As many of you know Steve Jobs passed away on October 5th, I just wanted to share this speech he made at the 2005 Stanford Commencement. Steve Jobs: How to live before you die | Video on TED.com As one of our time's greatest innovators, its unfortunate and sad that his life ended so prematurely.
Furthermore, what many of you may not have known or realized is that Steve Jobs left quite a mark in healthcare before his untimely passing : http://www.ihealthbeat.org/articles/2011/10/6/industry-leaders-reflect-on-how-steve-jobs-has-influenced-health-care.aspx
I never really thought about how much apps and smartphones have changed healthcare or even pharmacy practice so drastically just in the last 5 years even. I can't imagine my life without a smartphone now. I may not be lucky enough to have an iPhone, but my Droid offers an array of apps and information access which aids my pharmacy student life. Even more exciting, which is mentioned in the this article is the growing number of physicians using iPads in their practice for electronic health records.
