Medicine Before the 20th Century
• From the earliest documentary evidence surviving from the ancient civilizations of Babylonia, China, Egypt, and India, it is clear that longevity, disease, and death are among humanity's oldest preoccupations. From ancient times to the Renaissance, knowledge of the living world changed little, the distinction between animate and inanimate objects was blurred, and speculations about living things were based on prevailing ideas about the nature of matter

Technology linked to Infectious diseases
•While technology has helped to fight disease and provide a comfortable life for many people, it has also created several problems. For example, there has been a resurgence of infectious diseases over the past several decades that may be linked to technological advances.22-02-2016
Dr.T.V.Rao MD 9
Technology helps to get current information on Health and Disease
•Medical treatments are continually changing and students writing research papers on the latest treatment for a disease or disorder need to have the most current research. Paper Masters provides the most up-to-date research and references in medical health research papers for nursing students, premed students and healthcare professionals.

Early Use Newer Diagnostic Methods
• Among the first of the rapid diagnostic approaches was immunoassay detection of group A streptococcal antigen in patients with pharyngitis.14 These systems are intended for use in primary care or other ambulatory care settings; they provide results within minutes and are highly specific. Their greatest drawbacks are cost and lack of sensitivity
22-02-2016
Dr.T.V.Rao MD 11
Automated and Semi Automated systems
• Automated and semi automated systems have been available for some years but without full realisation of their potential for rapid diagnosis. They fall into two main groups: identification and susceptibility testing instruments and blood culture systems22-02-2016
Dr.T.V.Rao MD 12
Partial Control of Infectious Disease
• The control of communicable disease has been the major advance of the 20th century in scientific medicine. It reflects the combination of improved environmental conditions and public health together with the development of immunization, antimicrobial chemotherapy, and the increasing ability to identify new pathogenic organisms.
22-02-2016
Dr.T.V.Rao MD 13
Partial Control of Infectious Disease
• Currently, live or killed viral or bacterial vaccines—or those based on bacterial polysaccharides or bacterial toxoids—are licensed for the control of 29 common communicable diseases worldwide. The highlight of the field was the eradication of smallpox by 1977.

Dr.T.V.Rao MD 14
Emerging High Technologies shape the Future
• Those brief examples of the effect of high-technology practice against completely different backgrounds of the provision of health care reflect the emerging pattern of medical practice in the 20th century. In particular, they emphasize how the rapid developments in high-technology medical practice and the huge costs that have accrued may have dwarfed expenditure on preventive medicine, certainly in some industrial countries and others that have gone through the epidemiological transition22-02-2016
Dr.T.V.Rao MD 15
Information Technologyin Medicine
• The explosion in information technology has important implications for all forms of biomedical research, clinical practice, and teaching. The admirable desire on the part of publicly funded groups in the genomics field to make their data available to the scientific community at large is of enormous value for the medical application of genomic research

Dr.T.V.Rao MD 16
Medical technology Shaping the Future of Human Life for Better living
•Medical technology is a broad field where innovation plays a crucial role in sustaining health. Areas like biotechnology, pharmaceuticals, information technology, the development of medical devices and equipment, and more have all made significant contributions to improving the health of people all around the world. From “small” innovations like adhesive bandages and ankle braces, to larger, more complex technologies like MRI machines, artificial organs, and robotic prosthetic limbs, technology has undoubtedly made an incredible impact on medicine.
22-02-2016
Dr.T.V.Rao MD 17
Medical Equipment Technology• Improving quality of life is one
of the main benefits of integrating new innovations into medicine. Medical technologies like minimally-invasive surgeries, better monitoring systems, and more comfortable scanning equipment are allowing patients to spend less time in recovery and more time enjoying a healthy life.

Dr.T.V.Rao MD 19
Technology and Medical Research
• These vaccines against life-threatening diseases like malaria, polio, MMR, and more prevent the spread of disease and save thousands of lives all around the globe. In fact, the World Health Organization estimates that vaccines save about 3 million lives per year, and prevent millions of others from contracting deadly viruses and diseases
22-02-2016
Dr.T.V.Rao MD 20
Burden of Infection • Infectious diseases remain a
significant contributor to the burden of disease in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Leading communicable diseases from AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria to diarrheal diseases, measles, and lower respiratory infections claim upwards of eleven million lives in these countries each year
22-02-2016
Dr.T.V.Rao MD 21
How the World reduces Infections with Technology
• The attainment of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) is closely entwined with progress in reducing the burden of infectious diseases. MDG 6 focuses on combating HIV/AIDS, malaria and other diseases while steps towards meeting MDG 4 (reducing child mortality), MDG 5 (improving maternal health) and MDG 7C (improving basic sanitation and sustainable access to safe drinking water) also relate to the treatment of infectious diseases.
22-02-2016
Dr.T.V.Rao MD 22
How the World reduces Infections with Technology
•MDG 8E (providing access to affordable essential drugs in developing countries in cooperation with pharmaceutical companies) and MDG 8F (making available benefits of new technologies, especially information and communications, in cooperation with the private sector) not only align with these goals, but also suggest instrumental means for accomplishing them.

Need for Technology for managing Ageing population
1Chronic Disease is the most important healthcare issue and cost driver in our healthcare system . 2The management of chronic disease requires a fundamental transformation in the way care is delivered3. To support this business transformation the technology infrastructure needs to evolve to support One-Person-One-Record and Evidence Based Coordinated Care4. This will require the change from a simple hub-and-spoke platform to a sophisticated ehealth platform that can provide electronic health record, as well as chronic disease data and services
22-02-2016
Dr.T.V.Rao MD 28
Electronic Medical Records• The electronic medical record, a
type of HIT, is supposed to reduce medical errors by tracking such data as prescriptions, tests and medical procedures in a single, accessible system. However, many physicians, especially in emergency rooms, have been reluctant to adopt some HIT due to the lack of user-friendly interfaces.
22-02-2016
Dr.T.V.Rao MD 29
Medical Technology and The Law
• As technology in the world of healthcare continues to evolve, rules and regulations concerning its use must be established and adjusted to adapt to the new methods of administering care. Regulations like HIPAA and its Privacy and Security Act target the concerns about the confidentiality of patient information and the steps that must be taken to maintain privacy in our digital world.22-02-2016

How Center for Disease Control Shaping the future of
Communication • The use of IT is now pervasive and
critical to virtually all CDC activities, including the support of CDC’s collaborative relationships with partners or vendors in healthcare, public health, life sciences, and information technology . However, since 2005, this rapid growth in spending has levelled off and has remained nearly constant as overall Federal IT spending has continued to increase .
22-02-2016
Dr.T.V.Rao MD 35
IT operations and infrastructure • Computing and communication
assets and services form the foundation of CDC’s information and informatics programs . These services enable CDC’s public health mission and vision of promoting health and the quality of life by bringing the power and advantage of IT infrastructure to the challenges faced by CDC and its public health partners . This goal area addresses robust, reliable, and secure computing and communications .22-02-2016
Dr.T.V.Rao MD 36
The Negative Side of Technology
Vision problems • People who spend hours in front of the computer (either at work or leisure) are prone to asthenopia. Of course, you will say your computer screen is of high quality and I agree: some monitors affect us more than others. If you are still using a CRT type (the one that is not flat and has a large thing behind it), please get rid of it.22-02-2016
Dr.T.V.Rao MD 37
Advanced Technology Influents the Future of Microbiology
• It seems certain is that the advanced techniques will increasingly change and enhance the research and practice of medical microbiology.
