Study Notes
Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation
- Physiatry aims to regain functional abilities and combat disabilities through Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation.
- NCS (Neuro-Controlled Stimulation) involves electrical stimulation to peripheral nerves and can be conducted remotely.
- Active Prevention is achievable through technology, which provides mechanisms for early detection of potential risks, such as contractures and deformities.
Healthcare Access for Rural Areas
- Telecare is suitable for rural areas due to its ability to:
- Bring medical and healthcare technology to people everywhere.
- Provide efficient and affordable services with easy access.
- Offer healthcare services beyond traditional locations like clinics and hospitals.
Telemedicine for Personal Health
- Telemedicine provides benefits for personal health, including:
- Dietary monitoring
- Massaging devices that use reflexology
- Exercise therapies
- Technology-assisted exercise in the gymnasium
- Continued health assessment
Personal Health Concerns Addressed By Telemedicine
- Telemedicine enables continuous health monitoring, particularly for patients with chronic diseases, allowing for:
- Real-time identifications and interventions
- Constant monitoring, especially for those with special needs
- Tracking of nutrition intake
Telecare and Telehealth
- Telecare is a subset of telehealth that focuses on body vital sign monitoring.
- Key features of telecare include:
- Bringing technology and advancing clinical practice together for monitoring and continuous feedback.
- General health assessment and comprehensive coverage of the entire human body.
- Patients can perform their own tests, updating their electronic patient record automatically.
- Automated health surveys and updates to the patient's electronic health record.
Alternative Medicine and Personal Health
- Alternative medicine emphasizes balance and maximizing the efficiency of the body by strengthening the immune system.
- Efforts to maintain health should start with the immune system.
Body Contour and Acupoint
- Acupressure applications require automated systems to identify specific acupoints for specific purposes.
- Computer vision technology governs how machines 'see things' and can benefit the medical and healthcare industry.
Temporary On-Scene Relief Treatment Support
- Telemedicine can provide temporary relief treatment support, such as:
- Acupuncture at the P6 or Neiguan point to relieve motion sickness.
- A searchable and accessible database of acupoints across the Internet.
