Medical University of South Carolina telemedicine program to connect ICU specialists with rural hospitals

The telemedicine revolution in South Carolina is expanding to hospital intensive care units.

The Medical University of South Carolina on Wednesday announced a partnership with Advanced ICU Care to connect the Charleston facility's intensive care physicians with rural hospitals.
A $12 million state telemedicine grant approved this year will help fund the tele-ICU services, slated to begin late this year. MUSC will work with rural hospitals to equip them for the effort using the grant funds.
Telemedicine programs link facilities using interactive audio, video and data systems, allowing a physician in Charleston, for instance, to consult on a case in a rural area. Successful telemedicine programs already have been established in South Carolina for psychiatry, pediatrics and neurology.

"Smart Diapers" - Pixie Scientific claims to have engineered a diaper that can potentially detect urinary tract infections, kidney issues, dehydration, and even Type 1 diabetes.

Pixie Scientific's 'smart diapers'
The discussion around “wearable technology” is dominated by Google Glass, smart watches, and fitness trackers. But diapers — yes, diapers — may end up being a more practical use of wearable tech than any of those.
New York City startup Pixie Scientific claims to have engineered what it calls “smart diapers.” The company says these diapers can potentially detect urinary tract infections, kidney issues, dehydration, and even Type 1 diabetes. Those are critical issues for young children, and detecting these early could keep your child from becoming ill.
“I was driving with my wife and daughter one day when my wife asked if the baby had wet herself,” Pixie Scientific founder Yaroslav Faybishenko told the New York Times. “I realized she was sitting in data.”

Most people underestimate the dangers of wireless technology to our health and well-being. Is your convenience worth the potential danger to your health?

Why we should all switch back to ethernet cables: Wireless internet poses serious chronic health risks

(NaturalNews) While the proliferation of wireless devices has made accessing the internet more convenient and less obtrusive (no unsightly cables lying around), studies are now revealing the trade-offs that come with convenience. More specifically, the dangers that the widespread adoption of wireless technology has created in regards to our health. Simply put, most people underestimate the dangers of wireless technology to our health and well-being.

24 hours a day, 365 days a year

One of the most dangerous aspects of wireless is the "always-on" nature of it. The vast majority of people who use wireless routers set them up and never turn them off. This means that they are constantly generating a dangerous electromagnetic energy field 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. This makes wireless technology a very significant chronic health risk. More troubling still is the "compounding" nature of living near neighbors using wi-fi. For example, if you look at the wireless connections available in your neighborhood in your computer's wi-fi network browsing tool, you'll see neighbor's connections. All these EMF fields are compounding all around you, so even if you turn your wireless off, your health and well-being is still being affected by neighboring signals.

Health risks of wi-fi

The effects of wi-fi on health are becoming more well-known. Some of the effects are:
- Sleep disturbances
- Difficulty concentrating
- Heart palpitations
- Headaches/migraines
- Persistent fatigue
- Negative thinking
- Digestive problems
- Brain fog and memory loss
- Anxiety and depression
- Chronic stress
- De-motivated
- Dizziness
People who have reported these symptoms also experienced an immediate reversal (within moments!) when disabling their wi-fi or removing themselves from an environment laden with wi-fi signals
Here are some the symptoms associated with the removal/disabling of wireless technology:
- Feeling clearer and lighter
- Feeling "uplifted" in the emotional, physical, and mental bodies
- More motivated
- Feeling happier
- Feeling more peaceful

The solution: What you can do

Clearly, the proliferation of wi-fi poses a very serious threat to health and well-being. I would also argue that our quality of life is reduced by being constantly bombarded by distorted spin energy fields (see my article which outlines energetic spin, here: http://www.naturalnews.com). It's about time we took action in our communities and talk with our friends and neighbors about the very real dangers of wireless technology. Switching back to regular wired internet and disabling wi-fi routers is a general rule of thumb. This is the first step to taking back control of our health destiny.
