bed beeping systems, emergency alarm systems, X-ray
machines and several such medical appliances is
based on computer logic.
Computers in Medicine
 Computer software is used for diagnosis of
diseases. It can be used for the examination of
internal organs of the body. Some of the complex
surgeries can be performed with the aid of
computers. The different types of monitoring
equipment in hospitals are often based on
computer programming.
 Medical imaging is a vast field that deals with the
techniques to create images of the human body
for medical purposes.
 Computer networking enables quicker
communication.
Computers & Robotics
