Thoughts about technology, "everyware healthcare" & my dad. (Stories from the ICU, Songs from the LTACH)

My father had surgery over a month ago, spent about 3 weeks in the ICU, and now is living the life of luxury in a LTACH, stranded in a city where he does not live, hundreds of miles away from family and friends.   I've written a few blog posts related to health care, emergency health records, and technology designed to support the elderly, focusing on issues related to the "health-care user experience".

Here are some links to my posts:
