IBM and hospital cooperation with 3D human body model for medical records

It is reported that IBM is working with Denmark hospital cooperation experiment an innovative application: using the 3D model of the human body to render the patient's medical history.

This technology allows doctors and other staff can take advantage of 3D human body model, a glance to know the latest status of patients, and the accessibility of electronic medical records, and various related medical information.

Full suite of software provides an IBM Zurich Research Laboratory (IBM's Zurich Research Laboratory) and Denmark IBM experts cooperation established medical information center, physicians can do 3D human body model of the human body rotation, zoom in/out, and so on, in order to view the information you need.

While various angle check patient's organs or loops, muscles and nerves and other systems. Model is marked with the symbol in the human body model prompt physicians where relevant medical information.

Cooperation with IBM is located in northern Denmark Thy-Mors Hospital, the hospital has nearly 11000 beds, each year more than 65000 outpatients.

IBM said that in fact the hospital has established a comprehensive electronic medical record system, but with the standards of medical data and the increasing and complex, and operation mode not friendly at all and let the whole electronic medical record system faces great challenges.

The parties therefore in 2008 began the pilot scheme.

This experiment is in addition to let doctors can visually for more information, see the consultation, the accident was not the past electronic patient record benefits.

The Director of the hospital's surgical clinic, this Hardy Christoffersen represents a set of tools you can glance understanding of patient status, you can see more additional information.

In the past, those data may have to spend much time searching for existing medical record data.
