Health Technology developments are driving health care alternatives Health care costs are rising dramatically; not specifically because of more people using the system or more older persons Because of more and better diagnosis and treatment alternatives Provinces are rationing health care to meet budgets Technology may also offer more cost effective solutions July 17, 2014 © Robert G Parker & UWCISA 3D Printer Printing Skin at Sunnybrook Hospital, Toronto V-3 S-1 Health Mix Calcium Chloride & Algae July 17, 2014 Make Gel Substance Spin Substance Around Spool Make Fibres Use Fibres as Scaffold or Netting Make Skin Matrix Print Patient’s Stem and Other Cells on the Matrix Make Skin Printed to Match Colour & Texture to Repair the Burn © Robert G Parker & UWCISA V-3 S-2 Health Capable of producing a whole body’s worth of skin in four to five hours” July 17, 2014 © Robert G Parker & UWCISA V-3 S-3 Health Impact on Business and Society More effective health care delivery Less employee absenteeism Employees living longer after retirement Risks and Impacts Increased period post employment when employer will pay health care costs Public health care plans not able to cover all new treatments – increased reliance on private insurance plans July 17, 2014 © Robert G Parker & UWCISA V-3 S-4 Drones July 17, 2014 © Robert G Parker & UWCISA V-3 S-5 Drones Police Use Source USA Today September 7, 2012 Source: TC January 28, 2013 July 17, 2014 © Robert G Parker & UWCISA V-3 S-6 Drones Source: Popular Science-January 2014 July 17, 2014 © Robert G Parker & UWCISA V-3 S-7 Drones July 17, 2014 © Robert G Parker & UWCISA V-3 S-8 Drones Under current Canadian law, anyone can fly a UAV or take video with it for fun, as long as the machine weighs less than 35 kilograms and is not being used for a commercial purposes. Hobby UAVs also have to stay under 400 feet and within line-of-sight of the operator. Aircraft are tested for bird strikes on a regular basis and the industry is highly regulated and safe, Mauro says. "But they are not tested for a 70 pound (35 kilogram) carbon-fibre drone flying into the engine or the windscreen. And I think that is a safety issue we are seeing now."

They require all operators flying for commercial purposes to get a permit and file a sort of flight plan, a process that usually takes between 10 and 20 days © Robert G Parker & UWCISA V-3 S-9 Drones August 7, 2011 July 17, 2014 © Robert G Parker & UWCISA V-3 S - 10 Drones Impact on Business and Society Will Make Internet Purchases a More Viable Option – 2 Hour Delivery Less Expensive and Safer for Businesses - e.g. Flying a Pipeline More Economical – Searches, Viewing Vast Areas – e.g. Surveying Grain Fields Risks and Impacts Privacy Concerns Confidentiality if Carrying Confidential Information and Encounters Problems Noise Concerns Accidents in Congested Air Space; Debris Falling Requirements for Legislation, Regulations and Monitoring July 17, 2014 © Robert G Parker & UWCISA V-3 S - 11 NASA The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is the agency of the United States that is responsible for the nation's civilian space program and aeronautics and aerospace research. President Eisenhower established the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) in 1958] with a distinctly civilian (rather than military) orientation encouraging peaceful applications in space science. NASA science is focused on better understanding Earth through the earth observing systems advancing heliophysics through the efforts of the Science Mission Directorate's Heliophysics Research Program,[exploring bodies throughout the solar system with advanced robotic missions July 17, 2014 © Robert G Parker & UWCISA V-3 S - 12 NASA July 17, 2014 © Robert G Parker & UWCISA V-3 S - 13 NASA July 17, 2014 © Robert G Parker & UWCISA V-3 S - 14 NASA July 17, 2014 © Robert G Parker & UWCISA V-3 S - 15 NASA July 17, 2014 © Robert G Parker & UWCISA V-3 S - 16 NASA July 17, 2014 © Robert G Parker & UWCISA V-3 S - 17 NASA UUV – Unmanned Underwater Vehicle UAV – Unmanned Aerial Vehicle RPV – Remotely Piloted Vehicle July 17, 2014 © Robert G Parker & UWCISA V-3 S - 18 NASA July 17, 2014 © Robert G Parker & UWCISA V-3 S - 19 NASA July 17, 2014 © Robert G Parker & UWCISA V-3 S - 20 NASA July 17, 2014 NASA – National Aeronautical Space Administration © Robert G Parker & UWCISA V-3 S - 21 NASA July 17, 2014 © Robert G Parker & UWCISA V-3 S - 22
