�The United States should develop a comprehensive strategy on the growing need for technological innovations to help foreclose the impendent economic crisis in health care and to better the timbre and convenience of precaution, according to a theme from the 2007 conference "Economic Strategy for Health Care through Standards and Technologies."
By unfirm to a more proactive approach for disease prevention and more than efficient, quality-centric care, new measurement technologies at the molecular level will be required. "A shift of such magnitude can only happen by developing and implementing breakthrough biomeasurement, bioinformatics, biologically based and health information technologies that fundament be integrated with electric current efforts to improve health care manner of speaking," the report card said.
According to the write up, new measurement and in vitro visual image technologies will generate immense amounts of data, requiring advanced computational analysis to identify significant pieces of information.
"Before these technologies tin can be completed and commercialized, however, a long-term economic health forethought strategy must be conventional, with clear metrics for measuring and determining the value of emerging bio and selective information technologies," the report said. "Creating this strategy will facilitate proper allocation of financial resources and see a focus on implementing the most promising technologies."
Organized by the Biotechnology Council, which includes the IEEE, and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), the conference was held at NIST military headquarters in Gaithersburg, Md., on 25 September 2007. Speakers included leaders in medicine, health upkeep, government and industry.
