ICTs in medicine
Body scanners
A body scanner sends electromagnetic rays through a patient’s body and sensors detect how much different parts of the body absorb the rays. A computer uses this data to build up an image of the inside of a patient’s body.
Patient monitoring
Computers are used in hospitals to monitor critically, the patients in intensive care units.
The patient has sensors attached to him which detect changes in heart rate, pulse rate, blood pressure, breathing and brain activity.
Organ transplants
Computerised databases are used to help match patients who are waiting for organ transplants such as a new kidney, liver or heart, with suitable organs from donors.
Patient records
Computerised databases are used by every hospital in the country to store information about patients.
Ambulance
They use satellites to find the places were they need to go pick up people that have an emergency
Lab
innovative visual analysis techniques for pre-surgery and surgical procedures, thanks to innovative 3D data acquisition and display systems.
Training
advanced medical personnel training technology, in particular, through the development and implementation of surgery simulators.
Distributed infrastructure for clinical applications
in particular systems able to analyse and handle large amounts of clinical data. A possible application is for instance comparison, for epidemiological and diagnostic purposes, between an individual patient's data and the data already acquired on a regional scale.
Conclusion: ICTs is the insfracture and components that enable modern computing we use ICTs in almost everything medicine, education, business, transport and a lot more and it helps us communicate with each other and the world
