There is a lot of talk about RFID in healthcare — from patient identification to medical equipment tracking to pharmaceutical and the supply chain safety and efficiency. But there’s not that much talk about the patient except as an indirect beneficiary of the technology.
But that may be about to change. A synergistic combination of new sensor technologies, RFID and cell phones promises to usher in a new era of patient convenience, safety and, surprisingly, cost reduction.

SAN FRANCISCO, CA, November 5, 2008 - CogniSign, the worldwide leader in image and video search and contextual advertising technology, today announced that it has named Pierre Barbeau, CEO of Moblico (The Mobile Life Company), to its board of advisors. The company will be drawing upon the former Sprint executive and recognized mobile industry expert, whose achievements include launching the Sprint Picture Mail service, to help drive its growth and global market expansion. This appointment follows the recent formation of CogniSign Asia Pacific, headquartered in Tokyo.
These two milestone developments build upon CogniSign’s strong momentum. With
its award-winning Intelligent Image Recognition Technology, which solves the
problems in image and video search and advertising that are unique to the small
screen, the company was one of only three emerging market leaders selected by
InfoTrends to be highlighted during the two day Digital Imaging Conference 2008 in
Burlingame, CA.
“We are pleased to have Pierre as a part of our advisory board as we bring this
ground-breaking technology to the global market,” said Bryan Calkins, CEO of
CogniSign. “Our newly patented trajectory technology brings the most accurate
search and ad results to the very top. This is how Google won the battle for market
dominance in the text based world, and CogniSign is well positioned to do the same
for image and video search and ad targeting.”
“In the post iPhone world, both image and video content are becoming very
pervasive on mobile platforms,” said Pierre Barbeau. “With the massive potential of
mobile audiences, advertisers will rush to embrace new technology platforms that
can make advertising more engaging and targeted. The increased consumption of
image and video content on mobile devices require ad targeting solutions that can
decipher what a viewer is really experiencing at any particular moment. I am looking
forward to assisting CogniSign as they address this market need.”
