DatabasesElectronic collection of
informationStored and sorted by fields (such
as name, address, date of service, etc.)
Examples:◦Medical office – patient information
database◦Hospital central supply – vendor
database◦Pharmacy – prescription database

SchedulingSpecially designed software used
to schedule patients for visits.

Financial RecordsWhat type of program would most
likely be used for financial record management?
Used to perform mathematical functions.

Diagnostic ImagingMRI – Magnetic Resonance
ImagingThis is a large magnet
A computer translates the scanned information into cross-sectional images of the body

Diagnostic ImagingCT Scan – Computerized tomographyFirst computer-based body and brain
scannerThin, cross-sectional x-rays that
produce a 3-D image

Diagnostic ImagingUltrasonographySounds waves bounce off body
structures, computer catches them and makes an image
What is this?

TelemedicineUse of video and
computer systems for interactive healthcare services in different locations.
For example, rural doctors in poor countries can communicate with specialists in medical centers across the globe.

Medical RoboticsNext time you visit a hospital, don't be surprised if a small robot passes you in the hallway on its way to pick up or deliver patient samples. RoboCourier is a self-navigating utility robot designed to remove the grunt work of distributing and collecting patient samples through a hospital. This removes the burden of the tedious and menial task of pushing a medical cart around, which is currently performed by trained medical personnel, a scarce and valuable resource.Photo courtesy of CCS Robotics
There are many different uses for medical robotics.

Medical Robotics The da Vinci Surgical system
◦ A patient-side robotic cart with 4 arms manipulated by the surgeon and a high-definition 3D vision system.
◦ Articulating surgical instruments are mounted on the robotic arms.
◦ The surgeon’s hand movements are filtered to eliminate hand tremor and then translated into micro-movements of the instruments.
◦ The camera used in the system provides a true picture for the surgeon to see his/her work.
◦ The da Vinci System is FDA cleared for a variety of surgical procedures including surgery for prostate cancer, hysterectomy and mitral valve repair.

BioinformaticsUsed extensively in
biotechnology, bioinformatics uses computers to organize biological data in databases.
The Human Genome project was managed using bioinformatics.
The FDA uses bioinformatics in pharmaceutical research.
