Computer Technologies in Healthcare
Did you know that computer technology has improved healthcare :question: but in what way :question:
It used to improve
Healthcare delivery and accessibility
Patient care and safety
The relationship between healthcare providers and patients
Disease and outbreak control
Healthcare Software
AI in Health care
Function
Manage Medical Data
Predict and Diagnose Disease
Develop New Medicine/Drugs
Management of Patient Flow
Assist in Surgeries
Detect and Predict Outbreak of Infectious Disease
AI managing the massive data in a short time to produce a valuable information which help to improve patient care, making decision, proper diagnosis, developing new drugs and also managing the healthcare facilities' management
Healthcare dashboards
An analytic tools which enable healthcare professionals to access information in real-time and also giving the holistic view and shows the trends that will helps in decision making
Examples:
Hospital KPI dashboard
Patient satisfaction dashboard
Hospital performance dashboard
Infectious disease dashboard
Disease modelling and outbreak prediction
Computer technology used to predict time and location of the disease outbreaks might occur as it will provide early warning and prevention.
Wind direction, velocity, rainfall, thunderstorms, solar radiation, construction sites and altitude are variable used for modelling and prediction
Example of control and eradication of infectious diseases is
dengue, malaria, HFMD, rabies and influenza
Bioinformatics
/ Computational Biology, Computational Genomics, Genomic Data Science
A combination of biology, computer science and statistics to study genomes used for the healthcare future
Example:
Sequence Search Soft.
Sequence Analysis Soft.
Structure Prediction Soft.
Genetic Eng. Soft.
Biology Visualization Soft.
Mass Spectrometry Soft.
Structural Biology Soft.
Molecular Imaging/Prediction Program
Mobile Health (M-Health)
A medical and public practices that is supported by mobile device such as smartphone, patient monitoring devices, personal digital assistants (PDAs), and tablets
Advantages:
Help people stick to their medication regimen by tracking their pills consumption
Prompting patients to take certain medicine
Allowing patients to log any symptoms
Connecting Patients with healthcare provider
Easier documentation filing
Wearable Technology
Function:
track wearer's health and fitness
allowing early detection due to parameters precision
Work as reminder for the patient to take medication
Creating personalized program based on patient's need
Healthcare IoT
An Internet of Medical Things that consists of medical devices application connected to healthcare IT systems via Internet
Examples: - Wearable devices
Remote patient monitoring
Sensor-enable hospital beds and infusion pumps
Medication-tracking systems
Medical supply and equipment inventory tracking
3D Printing/ Additive Manufacturing
in medical field used to create tissues and organoids, surgical tools, patient-specific surgical models, custom-made prosthetics.
Electronic Health/ Medical Records
which used to schedule appointments, updating patients records, submit medical claims, and keeping track of patient history in a systematic way.
Health Information System (HIS)
An Information system designed to manage healthcare data that collects, store, manage and trasmits, patient's electronic health/medical records, hospital's operational management system or healthcare policy decision system
Examples:
Patient portal
Practice management system
Clinical decision support system
E-prescription
Hospital management system
Medical Imaging Technologies
A technologies that create visual representation of human's body interior that cannot be seen from naked eye. These information used to diagnose, monitor and treat medical conditions
CT Scan
A series of
less detailed X-Ray
images that taken from all angle then creating cross sectional images of
bones
, using computer
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
A detailed images of
organs and soft tissue
which used
magnetic files, radio waves
and computer technology
Diagnostic Ultrasound/ Sonography/ Diagnostic Medical Sonography
A high frequency sound waves that create images of human body which need probe and ultrasound gel on the skin so that the sound waves can be transmitted from sound waves into the body through the gel
(Notes: transducers works as collector of sounds that bounces back where the computer used the sound waves to produce images)
Digital Mammography
A computer-aided detection that used medical imaging techniques of X-Ray to examine breast for cancer detection
Computer-Assisted Surgery
that used for pre-operative planning, surgical navigation and assist in performing surgical procedures
What Type of Surgery :question:
Neurosurgery
Oral and maxillofacial surgery, implantology
Ear-nose-and-throat (ENT) surgery
Orthopaedic surgery
Cardiac interventions
Radiosurgery
Example of computer-aided system :question:
Robotic surgery
Laparoscopy
Computer-aided surgical simulations
Computer-aided dental implantology
Telehealth
is a technologies/services that provide patient care and improving healthcare systems
Functions :question:
Enhance healthcare, public health
Deliver and support health education using computer and telecommunication technologies
Telemedicine
A practice of care provider to patients remotely and remote diagnosis and treatment of patients using telecommunications technology
Enriching Medical Education
Usage of virtual reality/augmented reality for medical education (learning and practicing skills)
Issues and Challenges
Not user friendly
Poor support
Slow technical support
Poor connection
Isolated systems
Budget limitation
Other Application of IT in Healthcare
Robots used to deliver medications
Computer/computing devices used for medical test
Communication and information searching by email, text messaging and web
Computer technologies used to create medicine labels and hospitals ID bracelets
Providing appointments and medication reminder
