The DAWN Trials, among others, support positive results for stroke patients who first receive treatment up to 24 hours after symptom onset. Current guidelines that require treatment within 6 hours or less limit clinicians’ treatment options for stroke patients when initial signs may have gone unobserved, or when the patient may have been delayed in getting to the ER. Emerging guidelines are opening a much larger window of opportunity through which we can properly diagnose and treat stroke victims.
Today we have the capability—unparalleled in human history—to compile enormous amounts of information, then apply sophisticated analytic tools and artificial intelligence to help solve patients’ most vexing difficulties. Managing big data is essential to building specialized centers of excellence, and diagnostic imaging is a vital part of their success.
Welcome back to the vRad technology quest as we unlock the 7th and final key!
As always, I recommend you check out the first post in the series if you’re interested in the topics I’ve covered thus far.
Today we’ll discuss how we perform scheduled maintenance on our highly available (24/7/365) platform and our process for minimizing or eliminating disruptions when short notice changes are necessary.
Let’s get to it.
We have a large team of engineers and developers who create, maintain and enhance our proprietary technology systems. We’re proud of our team and the work that they do, in fact, we have an entire blog series dedicated to their efforts: Technology Quest.
Diversity is important to vRad and we know first-hand that hiring female coders is difficult: there simply aren’t as many applicants.
Welcome once again to the vRad Technology Quest series – let's dive in.
Cyber Security is a hot topic. The frequency of notable events – ranging from the compromise of large corporations to possible state-sponsored security breaches – is increasing.
Welcome back to the vRad Technology Quest Series. We’ve shared how vRad builds and deploys code (vRad Development Pipeline (#2)). This article is an in-depth look at our build automation strategy: how we build the system that builds the code. This is one of my favorite topics and I’ll be explaining some of the more technical aspects of the development pipeline.
