Can we all breathe a great big FINALLY for our health care going digital?

Big thanks to the Canada Health Infoway for sponsoring this post and, more importantly, bringing digital health technology to our health care.

If there’s one place we don’t want cutting edge technology, it’s in our doctor’s offices. Wait. What?

That doesn’t make any sense. And yet all the tech does seem a little weird at first, right? I remember the first time I brought my son in for his regular check-up and the doctor sat down in front of a laptop. She weighed him and measured his height. She listened to his breathing and looked into his eyes and ears. She asked if we had any concerns and then she sat down and started typing. It seemed strange.

It only took that one visit, though, for me to make the adjustment. Entering information into a computer isn’t really any different from making notes with a pen and paper once you get used to it. And it has already managed to save my behind!
