�The United States should develop a comprehensive scheme on the growing demand for technological innovations to help keep the imminent economic crisis in health care and to improve the quality and convenience of care, according to a report from the 2007 group discussion "Economic Strategy for Health Care through Standards and Technologies."
By shifting to a more proactive approach for disease bar and more efficient, quality-centric care, new measurement technologies at the molecular level will be required. "A shift of such magnitude can only happen by developing and implementing find biomeasurement, bioinformatics, biologically based and wellness information technologies that can buoy be integrated with current efforts to improve health care delivery," the account said.
According to the reputation, new measuring and in vitro visualisation technologies testament generate huge amounts of data, requiring advanced computational analysis to identify significant pieces of information.
"Before these technologies can buoy be realized and commercialised, however, a long-term economical health charge strategy must be established, with clear metrics for measuring and determining the value of emerging bio and information technologies," the report said. "Creating this strategy will facilitate proper allocation of financial resources and assure a stress on implementing the most promising technologies."
Organized by the Biotechnology Council, which includes the IEEE, and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), the conference was held at NIST headquarters in Gaithersburg, Md., on 25 September 2007. Speakers included leaders in medical specialty, health maintenance, government and industry.
