What is your name?

Robert Rocha

How long have you been involved in the healthcare industry?

My first job out of college was with a medical research team. I served as a Biomedical Engineer before heading to grad school. For about 8 years I worked for various hi tech companies as an engineer and then eventually sales and business development. I now own a software business and we create 3D patient education and imaging software products. You can say that I've come full circle.

Who's using your software products today and how do they benefit?

Mainly Chiropractors but also some MD's and DO's. The graphics are interactive, easy to use and very compelling. People are visual thinkers, spend a great deal of time on the internet and doctors have a very limited amount of time educate patients so it makes sense to use computer based graphics and animations to educate patients. Paper charts and plastic models just aren't nearly as effective and our customers are seeing much better patient compliance as a result.

Botfly - Eating Us Alive

I have had the grossest morning of my life. This morning when I woke up I checked my mail and saw 9 new messages in my inbox. I checked them one by one and when I am already at the last one, I hesitated since the title is Graphic Images. But being a curious lad, I still opened it.

The first image almost made me puke. It was an image of a girl with her breast exposed. The breast has holes in it and in the holes you can see white spots. When I read the description, it was a case of breast infestation by parasitic larvae of the African Tumbu Fly. It has a video with it but because it's too graphic, I won't post it here.

Healthy Recipe For The Heart

It has been said many times, tomatoes are good for the heart. It is also recommended that at least twice a week, you should eat food with tomato or tomato sauce for that matter because it is rich in lycopene and omega3.
