The massive advancements in technology has not penetrated much into healthcare. True that extraordinary strides have been made in diagnostic, therapeutic and imaging systems. True that an amazing variety of passive and smart biomedical devices are alleviating the problems faced by people with failing internal organs. True that there is a dramatic increase in life span.
The down side is that though mortality is decreasing, morbidity is increasing. Few are in the pink of health. Lifestyle changes, cross cultural behaviour patterns and work place stresses (gyms at work not withstanding) are creating major health problems for the young and productive(?) workforce.
This is where IT can step in.
Massive amount of data is being collected at hospitals, but rarely processed meaningfully. The harried doctors give a cursory look at MRI, CAT, PET and other scans produced with enormous computing power. Smart built in expert systems can make life simpler for the consultant by intelligent analysis of these.
Too many invasive instruments collect data that can easily be collected non invasively. A case of less being more. Hospital infections can be minimised.
The massive data collected can be processed intelligently to help accurate acute care delivery.
Those interested can study this article and see how they can contribute to make for a sense of well being to the ailing many:
