The role of ICT in the future of Healthcare

My colleague Bill Crounse has posted a video up on the MSR site that looks at some of the ideas that our Health Solutions Group are thinking about as future challenges and opportunities for IT in healthcare.

You’ll find it posted here;

In this special two-part video edition of House Calls for Healthcare Professionals, Bill Crounse, MD, visits with researchers at Microsoft Research.  Each program reviews three promising areas of research that may one day lead to solutions with a direct or indirect application to health and healthcare.   Viewers will gain insight to advanced ideas and technologies now in the labs at Microsoft Research long before they find their way into future products, solutions, or applications.

Remember as you watch it that this is a documentary of time that Bill was spending with MSR, so it is a little bit of blue sky thinking, looking at how opportunities in healthcare may be addressed ten, fifteen or twenty years from now – rather than tackling issues elsewhere in the healthcare world.

Other parts of Microsoft are working on how we use ICT to help the system today.
