Editor’s Best Bet: Former CC Instructor to Give Lyceum Presentation
Former Centralia College nursing instructor Shelly Fritz will be talking about “Technology i Health Care: A Look at the Future” during a Lyceum presentation at Centralia College Wednesday.
Fritz, currently an assistant professor of nursing at Washington State University and a National Science Foundation IGERT Fellow, will discuss her research with health-assistive smart home development.
The purpose of this “intelligent home” is to assist disabled persons and/or older adults in maintaining their independence, safety and health. Fritz will also describe how future technologies will impact diagnostics, patient outcomes, the delivery of health care and health policy.
The Lyceum lecture will be at 1 p.m. in Washington Hall 103.
