Uses of computer in Health and Medicine





The use of computer technology has greatly enhanced the medical field. Many computer applications, such as patient information system, monitoring and control systems, diagnostic systems have been used to enhance healthcare.

 1. Patient information system :




 It allows doctors at different locations to access permanent patient record  from a centralised database. This type of computer application enables doctors to easily find and send notices to patients who need treatment or medication. It also allows doctors to compare methods of treating illness.

2. Monitoring and Control system : This system help doctors treat patients by providing 24 hour service and by this reduce the level of false alarms.
For example, some surgery patients must continuously be monitored in the ICU , these patients are fitted with censors connected to the system which record vital signs. If a patient's heart beat was to go below or above the programmed range an alarm is sounded. Since the information from these systems can be recorded  so it allows doctors to analyse the patient's process at any later date.

3. Diagnosis system :




It is used to provide technical support to the medical staff during diagnosis and prescribing treatment. In the absence of doctor, it allows for the identification and possible treatment of life threatening symptoms.
