Interactive Technology and the New Paradigm for Healthcare: Vol 18 (Studies in Health Technology and Informatics) - Hardcover
Synopsis
This work contains the state-of-the-art in Virtual Reality as applied to Medicine. Interactive technology, used in many research and development programs, can be applied to health care by involving: robotics, computer vision, simulation, artificial intelligence, image manipulation and storage, data gloves, man-machine interfaces, etc. The Health Telematics Application Program, for example, is advancing virtual reality and enabling technologies (simulation, visualization and robotics) in health care services for patients, the elderly and persons with disabilities. This book addresses the following items from the end-user's perspective: technology transfer, telerobotics, telemedicine, education and training, and virtual reality. 'the book would (...) be useful for those researching interactive technologies in health care, especially virtual reality (...). It would be also of interest to people who want to keep abreast of the latest developments in techno-medical research.' - Rod Elford, Telemedicine Centre, Memorial University St John's, Newfoundland, Canada Journal of Telemedicine and Telecare, volume 2, no. 3, 1996, p. 178 Covered by Current Contents, Life Sciences (ISI), volume 38, no. 34, August 1995, p. 11-13

Synopsis
Health-care provider's skills can be enhanced through teleoperations, advanced software, super-performance hardware and networking, whilst health care itself can be better accessed through remote telemedicine. Costs can be lowered through flexible manufacturing, just-in-time inventory and best-in-class business management. Such improvements may be brought about by the use of interactive technology, which can be applied to health care by involving: robotics; computer vision; simulation; artificial intelligence; image manipulation and storage; data gloves; and man-machine interfaces. Various care programmes are introducing various technologies - such as simulation, visualization and robotics - in health-care services for patients, the elderly and people with disabilities. This book addresses the following from the end-user's perspective: technology transfer; telerobotics; telemedicine; education and training; and virtual reality. It shows the reader how leading-edge interactive technologies will affect the future of medical and surgical practice by improving access, quality and continuity of health care while reducing cost.
