On a wooded hill Just south of here,
a group of scientists and businessmen
are getting ready to build fantastic
Hospital of Tomorrow"
Within two years - three at the most
- the strange plastic dome shown in
this exclusive THIS WEEK report will be
a unique institution, linking medicine,
electronics and automation in a new
kind of war against disease. There is
nothing like it now in existence.
1t seems a safe prediction that this
small hospital will revolutionize medi-
cine in the United States, if not the
world.
These are some of its amazing features:
There will be no operating rooms, no
kitchen, laundry or bathrooms.
Surgery will be performed on the
patients bed, inside sterile polyethy-
lene bag, inflated over the body.
= The bed itself will convert into bath
tub, shower unit, toilet, with its movable
pipe supports serving as the plumbing.
There are even plans for letting patient
take this amazing contraption home for
convalescence.
The whole hospital will be collapsible
and portable. Parachuted into an cpl
demic or war zone, it could be set up and
ready to receive patients in a few hours.
1t has hollow base and will float, max
ing it possible to erect the hospital on
water - in a food area or bombed-out
harbor, for instance. Through simple
hose connection, the whole outer shell
Evening star., 1960-01-17
illustrated by Fred freeman

can be rinsed thoroughly by the turn of
a faucet, to wash off the debris from
atomic fallout.
Most revolutionary of all: its patients
will receive degree of medical observa-
ton and care inconceivable in the con-
ventional hospital. Doctors and nurses
will not make round" )" routinely check
ing each patients temperature, pulse,
blood pressure, etc. Instead, all these
will be monitored continuously by tiny
buttons worn in the bed clothing, by
finger rings and other miniature instru-
ments, which will send running report
- every heartbeat, every breath - to
central switchboard and magnetic tape
recorder. Any significant change will
fash warning light. (See drawing)
The hospital is designed for low-cost,
mass production.
Not one of these features is Buck
Rogers pipe dream. Euery one of them
exists today, and most haze already
been tested. The sensing buttons, for
example, are called ''transducers. They
have ridden into space taped to animals
reporting to physicians the precise
condition of their patients" Other
devices and techniques were tested
at two symposiums held at Air Uni
versity, at Maxwell Air Force Base in
Montgomery.
Some of these items already are in
hospital use around the country - one
here, another there. What is new is the
concept, pioneered by the non.pro6t
