Toyota recently announced exciting new robotic technology aimed at helping get people debilitated by strokes, joint disease, vascular disease, and other chronic conditions moving again. New technological advances by the automaker have the potential to aid patients in many ways, from the hospital to the home.
Take strokes for example. There is substantial data that early mobility helps the brain develop adaptive changes, prevents muscle atrophy, and more. So in addition to the long-term benefits, this kind of assist technology has other potential benefits for patients.
Given that Japan is one of the world’s most rapidly aging nations, Toyota sees medical technology an important business opportunity.
The company aims to commercialize devices such as its “independent walk assist” device after 2013. Via dbtmobile, Thibaud Guymard Delete the scoop?

Ronan Kavanagh, MD (@ronantkavanagh) reflects on how Social Networks bring healthcare professionals together without their having ever met face to face -- although that oftens happens later, as this warm, accurate (to my experience) piece concludes:
'Putting aside my family’s fears that I might be drafted into a highly sophisticated religious cult masquerading as online rheumatologists , I arranged to meet my group for dinner.
Most would probably have considered us strangers. Or were we? A number of times most days, we share clinical observations, links to publications that have interested us, shared frustrations, psychological support and even clinical advice. All of this is mixed in with a funny mix of holiday snap posts, book and music recommendations, Haiku poetry, word game posts and general banter. I had a sense, even before I met them all (I had met two of the group before), that these were already friends.
Despite the simplicity of the technology of Twitter, there is something unexpectedly rich about the social interaction it affords. By simply reading someone’s 140 character utterances over a period, and by swapping ideas and information with them, I had an idea that you got know to know someone reasonably well. But you never know…. What was upliftingly reassuring about meeting them all was that they were exactly as I had expected them to be. As warm, open, enthusiastic and eager to exchange ideas as they were online. One was a bit taller than anticpated, one a little heavier and I expect that they all thought that I was a little balder (than my carefully angled profile picture might suggest).
A stranger sitting close by would have assumed, from the easy conversation, laughter and bonhomie that they were eavesdropping on a group of old friends.
And they would have been right.' Via Andrew Spong, Marie Ennis-O'Connor, TourdeForce Delete the scoop?
