Medical Science
Before the advent of computers, those who fell ill in remote areas had to be carried for long distances in a
cot or charpoy. With the advent of computers and information technology, such patients have started getting
basic treatments from distance. Information technology has made health care on the whole, not only more
organised but also safer, reliable and more accessible with the introduction of:
elemedicine: Information technology and telecommunication are now used to provide health care to
people living in far-off distances.
Computer Controlled Medical Devices: The diagnosis of diseases is now possible with computer-
controlled devices like ultrasonography, CT scan, -rays, EC , etc.
Computeri ation o ospital Management ystem: Hospitals are using computers to maintain real-
time data on bed availability, doctors and other staff on duty, generation of accurate bills of patients, etc.
Digital atient ecords: Medical records of patients are maintained electronically for quick reference and
access instead of being archived in paper files like in the past.
Computeri ed a s: Today, Modern diagnostic laboratories have computerized devices to test samples
and infer accurate results.
Computeri ed harmacies: Computers are now able to check vital details like the composition of
medicines, expiry dates, inventory, etc. in pharmacies.
Museum and Library
Earlier, records of priceless items of museums and libraries were maintained in handwritten registers. It used
to be a time taking activity for curators and librarians to trace the records or location of any artifact or book
within the museum or library premises. ow computers have enhanced the way in which museums and
libraries are accessed.
rac ing o esources: The updated records are fed into computers and visitors can trace their requirements
or areas of interest themselves from user terminals located in libraries and museums.
Digital istorical Data: Records of objects in the museum like the discovery date, location of the
excavation, relevance of that object in the historic times and other such details which may interest the
visitors are electronically maintained.
Boo ssue ecords: Records of issue, renewing and return of books and CDs are maintained with more
accuracy in libraries.

search the shelf it is in with data recorded on the computer.
nline Access to Boo s: One can read e-Books, newspapers, journals and research papers in soft copy
