bioinformatics i am shooting for genetics mixed with computer science.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Dec 22, 2010 at 8:12 PM, tom <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:tompoe@meltel.net">tompoe@meltel.net</a>></span> wrote:<br>

<br>
Bioinformatics as in devices home bound patients use to monitor as part<br>
of hospital sponsored telemedicine programs? Bright future. Every<br>
hospital wants to be able to reach their market and provide telemedicine<br>
programs. "Branded networks" is huge potential. Haven't heard of any<br>
hospital connecting the dots between mesh networks in the community,<br>
though. I approached the hospital down in my small town in Iowa. They<br>
were using a form of telemedicine program for the veterans (PTSD) in the<br>
area. They were very receptive of the idea of upgrading to a mesh<br>
network that would let them expand their services to videoconferencing<br>
for $50 a house. They were hooked up to fiber optic at the<br>
state/national level. Their stumble was at the last mile point, and the<br>
mesh network approach sounded good to them. About that time, the mayor<br>
got a dress-down from Qwest, and everything stalled.<br>
Happy Holidays,<br>
