Health

 How do we apply healthcare technology?

From massive diagnostic imaging scanners to tiny wearable sensors, technology is an integral part of modern healthcare. In addition to new treatments and medical procedures, technology has improved many healthcare business processes as well. Many people have come to enjoy the conveniences of scheduling appointments online, accessing test results and records with just a few clicks, or sending questions to their providers through email or text.

Here are just a few examples of the areas in which healthcare technology innovations are supporting the next wave of advances in healthcare:

Disease diagnosis and treatment

Using AI to process data, like medical images, and develop disease models can potentially help clinicians make diagnoses with more precision. For example, recent work from IBM Research has shown that AI can be used to recognize and interpret brain activity patterns in MRIs to track the progression of neurodegenerative illnesses, such as Huntington's disease.

Medical imaging

Computers and AI models are particularly valuable in medical imaging because they can help turn pictures into numbers and detect trends. These innovations can help radiologists and other clinicians manage the enormous volume of images they have to review by identifying high-value findings and bringing anomalies to their attention.

Healthcare operations

Many hospitals and healthcare systems are starting to build on improvements they've seen with electronic medical records and find other ways to systematically improve their operations. Cloud technology, analytics, and mobile technology are just a few of the technologies organizations are using to optimize their digital infrastructure.

Clinical research

Life sciences organizations are using technology to transform how clinical trials are being performed. Smart devices, telehealth visits, and sensors are being used to support decentralized trials that make data collection more efficient and convenient for the people who participate.

Robotics in Healthcare:

  • Medical robots fall into several categories: surgical assistance, modular, and autonomous.

  • Using robots in the medical field helps improve patient care and outcomes while increasing operational efficiencies.

  • Intel-powered robotics drive innovation with AI-assisted surgery, automation, and real-time patient data analytics.

Entertainment

Image
  ICT has been the source of entertainment and leisure and it is being used in these situations such as; communication, games, media streaming, and home leisure. Entertainment and Leisure •  Home and leisure  - you have different machines to help you do tasks at home like cooking, washing, and air conditioning. You use microwaves to help you heat up food, and have washing machines to wash your clothing. And these machines are made by using ICT. If it weren't for ICT, we would have to create fire to cook our food. •  Communication  - every single day, we use phones, computers, and different sites (like Facebook or Twitter) to talk to our friends or family and ICT invented these methods to enable us to talk to people and communicate with them. ICT also helps us talk to friends that live in other countries. ICT also gave us some entertainment to have, instead of just reading books or doing sports, ICT has made games for us to play and we can stream on the internet ...

When talking about  modern farming technology , one needs to acknowledge the role of ICT as a decision support system for farmers. Through the assistance of ICT, farmers are able to stay updated with all recent information. This is inclusive of data about weather, agriculture, and newer and more advanced ways of enhancing crop quality and production. Not only that, new machinery based on technology also helps farmers to enhance their production and to reduce the time limit.
