Allergy Friendly Rooms
If three Buffalo companies are right, allergy-friendly hotel rooms could be the tip of a giant health-conscious
market that could push their
products and services into homes, hospitals and even school buses.. Now,
with local research scientifically backing their products' claims,
the firms are poised to enter a growth phase..
The Buffalo and Cheektowaga firms have been part of study at the University at Buffalo to
test the efficacy of

Innovative application of Personal Digital Assistant (PDAs) in improving patient care
Jeffrey A. White, a former graduate student of the IUCB Buffalo and Miami sites is making local and national news for his work with Palm Pilots at the Miami Children's Hospital, in Miami, FL.
In a first-of-its-kind use of technology, the Pediatric International Heart Center at Miami Children's Hospital is now using PDAs to access, update, and disseminate patient information. Using software developed by Jeffrey A. White, currently a biomedical engineer on staff at Miami Children's Hospital, nurse practitioners and physicians may now use PDAs to streamline data entry and update the hospital's database of cardiac surgery patients.
Channel 10 (Miami, FL) extensively promoted this story. Mr. White
was also featured nationally on National Public Radio (NPR) and locally
on WIOD 610 AM News Radio.
