E-Tools? • Technology in the healthcare sector is always on the move,

and more often than not this results in better and more complete healthcare.

• From innovations in vaccines and cures for diseases, to more innovative ways to keep us healthy, technology has provided us a wealth of benefits.

• One relatively recent development is the opportunity for teaching patients using computerized tools.

• Technology has enabled healthcare workers to give patients a clearer and more in-depth understanding of their illnesses and what that means for them, teaching them ways to improve their health and much more!

• Technology is opening up a whole new world for educating patients.

Analyzing Patient Progress

• With the latest test creation software that exists, doctors and nurses can create simple tests that help ascertain patients’ cognitive abilities. – It is especially useful for analyzing and testing the ability of patients

recovering from head trauma or brain surgery to have them complete complex puzzles or simple word games. This helps evaluate how patients are progressing with recovery while identifying areas to focus on.

– Advancements in the use of question banks in modern exam generator software have provided new opportunities for assessing cognitive abilities.

• As questions can be randomized on tests every time they are created, healthcare professionals can properly assess the ability of the patient to actually recall information, instead of relying on pattern recognition.

Analyzing Patient Progress

• Speaking of pattern recognition, there are also ways to make an exam that will test the patient’s recognition of patterns or images.

• These exams will assess the patient’s ability to distinguish between similar patterns, colors, and other visual stimuli.

• Not only are these excellent ways of testing a patient’s recovery progress, but they’re also extremely handy for diagnosing cognitive or visual impairments in patients.

3D Modelling of the Human Body

• There are some great new applications available for mobile phones and tablets that let patients have an in-depth look at the inside of the human body, so they can better understand how their illness is affecting them and where it’s located.

• This way it’s easy for them to get a physical idea of something like an appendectomy or a broken limb and just how it affects the body. There are even specific applications that are designed for children that playfully integrate cartoons to put them at ease about being in the hospital.

3D Modelling of the Human Body

• Other applications host a multitude of animations and videos that demonstrate what certain procedures look like, where they occur, and how they aim to improve your health.

Anything from a simple stitching of a wound to a balloon angioplasty can be viewed and explored in-depth.

3D Modelling of the Human Body

• What technology has mostly served to do in the healthcare sector is bestow more knowledge to both doctors and patients.

• Technology has enabled healthcare practitioners to gather and retain much more information about patients and their histories, while at the same time making it more transparent for patients to understand how their condition is affecting them, and just what it means for their overall health.
