How computer software has advanced medical technologies By Nisha Danny

Computer softwares has truly revolutionized medical science.Today a department not using a computer software to store medical data is hard to find.The most important use of computer software would be to store medical data and to reuse it for future references.

A pregnant women who has been to a hospital would know how much the computer software helps to find the minute details of her baby in the womb.These days there are colored ultrasound when compared to previous black and white 3D ultrasound pictures.Now there is 4D ultrasound ,which is the latest.The computer software can easily calculate the due date and even add the element of time to 3D pictures.It helps very easily to calculate the approximate birth weight of the baby.A great gift of science that helps mothers these days to see the very first pictures of the newborn even before the baby is born.Again in the initial trimester of pregnancy,the ultrasound computer software can detect Down’s syndromme by just measuring the thickness of skin behind the neck of the fetus.A 20 week scan of pregnancy can help the parents and the doctor to detect the sex of the baby and have a full picture of how the baby is growing.

Medication Administration Records(MAR) uses computer alert systems and barcodes to reduce medication errors.This system avoids errors in medicine administration.Each time,the prescribed medication,dosage and other details are stores to this system which can be used for further reference.This system avoids human errors from the medical officials by administering wrong medications to the patients.Nurses can monitor the effect of pain medications on patients using this record.A data very useful in solving legal disputes arising in case of death of a patient.

Osteoporosis measurement software is used to measure bone mineral density and to monitor osteoporosis .A great gift of computer software that helps patients to begin exercise regime and medications very early to prevent fractures and other problems at the early stages of osteoporosis .
