Hospitals and Healthcare
There are many challenges facing hospitals and healthcare in the modern world we are living in. I've created this curation collection to save articles that help me understand what modern health in society is.  The articles here are general in nature and placed here to promote discussion. We advise that you talk with your health professional before changing any of your medication or treatment options.  Any of the online courses listed here may (or may not) be open for access or enrolment. Most are free to browse, some may charge a small fee if you wish to receive a certificate or record of learning.   Every effort is made to ensure that these links are up to date and be aware that some of these articles may be behind a 'paywall'. If you can’t get into an article, email me and I may be able to assist.  Views are my own.

That New Apple Watch EKG Feature? There Are More Downs Than Ups | Hospitals and Healthcare | Scoop.it
The heart monitor should not be considered a medical device and reflects wider problems with health screens.
Sandra John-Baptiste's curator insight, October 21, 2018 4:36 PM
The EKG feature on the Apple Watch is the focus of this article.  While wearables have the potential to help with patient education and compliance.  The potential for use needs the exploration and vetting of medical professionals as it does not offer the same type of information as a true EKG. If this device is used in future for testing and distance monitoring, training for patients and physicians alike will be a requirement.

Why join the course?
The electrocardiograph (also known as electrocardiogram) or ECG is a non-invasive diagnostic procedure, commonly used to assess people with known or suspected heart disease, in a variety of healthcare settings.

Competent recording, reading and interpretation is vital to ensure safe and effective care, yet ECGs are commonly undertaken by unqualified and junior staff, who have received little training.
