Research Focus

eHealth

Information and communications technology is radically changing the way consumers access medical information and services, patients interact with their physicians, and physicians and other health care specialists interact with one another. In the not-too-distant future, the "digital hospital" will feature information screens connected to central databases, electronic medical records storage, 3D digital imaging instead of traditional x-rays, and hospital-wide wireless communications networks that will allow medical workers to access and update a patient care records from anywhere using handheld devices. TRLabs is working with a variety of partners in the health community to make this vision a reality. Current areas of research include clinical networks, medical informatics, telehealth and medical imaging.

Digital Media

The Digital Media Focus Area at TRLabs looks at how to evolve communication networks to provide seamless ubiquitous access and become cognitive in their operation so they dynamically adapt to provide end users with customized services.
