• EMR• Assessment• Documentation

Patient Monitoring

Patient Monitoring Machine

Medical LaboratoryAnalyze blood and urine sample• Test for disease and genetic

disorder.Runs Specimens.

EchocardiogramRevels heart problems

• Valves problems• Defects in heart wall

Computerized Tomography(CT)Computerized body scanner

Shows crosssection views

Allows to see bones and tissues

Helps us to find tumors

Magnetic Resonance Imaging(MRI)Uses nuclear magnets instead of x-ray

Converts activities of hydrogen ions into a picture

Allows to see tumor and blood circulation

Ultrasonography

Uses high frequency sound waves

Use espcially during pregnancy

Pacemakers

Pacemaker

Key-hole Surgery

Operations performed inside the body without highly invasive surgery

Usually assisted by robotic arms

Nanobot

Molecular scale robotsProgramed to delivered medicine and destroy specific cells

Act as defense mechanism

Future possibilities• Silicon computer

chips may be used to repair nerve damage or muscle fiber

• Feeling of pain can be reduced using virtual reality helmets

Disadvantage

Without the doctor supervision, anyone may take wrong medication through the internet
