Paramedics Use Tablet PCs to Send Patient Information to Hospitals During "Golden Hour" 0000-00-00 Microsoft

Healthcare authorities in Ireland and Dubai are commissioning mobile solutions in ambulances to help optimise use of the "Golden hour" after paramedics collect patients. Valentia Technologies has been commissioned by the Pre-Hospital Emergency Care Council of Ireland and the Dubai Ambulance Centre to deploy a solution for the real-time transmission of patient data from ambulances to hospitals. Using "Ruggedised" mobile tablet PCs and the Windows XP operating system, the solution works both on standard public mobile networks and TETRA. The solution gives emergency departments more visibility of inbound patients prior to arrival. Paramedics are relieved of the burden of paper records and receive a more structured patient-care workflow. Healthcare authorities can use the standardised data on pre-hospital emergency care practice for analysis and evaluation.

Is Windows Vista Really 50% to 87% More Secure Than Windows XP? 2007-09-14 Softpedia

Windows Vista Microsoft Windows Vista is the first software product to go with its entire development process through the Microsoft Software Development Lifecycle. Via the SDL, the Redmond Company attempted to bulletproof Vista as much as possible, making it "Secure by Design, Secure by Default, Secure in Deployment and Communication." Essentially, the SDL was set in place as a model to cut the volume of security defects associated with the design and coding process, as well as to ensure that the mitigations set in place tone down the maximum severity level of the remaining vulnerabilities. Ever since Vista hit the market, Microsoft continually applauded the platform as superior to Windows XP.

Next Generation Malware: Windows Vista's Gadget API 2007-09-11 Portcullis Computer Security

Windows has had the ability to embed HTML into its user interface for many years. Right back to and including Windows NT 4.0, it has been possible to embed HTML into the task bar, but the OS has always maintained a sandbox, from which the HTML has been unable to escape. All this changes with Windows Vista. This paper seeks to inform system administrators, users and the wider community on both potential attack vectors using gadgets and the mitigations provided by Windows Vista.
