                Lesson learned Journal Entry 5: Data Manipulation and Presentation

            I learned many things about data this week and the good and bad of data manipulation. I learned about the use of cloud computing in data manipulation as a long term storage solution for the interdisciplinary field of Bioinformatics. They have been looking for solutions to extrapolate the vital information from the rapid accumulation of the data and using the internet has been proposed.  Rita brought to the forefront that there can be ethical issues with the data and information in the way it is presented and we need to careful of the quality of data and the source.  Adam discussed the new mobile technology and how it will change the healthcare landscape.  The access to data and the ability to provide care when analyzing this data makes this program valuable. Joy explained the new technology of Google glasses and how they can visualize data by wearing these glasses. This can be very helpful to emergency room physicians because they can view vital sign, lab reports, through this application via the Droid. Fiona spoke about the presentation of data and how some presentations are good and some are poor.

            Data management and manipulation can impact activities of daily living and social contact with Google glasses, be presented in PowerPoint presentations or be part of the newest mobile technology. It is advancing daily and we as healthcare providers need to be aware of the many avenues of data.
