Information Technology in the field of HEALTH

1. ICT in the field of HEALTH

2. Introduction: - Information and Communication Technology plays a crucial role in the healthcare industry by improving the efficiency, accuracy, and accessibility of medical services. ICT includes various technologies such as electronic health records (EHRs), telemedicine, health information systems and medical imaging technologies. These advancements help healthcare professionals diagnose diseases, manage patient data and provide remote consultation. e

3. Improved patient care. Enhanced communication between health care providers and patients. Better efficiency in operations Ability to monitor public health threats more effectively. Reduced costs. Improved Patient Care Telemedicine and online platforms allow patients in remote areas to access specialist care without extensive travel. Advantages of using ICT in health sector

4. Machines Used in Health Sector... Diagnostic Equipements Used to identify nature or cause of a certain medical condition. ex: - x-ray radiography, blood gas analyzers Treatment Equipements . Used for treatment purposes in the clinics. ex: - infusion pumps, medical lasers Life Support Equipements Used to support lives by aiding a failing or failed organ or system with its physiolog y ex ; - ventilators, dialysis machine

5. Telemedicine Telemedicine refers to the practice of using digital communication technologies to provide remote medical care. It enables healthcare professionals to diagnose, treat, and monitor patient without requiring in - person visits. Types of Telemedicine. 1.) Real-time Telemedicine Uses video conferencing to connect doctors and patients, commonly used for general consultations, mental health, therapy and follow ups.

6. 2.) Store and Forward Telemedicine Involves the transmission of medical data (ex: X-rays, test results) to a specialist for review. Often used in dermatology, radiology, and pathology. 3.) Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) Uses connected devices (ex: heat monitors, glucose trackers) to collect patient data. It helps manage chronic conditions like diabetes, heart disease and hypertension 4.) Mobile Health ( mHealth ) Uses mobile apps and wearable devices to track and improve health. Includes medication reminders, fitness tracking, and health monitoring apps.

7. Benefits of Telemedicine Convenience Accessibility Cost - Effective Infection Control Better Chronic Disease Management Challenges and Limitations. Technology Barriers Limited Physical Examinations Data Privacy Concerns

8. AI Integration 5G connectivity Wearable Tech Expansions Block chain for Security Telemedicine is rapidly transforming healthcare, making it more efficient and accessible. An exploration of innovations in medicine The future of Telemedicine
