare inventions.

- cost-effective diagnostic methods
- telemedical applications to distribute special skills and knowledge
- mobile devices for occupational health applications

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

I write a blog about Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and nerve conductivity testing.



In UK around five million workers are exposed to hand-arm vibration in the workplace. Two million of these workers are exposed to levels of vibration where there are clear risks of developing disease, especially when working with mechanical hand tools or machinery.



Exposure to hand-arm vibration can lead to a number of conditions known… Continue

Hello, I started in "Talk Medical" a few minutes ago. I've been working with medical technology and the healthcare industry for a long time. My goal is here to talk about carpal tunnel syndrome, hand surgery, spirometry, pulmonary function testing, medical technology innovations and healthcare economics.

I am a retired executive who managed to build a variety of computer products for the banking and financial markets. After working with a number of very close friends at Kansas University and Kansas State I got involved with developing a controller to create vibrational frequencies for treating various types of treatments. Like you I am a capitalist and sugscribe to the idea that if it makes good business sense then continue if not move on. Some of the best solutions are clearly visible to many who simply do not understand how to manage, create, and control a specific treatment using intellegent solutions.

I would be pleased to provide you with more particulars at a later date.

Respectfully,

In working in alternative areas that demonstrate these types of solutions creates a genuiune interest from the hospitals here in San Diego, California. Currently we are working towards a device that will eliminate Staph infections in elevators and hospital rooms. A group of scientist came to me from Wichita, Kansas asking for assistance desiging a controller to manage a laser source to zap an area decontaminating a specific target. The solution they were pursuing was simply too costly. So we have come back and demonstrated a much more economical solution that will yield them good returns on their investment of time and money.

I agree that change is difficult for many but when you can demonstrate a successful solution that does not include them, they can come full circle and ask to be a participant and not to be left out. Problem with that kind of participation is they can either steal the technology or distrupt it. In some circles I am considered a professional litigant because I do not back down even from the government. Solutions can be given away but when it is stolen I take it very personnally. Over the years many have paid dearly both financially and professionally for not playing by the rules.

There are many ways to improve our lives by simple technologies. To me that is where the pleasure comes from, conceiving, designing, manufacturing, and deploying solutions is what is all about.

Respectfully,

Richard McGranahan

Thanks for the comments Helge...the statistics are sad but true! In the U.S. our new President has set an agenda from bringing electronic health records everywhere in 5 years--so I think this is great timing for our project. hope all is well in Finland!

Helge, well said!

About this statement: "Should we be carrying our information with us on a memory chip?"

I would say this is what scares people. this is why with EmergiLink we designed the system to work if you are a patient and found naked in the middle of the street. A biometric signature such as a fingerprint will work because you don't need to carry anything with you or have anything implanted. If you get a moment to check out my video link before my article, you will see how easy it can work.

As for the different systems, they can be made to talk to each other but there obviously has to be cooperation which is the hard part.

My system is designed to work from the pre-hospital end of things which can be an all-inclusive system for this area of healthcare.

Would there be interest in your country for the EmergiLink program?

Welcome to AMDS India
http://docs.google.com/Doc?id=ddrnv5t_1c3x2pzcz&btr=EmailImport

The Ayush Muscular Dystrophy Society has been active in the field of authentic Ayurvedic supportive treatment and rehabilitation since 1995.
A number of families of afflicted children are registered with AMD society, which is involved in helping families with information about all aspects of NMD including Ayurvedic Treatment, Yogic support, physiotherapy, diet, monitoring the breathing, and updates about what is new in the form treatments that may be in the pipeline.
The Patients are diagnosed by modern methods and treated by Ayurvedic Panch Karma and Yoga therapy. This holistic approach has proven to be more beneficial to the families and is being scientifically verified and explored further. The recent update on investigations are available in the google link below:

I am working on clinical pharmacy education and individual therapy based on pharmacogenetics research, especially for organ transplant patients.
Nice to meet u.

Dear Fellow Member:

According to the US Center for Disease Control and Prevention, nearly 24 million Americans have DM, and about 6 millions of them are not aware that they are diabetics. By the time when they are diagnosed with DM for abnormal blood glucose tests, they have likely had other ongoing pathological changes inside their bodies such as cataracts, retinopathy, arteriosclerosis and atherosclerosis, hypertension, coronary heart disease and stroke, arthritis and fibromyalgia (fibromyositis), cancer(s), even neurodegenerative changes such as Alzheimer’s disease, just to name a few.

DM only represents a stage of a disease, daily repeated hyperglycemia, when about 50% of the pancreatic beta cells are destroyed by inflammation, which is a result of excessive consumption of carbohydrates. The pathological changes are progressive and accumulative, unless the individual mindfully reduces the consumption of carbohydrates. Thus, simply waiting for a diagnosis with DM has no value in preventive medicine, is passive and unacceptable.

For preventing and managing DM, I need your help by doing the followings. Please view my videos and understand why DM is not necessarily a genetic disease. Visit your group(s) frequently or join them at Talk Medical, The Diabetic Challenge, and Onco'Zone. Also follow my weekly blogs at “What’s New, Doc?” Lastly, please forward my message to your family members and friends on your network.

Let us joint together in removing DM and many other diseases from our life! Thank you.

Sincerely,
Robert Su, Pharm.B., M.D.
