These are all very interesting developments, there is no doubt that technology is finally becoming integrated into the health care process in a manner that is useful to patients. I read a very interesting article on Askmen.com on 2009 health innovations, many of which are referred to here. Perhaps it will be down to the main private healthcare providers to pioneer this level of IT integration and the NHS can follow suit. Although their record of implementing large scale IT projects leaves alot to be desired.
