Introduction

The world is not user friendly, and I want to fix that! I see opportunities everywhere I go, from poor off-base search results on Google to redundant, unintuitive and cluttered databases for hospital patients. Database management systems need to be more intuitive and able to learn. When a person uses a search engine they should be able to edit it for themselves in a personal way. They should be able to ban certain search results, such as a student who can not use Wikipedia or forums, blocking them from their results so that they do not have to waste time scrolling through results. If I search for “red cars” on Google, I should not see a random blue one in my search results. When it comes to the hospital environment, there are multiple applications that have to be opened, logged into and navigated, each with different rules for passwords and many tabs that do not apply to every patient or every care giver. This creates a very cluttered environment that tries to cover all bases but actually slows down productivity with redundant entries and the need to navigate between tabs to log one encounter. Everything that happens to a patient can and should be documented and the database of the future will intuitively process that information to allow physicians to cross reference the patients plan of care with the database. One more innovation I would like to see in a hospital is a mobile app that will be synced with the hospital information system to allow family members to know what department their patient is in and how to get there with a real time guidance system that tells them step by step how to navigate the buildings and hallways in the hospital. Incidentally, this kind of app can be made to work in other locations too such as colleges, courthouses or shopping malls.
