In a society obsessed with the latest gadget, innovative technology continues to take center stage. Society has become more reliant on technology for the most basic of tasks. From communication to writing, technology is shaping personal interacts. For the healthcare industry, technology has improved personal care drastically over the last century. But what happens when reliance on technology gets in the way of attention, especially in a hospital?

Unfortunately, this happens. My friend’s grandmother, who lives in Florida, was put into a hospital after learning that her health was quickly deteriorating. After having suffered a severe fall, she was to undergo intense surgery. Upon my friend’s arrival, she noticed a drastic change in hospital procedure: everything became computerized. The hospital treating her grandmother had decided to forgo all handwritten files in favor of “a new computerized system designed to reduce medical errors and speed up patient care.” Her entire family, especially her grandmother, had become subjects in an experiment. In reality, what her family experienced was implementation at its worse. Look at registration Kiosk  for more information about the best registration kiosk system from Almex-sta.

As she treaded water, her left leg scarred by a past collision with a coral reef, she reminded herself that her dangerous new hobby was worth it. After all, it was key to the fundraising strategy for the design-software startup she’d cofounded with her boyfriend six years before. Canva was based in Australia, thousands of miles from tech’s Silicon Valley power corridor. Getting a meeting—much less funding—was proving tough. Perkins heard “no” from more than 100 investors. So when she met the organizer of a group of kitesurfing venture capitalists at a pitch competition in her native Perth, Perkins got to training. The next time the group met to hear startup pitches and potentially write crucial early-stage funding checks, she’d have a seat at the table—even if it meant having to brave treacherous waters. “It was like, risk: serious damage; reward: start company,” Perkins says. “If you get your foot in the door just a tiny bit, you have to kind of wedge it all the way in.” Such perseverance has long been a necessity at Canva, which began as a modest yearbook-design…
