A&M graduate student plans for medical care’s future Froi
By BILL HUGHES
Reporter
At a time when most prospective
Texas A&M December graduates
are thinking about what they'll be
doing in 1986, Jim Vandenberg is
thinking about what health care will
be like in 1995.
Vandenberg, a graduate student
in architecture, is working on a pro
ject for his master’s thesis called
“Advanced Diagnostics System In
corporated.” The thesis is a concep
tualization of what health facilities
and their peripheral systems will
look like 10 years from now.
The project is being partially
funded by a joint fellowship Van
denberg received from the Ameri
can Institute of Architects and the
American Hospital Association.
Vandenberg will present his find
ings in Toronto at the American
Hospital Association’s national con
vention next July.
The focus of Vandenberg’s pro
ject is the use of computers in medi
cal diagnosis.
Vandenberg’s system includes a
one-stop computer-aided diagnostic
and treatment center. Subscribers to
the system will be able to have medi
cal histories taken and updated,
computer-analyzed lab tests per
formed and computer-aided scan
ning done in one step at the center
instead of being shuttled from lab to
lab.
Texans host
Associated Press
AUSTIN — Four top Texas polit
ical strategists are hosting a private
$500-a-plate luncheon Friday for
Sen. Edward Kennedy, D-Mass., ap
parently to discuss his 1988 political
plans.
“This is sort of a joint venture,”
said Joy Anderson, executive assis
tant to former Lt. Gov. Ben Barnes,
one of the hosts.
“They are hoping to begin a dia
logue with the senator since he is
now supporting oil and gas deregu
lation and he also is a member of the
Senate Armed Services Committee,”
Anderson said.
The other hosts are Shannon Rat
liff, Gov. Mark White’s campaign
treasurer; Austin businessman Jack
Martin, a former aide to Sen. Lloyd
Bentsen and Bentsen’s 1982 cam
paign manager; and Ed Wendler,
Austin land developer and lobbyist
with strong ties to trie Texas Demo
cratic Party.
Vandenberg’s system includes a one-stop computer-
aided diagnostic and treatment center. Subscribers to
the system will be able to have medical histories taken
and updated, computer-analyzed lab tests performed
and computer-aided scanning done in one step at the
center instead of being shuttled from lab to lab.
HOU
m Tue
The center’s diagnostic computers
will catch problems early, allowing
minor treatment to begin at the cen
ter and preventiirg unnecessary trips
to the hospital, Vandenberg says.
Peripheral components include
home monitoring units and mobile
units.
The home monitoring units will
allow subscribers to tie into the sys
tem and be diagnosed without leav
ing their homes. Subscribers to the
mobile system will wear wrist mon
itors which can send information for
diagnosis back to the center, as well
as acting as locating devices if the
subscribers are too ill to make the
trip to the center.
Some of Vandenberg’s research
for the project was done in Boston
over the summer. He worked for the
Ritchie Organization, an architect i-
ral design firm specializing in health
facilities — a bonus, Vandenberg
says, because he was able to talk
about his project with people in the
firm who specialized in different f ac
ets of health facilities design. He also
did some research at Harvard and
the Massachusetts Institute of Tech
nology.
In the middle of the summer,
Vandenberg made a side trip to the
American Hospital Association con
vention in Chicago where he talked
with members about the feasibility of
the technology involved in his sys
tem and to get some ideas on how to
further develop the project.
Vandenberg plans to complete
the design of the computer diagnos
tic center before his graduation. In
the spring, he savs he plans to work
on tne presentation phase of the
project, which includes further de
velopment of the theory and a pro
grant which details the different sys
tems, processes and other facets of
the project such as how the role of
physicians will change under the
new system.

Kent Hance, a candidate for the
Republican gubernatorial nomi

The address, sponsored by MSG
Political Forum, is part of the cotn-

In 1978, after a career as an at
