Tuesday, June 16th, 2009

Will future video games integrate with EMR(Electronic Medical Records)? Seems interesting. This could happens. Atleast one person thinks so currently.

According to masshightech,  Ben Sawyer, co-founder of Portland, Maine-based serious game development studio Digitalmill Inc. predicted that eventually mobile fitness tracking applications and video games like Electronic Arts Inc.’s (Nasdaq: ERTS) EA Sports Active will integrate with electronic medical records. Ben predicted at fifth annual Games for Health Conference on fitness-based “XRgames” in Boston, last week. He is also conference organizer. He also commented that Boston was right place, as it has capital, game developers and health experts in one place.

It would be really interesting, if this happens. The doctor will know why you have back pain or painful thumbs. Too much gaming are we? :)

Another future Android medical application in the making ………………………….
