4 PDAs will be as Common as the Stethoscope

5 The First PDA

6 Today’s PDA Palm Palm Pocket PC

7 “Must have” Tool for Physicians Garritty et al. “Who’s using PDAs? Estimates of PDA use by health care providers: a systemic review of surveys”. J Med. Internet Res. Vol 8, No 2, 2006 Technology Diffusion Curve

8 What a PDA Can Do for a Physician Organizer Organizer Multimedia: excellent teaching tool Multimedia: excellent teaching tool ‘Just-in-time’ access to most up-to-date medical information ‘Just-in-time’ access to most up-to-date medical information EBM (Evidence-based-medicine) EBM (Evidence-based-medicine) Critical clinical decision making Critical clinical decision making As gateways to complicated webs of medical knowledge As gateways to complicated webs of medical knowledge

9 Objectives Be more effective as a physician Be more effective as a physician Create a PDA application (software) to optimize learning/teaching  patient care Create a PDA application (software) to optimize learning/teaching  patient care

10 My Favorite

11 Pilot Project Setting: NICU (Neonatal Intensive Care Unit) Setting: NICU (Neonatal Intensive Care Unit) Problem: NRD (Neonatal Respiratory Distress) Problem: NRD (Neonatal Respiratory Distress)

12 Setting: NICU NICU (Neonate Intensive Care Unit) NICU (Neonate Intensive Care Unit) Fast pace Fast pace Highly-specialized nature Highly-specialized nature More accessible, easy-to-use resource desired More accessible, easy-to-use resource desired

13 Problem: NRD NRD (Neonatal Respiratory Distress) NRD (Neonatal Respiratory Distress) One of the most common problems in NICU One of the most common problems in NICU Assessment and Management are critical components for the outcome of neonates Assessment and Management are critical components for the outcome of neonates

14 How, What & Who Professional software development tool (Microsoft Visual Studio.Net 2003) Professional software development tool (Microsoft Visual Studio.Net 2003) Platform: Any Pocket PC Platform: Any Pocket PC End users: Neonatologists, residents, medical students. End users: Neonatologists, residents, medical students.

15 Neonatal Respiratory Distress Assessment for Pocket PC (NRDA v1.0) Impart the knowledge about the elements of neonatal respiratory distress Impart the knowledge about the elements of neonatal respiratory distress Include 3 modules Include 3 modules Module 1 Module 2 Module 3

16 Module 1 Recognize the signs of NRD by looking and listening. Recognize the signs of NRD by looking and listening. Description Mechanism Learning/teaching Parent education NICU/inpatient/clinic CyanosisGrunting

17 Module 2 Most common cases of NRD Most common cases of NRD Built-in Calculator - NRDC - to assess the severity of respiratory distress and predict the mortality Built-in Calculator - NRDC - to assess the severity of respiratory distress and predict the mortality Estimate the severity Predict the mortality Case senario Hx, PE, Lab Severe Pneumothorax NRD Calculator

18 Module 3 “Must have” NICU calculators to facilitate the management of NRD “Must have” NICU calculators to facilitate the management of NRD NICU Calculators2 Vol Exchange Transfusion X =((A-B)/A) * ((C-D) + X)

19 Summary First PDA application for assessment and management of neonatal respiratory distress First PDA application for assessment and management of neonatal respiratory distress Very user friendly & easy to use Very user friendly & easy to use Very practical and useful tools for both Very practical and useful tools for both education and patient care education and patient care Users & usage Users & usage Neonatologists, pediatricians, residents, medical students, others Neonatologists, pediatricians, residents, medical students, others NICU, Inpatient & Clinic NICU, Inpatient & Clinic
