From IBM jStart Headquarters, August 3, 2009Smarter Healthcare: How jStart is leading the way to reduce costs and mitigate risks with emerging technology
Recently, as part of IBM's smarter healthcare inditiative, jStart has
partnered with IBM's Information Management to explore how emerging technologies might be used to engage the
healthcare industry. Real solutions leveraging jStart technologies, including Bluespruce,
Massive Mashups, and LanguageWare™ represent the efforts jStart
is contributing to the Smarter Healthcare initiative.
Why Smarter Healthcare is Important
Healthcare is being pummelled with large amounts of data. But
the industry suffers from the continuing financial constraints that
have plagued the industry for years. A way to break through those
constraints and land engagements? jStart has found that focusing
in on solutions which can demonstrably save healthcare providers
significantly and/or reduce their risks goes a long way to getting the
attention of the healthcare industry. A recent workshop with a large
university medical center centered around how by using emerging
technologies, the center could save significant expenditures in both
time and money--while simultaneously enhancing patient care.
Medical imaging, such as this one of a cervical spine surgery/anterior fusion of portions of the spine, will soon make up a significant portion of data stored in medical systems.
Our commitment to a smarter planet
Being at the forefront of emerging technologies for IBM, jStart has naturally been involved in creating smarter, more intelligent systems since it's inception. Most recently, the team has focused on creating more intelligent content syndication systems, intelligent, cross-communications widgets, intelligently gathering diverse and complex unstructured data and analyzing and visualizing such data, and intelligently instrumenting existing networks for event detection and response.
Tech Briefing This briefing includes presentations, roundtable discussions, off the shelf demonstrations and high level architectural white board sessions exploring the challenges the customer faces and how jStart can help address these issues. Schedule a Briefing.
