DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION OF ELECTRONIC DIAGNOSIS SYSTEM– A STUDY OF GENERAL HOSPITAL ISHIAGU

INTRODUCTION: Since the introduction of electronic devices into the medical world, the functions and operations of the medical world have been easy with most of the electronica device that are in place to assist the medical personnel in there diagnosis and analysis of patients in various medical illness. Now doctors and nurses or any medical personnel can now carry out a test on a patients and get the analysis from the device used in diagnosing the patience which are electronic apparatus or device, giving numerous advantages over the previous daces of manual means of disease and illness.There is a wide array of electronic devices used to test and diagnose patients.Below is an insight explanation of the differences and different types of equipment used by medical experts or medical technicians for diagnosis.

Digital Mammographic X-ray System

Digital Mammographic X-ray System, Brestige is a full field digital mammography system used for screening and diagnosing breast cancer.

Medical Handpiece(For Dental Laboratory)

MICRO-NX produces products that are used in clinic and dental laboratory. Their main product is Handpiece that is main material for making implant

Thermometer

The practical development of a thermometer suitable for measurement of body temperature dates back to 1625. Whilst internal sounds from the body have been observed by physicians since the time of the Romans, the stethoscope dates back to the 19th Century, in a form reasonably similar to the present.

Advantage of electronic diagnosis system

Improved diagnosis and treatment

Significantly fewer errors found within personal health records

Faster care and decision making responses from assigned medical professionals

Improved results management and patient care with a reduction in errors within your medical practice

Reduced operational costs such as transcription services and overtime labor expenses

The development of electronics, and particularly that of computers has made possible many of the technologies which we shall examine.

Firstly, computers are the central elements involved in processing signals in many cases, and particularly those obtained from images. The special nature of the processing required to obtain the image improvements required and the consequential flexibility in their application mean that the complexity of the algorithms for processing would be excessive unless software was used for managing the process. Medical image processing frequently requires that different views may need to be synthesised in the examination of a condition relating to eachparticular patient. The exact form of the views may be difficult to predict, so computers provide the ideal platform for their analysis.

Secondly the increasing use of computers in medical applications has led to an ever increasing capability to retain medical data. This may be used to facilitate health care planning and to provide for a reliable storage of patient related data which may be readily recovered. They also provide the ability to communicate data using standardised mechanisms which we may expect will increasingly allow data to be acquired in one location and viewed at another.

Finally computers have potential for providing us with systems which mimic the diagnostic processes employed by physicians. Pilot systems which can provide some diagnostic assistance have been tried for a number of years in certain areas both within and outside medicine.
