Fundamental Concept

New technologies that are emerging
from Information Age discoveries
are driving our basic approach
in all areas of healthcare education

 Healthcare has yet to realize the potential
 of high performance computing & simulation

 By 2015 a laptop will compute at 1 TeraHz -   today’s supercomputer

  Less than 2% of hospital deaths have autopsy

  Statistics from autopsy drive national policies
Why modeling & simulation,
imaging and robotics

• Healthcare is the only industry without a
      computer representation of its “product”


•A robot is not a machine . . .
    it is an information system with arms . . .
• A CT scanner is not an imaging system
   it is an information system with eyes . . .
                        thus
• An operating room is an information system with . . .

“Remote Pilots”




                                      A last bastion of guts-and-glory aviation is falling, as
                                   the U.S. Air Force prepares to unveil a new breed of
                                   unmanned aircraft pilots. Known as “remote pilots”,
                                   they’ll wear wings. They’ll fly aircraft. But chances are
                                   many will never climb into a cockpit.                   .
                                   Senior leaders have yet to approve the new
                                   Undergraduate Remote Pilot Training (URT), but Air
                                   Force officers familiar with the project expect approval
                                   by the end of the year. Instead of sticking reluctant
                                   manned aviators behind a console, the Air Force will
                                   groom remote pilots from the start to fly what the
                                   service now calls unmanned aerial systems

                                          Life extension

                                                Life extension consists of attempts to extend
                                          human life beyond the natural lifespan. So far
                                          none has been proven successful in humans.
                                          Several aging mechanisms are known, and anti-
                                          aging therapies aim to correct one or more of
                                          these:
                                          Dr. Leonard Hayflick discovered that mammalian
                                          cells divide only a fixed number of times. This
                                          "Hayflick limit" was later proven to be caused by
                                          telomeres on the ends of chromosomes that
                                          shorten with each cell-division. When the
A strain of mice that have lived . . .    telomeres are gone, the DNA can no longer be
                                          copied, and cell division ceases. In 2001,
                                          experimenters at Geron Corp. lengthened the
                                          telomeres of senescent mammalian cells by
                                          introducing telomerase to them. They then became

                                          the telomeres by two mechanisms: Telomerase,
                                          and ALT (alternative lengthening of telomeres).
                                          At least one form of progeria (atypical accelerated
                                          aging) is caused by premature telomeric
                                          shortening. In 2001, research showed that
                                          naturally occurring stem cells must sometimes
Should humans live 200 years?             extend their telomeres, because some stem cells in
                                          middle-aged humans had anomalously long

Moral and Ethical Issues
               Raised by Technological Success
                will take DECADES of debate
                     Summary of Examples

Should we do research in areas we may not be able to control?
    (eg, genetics, cloning, nanobots, intelligent machines?)

Will prolonging life result in more disease in the overall population

Can we change medicine from treatment to prevention of disease

In defeating diseases, will technology change a human into a combination
of man and machine - what does it mean to be “human”

How will we decide who gets the technology, especially in 3rd World

Known as “remote pilots”, they’ll wear wings. They’ll fly aircraft. But chances are many will never climb into a cockpit. . Senior leaders have yet to approve the new Undergraduate Remote Pilot Training (URT), but Air Force officers familiar with the project expect approval by the end of the year. Instead of sticking reluctant manned aviators behind a console, the Air Force will groom remote pilots from the start to fly what the service now calls unmanned aerial systems 28 Training & Simulation Journal August/September 2006

  • 100. Extending Longevity April 14, 2004 Life extension Life extension consists of attempts to extend human life beyond the natural lifespan. So far none has been proven successful in humans. Several aging mechanisms are known, and anti- aging therapies aim to correct one or more of these: Dr. Leonard Hayflick discovered that mammalian cells divide only a fixed number of times. This "Hayflick limit" was later proven to be caused by telomeres on the ends of chromosomes that shorten with each cell-division. When the A strain of mice that have lived . . . telomeres are gone, the DNA can no longer be copied, and cell division ceases. In 2001, experimenters at Geron Corp. lengthened the telomeres of senescent mammalian cells by introducing telomerase to them. They then became . . . more than three normal lifespans youthful cells. Sex and some stem cells regenerate the telomeres by two mechanisms: Telomerase, and ALT (alternative lengthening of telomeres). At least one form of progeria (atypical accelerated aging) is caused by premature telomeric shortening. In 2001, research showed that naturally occurring stem cells must sometimes Should humans live 200 years? extend their telomeres, because some stem cells in middle-aged humans had anomalously long telomeres.
