Wireless Medicine & Digital Doctors Part 2
Today there is an application on your smart device for almost everything and that includes for medical doctors. It used to be that medical students and residents alike would have to lug around large charts and handbooks on therapeutics to thumb there way at 2:00 A.M. to diagnose their patient.
Now, all they have to do is push the "app" called "MedCalc" which can digitally upload for all types of diagnosis based on inputting symptoms they are observing. The same goes for the App called, Evernote.
eProcates is another "app" that stores all types of drug dosages for precise usages. ZX Calculate gives risk profiles and if that's not enough today's intern can use his or her electronic stethoscopes that can increase the sounds of the heart beat higher and better acoustic amplitudes.
Even the prestigious journal The Archives of Internal Medicine reveals in one study how residents with Ipads can increase efficiency and the timeliness of doing orders.These technologies are being moderately used , but with new apps being applied to these devices a new type of faster, more efficient and accurate type of medical diagnosis will be integrated to assist practitioners.
