Use of ICT in Healthcare
Scanning, life support, computer controlled equipment
Medical databases
Expert systems
- sensors (analogue and digital), data measured and its use
- scanning devices; MRI (magnetic resonance image); CAT (computerised axial tomography)
- advantages and disadvantages of scanning devices
- backup and recovery procedures
- new and future developments and limitations.
Medical databases
- electronic patient record keeping (EPR)
- blood bar coding and tracking systems ISBT 128
- use of the Internet, intranets and extranets
- distributed medical databases
- backup and recovery procedures
- new and future developments and limitations.
Expert systems
- Artificial Intelligence
- neural networks and how parallel processors work
- software languages (PROLOG, ASPRIN)
- expert system shells (knowledge base, inference engine, user interface)
- how expert systems work
- medical uses of expert systems e.g. MYCIN, NEOMYCIN etc.
- advantages and disadvantages of expert systems.
