ABSTRACT:
A computer has become an essential
commodity in every hospital. Everything is
computerized today, from open heart
surgeries to X-rays to various clinical tests.
Everything is carried out efficiently and
effectively by the computer. There are many
advantages of computers that make it a must
have by every medical professional. This
article tells you about the use of computers
in the medical field that would help you
The AbioCor is the world’s first completely
self-contained replacement heart. A product
of three decades of research, development
and testing, the AbioCor is central to
ABIOMED’s mission to make real the day
when heart failure need not mean the end of
life or the ability to enjoy life.
Designed to fully sustain the body’s
circulatory system, the AbioCor is intended
for end-stage heart failure patients whose
other treatment options have been
exhausted.
AbioCor System
The AbioCor System is designed for use by
patients who have irreparably damaged
hearts or who are at risk of imminent death
as a result of end-stage heart failure that
cannot be treated by

understand the wide array of computer
applications used across the medicinal
practice. With a great leap in the field of
science and technology at the beggining of
the 21st century, people were able to witness
the appearance of numerous inventions
some of which are already helping patients
worldwide, while other devices could lead to
serious innovations in the near future.

Patient Specifications
The AbioCor is indicated for use in severe
biventricular end stage heart
disease patients who are not cardiac
transplant candidates and who:
 are less than 75 years old,
 require multiple inotropic support,
 are
not treatable by LVAD
destination therapy, and
 are not weanable from biventricular
support if on such support.

THE BIO-ARTIFICIAL LIVER
After 25 years of intensive research, there is
still no effective treatment for
Fulminant hepatitis. Hepatitis causes more
than one million deaths a year, according to
statistics gathered by the World Health
Organization. And, many of those who
survive the hepatitis develop cirrhosis and
chronic liver failure. The only treatment
available for liver failure is liver transplant
surgery; but donor organs are difficult to
obtain, and the procedure, which is
expensive and complex, is frequently
unsuccessful
Camera Pill

With the invention of this camera pill it
became possible to spot the earliest signs of
caner. he device was developed with the
goal of taking quality, color images in
confined spaces. t can detect early signs of
esophageal cancer, which is the fastest
growing type of cancer in the
United States.According to Eric Seibel, the
lead researcher at the University of
Washington, the pill has a width of an adult
fingernail and is twice as long. uing the new
scanning device is rather cheap due to the
fact that it is small and there is no need of
anesthesia and sedation. More information
about the pill can be found .

EyeWriter

This device was invented to help people
bound to bed communicate. It is the
brainchild of researchers from the Ebeling
Group, the Not Impossible Foundation and
Graffiti Research Lab.
The EyeWriter makes use of low-cost eye-

tracking glasses equipped with open-source
software. Thus it allows people with one of
neuromuscular syndromes to communicate
with others by writing or drawing on the
screen by tracking their eye movement and
converting it to lines on a display.
Tony "Tempt" Quan, graffiti artist from Los
Angeles was the one who has come up with
this invention after being diagnosed with
Lou Gehrig's disease in 2003. More on the
EyeWriter available .

Mind-Reading Device

"Mind-reading" is a term used in psychology
and represents the subconscious detection
and analysis of nonverbal cues, for example
facial expressions and head movements.
These cues allow people to spot each other's
emotional states.

This invention is the brainchild of three
scientists from the MIT Media Lab. The
mind-reading machine scans brain signals of
the user and alerts them to the emotional
state of the individual they are in a
conversation with.
Dubbed, the Emotional Social Intelligence
Prosthetic, the invention was unveiled by
Rana El Kaliouby at the 2006 Body Sensor
Network Conference.
It is worth mentioning that the device could
be used to help people with autism improve
the degree of learning the social cues of
other people. The invention is especially
useful to people diagnosed with Autism
Spectrum Condition (ASC), who often find
it difficult to evaluate the emotions of other
people on their own.

More information on the device can be
found.

Berkeley Bionics eLEGS Exoskeleton

Developed to help people suffering from
paraplegia, the exoskeleton from Berkeley
Bionics, dubbed eLEGS, is one of the most
impressive inventions of the 21st century.
The exoskeleton for paraplegics is an easy to
wear,
artificially
intelligent,
bionic
mechanism that could be used not only by
patients in hospitals, but also at home,
allowing users to stand, walk and even climb
stairs.
The device can be adjusted to fit patients
that are between 5'2" and 6'4" and weight
maximum 220 pounds. More on eLEGS can
be found.
