Why the Hospital Pager Withstood the Test of Time
WEBMotorola came up with the name “pager” in 1959, and ran away with pager technology by introducing the first tone-only pager in 1964, called the Pageboy. Doctors would hear the tone (or beep, hence the nickname “beeper”) and call the hospital operator for a message. Tone and voice pagers came along in the 1970s and could not only alert a ...
Structured vs. Unstructured Data in Healthcare | HealthTech
WEBStructured data in healthcare consists of demographic information (first and last name, date of birth, home address, gender), vital signs (height, weight, blood pressure, blood glucose), and data elements such as diagnostic or billing codes, medications and laboratory test results. Unstructured data, by contrast, is undefined in its native format.
