Visualization Software of IBM for Electronic Health Records...

Currently being tested in Denmark...click and view patient information based on using an avatar representation of the patient...software like this would really be useful on mobile tablet units, especially with being able to switch between both a touch screen and digitizer to add notes as needed to the chart...BD

Its like Google Earth for the body, said IBM Researcher Andre Elisseeff, who leads the healthcare projects at IBMs Zurich Research Lab. In hopes of speeding the move toward electronic healthcare records, weve tried to make information easily accessible for healthcare providers by combining medical data with visual representation, making it as simple as possible to interact with data that can improve patient care.

The ASME 3-D avatar will allow doctors to “click” on the 3-D avatar of the human body–here the spine–and instantly see all the available medical history and information related to that patient’s spine, including text entries, lab results and medical images such as radiographs or MRIs.
