Every career has highlights and one of
those extended moments occurred while I was working at Acuson Corp., a
division of Siemens. As the team leader, I was instrumental in
the development, design and delivery of a Java-based medical
application, dubbed WebPro. This Internet software allowed physicians,
for the first time, to review ultrasound examinations over the
Internet. WebPro ultimately became an entire line of products for
Acuson.
The achievement, for which I was awarded two patents, was also
recognized by Cisco chairman John Chambers in a keynote speech at a
health industry conference and he later demonstrated it to then Vice
President Al Gore and high government officials in Russia.
Chambers said: "With new internet applications such as
[the] WebPro package, health care professionals can use Internet
technology to make online medical assessments for patients 24 hours a
day, delivering cost-effective ultrasound diagnosis anywhere the
physician is located." |
