Summary Reader Response: Healthcare Drones (Draft 1)

The article “Drones May Become ‘The Next Big Thing’ In Healthcare Delivery”, written by Balasubramaniam (2022), introduces the public to drone technology which innovators have embraced positively in another crucial application relating to the modern healthcare sector. Balasubramaniam reported that drones had given the healthcare sector the golden opportunity to extend its care to patients living remotely by profoundly using drones attached with cameras for telehealth and virtual care as anticipated by researchers from the University of Cincinnati. Moreover, Balasubramaniam states how drones are being globally deployed for the delivery of healthcare stockpiles (i.e., Covid-19 vaccines). Such delivery moves are made possible with drones having a waterproof box the size of small first-aid kits. A study by the European Heart Journal (2021) also explored the use of drones to deliver automated external defibrillators (AEDs) which help save outpatients suffering cardiac arrest. The study foun

Formal Self-Introduction Letter

Dear Prof Brad,  It is a pleasure to write this introductory letter to you in hopes that it allows you to get to know me better. My name is Nur Aziera and I am a freshman studying mechanical mngineering. Like most other students, before I entered the Singapore Institute of Technology (SiT), I recently graduated from Temasek Polytechnic (TP) with a diploma in aerospace engineering. It had always been my childhood interest to learn more about aircraft as I was ever so fascinated by its components and mechanics aspect of it. However, even though my interest was in aerospace, my passion is not in the engineering industry. Instead, my passion lies in wanting to be an educator who teaches physics in secondary school.  In order for me to be able to teach physics in future, I will require to have at least a degree in engineering. Since I was already studying aerospace engineering at TP, I decided to further my studies in mechanical engineering which is known to be a very versatile field in the

CRITICAL THINKING, THE SOUL OF COMMUNICATION

Reading the excerpt made me recognise how poor communication can be a major factor in the working industry. It actually did not shock me to know how there are many businesses around the world who got affected by poor communication and are losing billions of dollars in the process. Personally, I experienced miscommunication and bad judgement calls during my previous internship. It occurred due to the poor communication between both the internal and external stakeholders which unfortunately caused financial damage to the organisation, as we were dealing with aircraft components that were rather expensive when it is wrongly purchased and serviced.  This clearly shows how important it is that both the employees and the leaders in the organisation to equip themselves with critical thinking skills. Equipping themselves with critical thinking skills will help both parties to make good judgment calls which can possibly avoid financial damage as well as come out with innovative yet wise solutio
