INTRODUTION:

Broadly segmented into

1. Medical equipments2. Implants3. Medical disposables & furniture

Products

Insulin pens to pacemakers MRI scanners Life-support machines and so on

1. MANAGEMENT INFORMATION SYSTEMS:

Computerized database Produces regular reports Special reports from the system easily

Objective:

Safety and performance Clinical and non-clinical patient interactive effects on economical Organizational Social Juridical Ethical aspects of healthcare

REQUIREMENTS:

Simple physician’s clinic Large nation-wide chain of hospitals Any healthcare setting Clinic management systems Lab management systems Radiology information systems Hospital information systems Analysis of “big-data” is fast

ACCREDITATION:

NABH and NABL accreditation Extensive quality reporting required

2. ELECTRONIC MEDICAL RECORDS:

Stored health information in a digital format shared across different health care settings Records are shared through network Medical history Data stored accurately, legible & effective Eliminate paper error

Goals and objectives

Improve care quality, safety, efficiency, reduce health disparitiesQuality and safety measurementClinical decision support (automated advice) Patient registries (e.g., "a directory of patients with diabetes")Improve care coordinationEngage patients and families in their careImprove population and public healthElectronic laboratory reporting (hospitals)health event awarenessEnsure privacy and security protections

3. TELEMEDICINE:

Telecommunication and information technologies To provide clinical health care at a distance Eliminate distance barriers Improve access to medical services Not be consistently available rural communities Using 2G/3G network USES: Critical care Emergency situations

PROCESS:

Transmission Imaging Health informatics data

OTHER DEVICES:

Telemedicine achieved with telephone and radio- video-telephony

Advanced diagnostic methods - distributed client/server applications

Additionally with tele-medical devices to support in-home care.

4. CAD – COMPUTER AIDED DIAGNOSIS:

CAD is an interdisciplinary technology (artificial intelligence + computer vision) Radiological-image processing X-ray, MRI, and Ultrasound diagnostics Short time Scan digital imagese.g. computed tomography

USES: Detection of a tumor Medical check-ups in mammography (diagnosis of breast cancer) Lung cancer

DIAGNOSIS:

Pathological Brain Detection (PBD) Breast cancer Lung cancer Bone metastases

5. ROBOTICS:

Surgery operation More precise and less invasive methods Tele-manipulators which use the surgeon's actions on one side to control the “Effector" on the other side

1 Types of medical robots

Surgical robots 

Rehabilitation robots 

Bio-robots 

Tele-presence robots

Pharmacy automationDisinfection robot &

(APPLICATIONS)

6. SIMULATION LEARNING:

Education and training in medical fields of various industries Simulated human patients Educational documents with detailed simulated animation Homeland security and military situations emergency response To train medical professional Reduce accidents during surgery Train students in anatomy and physiology

Other statistics include:(225,000 deaths error +106,000 deaths non-error)7,391 deaths resulted from medication errors

PROCEDURE:

7. NON-INVASIVE TREATMENT:

The body of foreign objects or materials Radiotherapy

Minimally invasive surgeries

(Cyber & Gamma Knife) Treatment of stones in the kidney, gallbladder or liver

pulse-taking the auscultation of heart sounds and lung sounds (using the stethoscope) temperature examination(using thermometer) blood pressure measurement (using the sphygmomanometer) audiometry eye examination, and many others

Some invasive devices:

APPLICATIONS:

Infrared (imaging of the body)

Diffuse optical tomographyBioluminescence imaging

burn fatcomputed tomography

8. HEALTH INFORMATION PORT:

OBJECTIVES: Improve health care quality Prevent medical errors Reduce health care costs Increase administrative efficiencies Decrease paperwork Expand access to affordable care

Applications Prescription refills online order Eye glasses & contact lenses Access medical records pay bills Review lab results, and schedule medical appointments

Disadvantages: Shortcoming of most patient portal Single health organization Patient uses more than one organization for healthcare- needs to log on to each Results in a fragmented view

A secure manner through the Internet Increasing efficiency and productivity

Patients to communicate with healthcare providers by asking questions, leaving comments Sending e-mail messages

Advantages:

Use technologyLive safely…

CONCLUSION
