Very briefly discuss the application of Augmented reality, Analytics, Social networking
and block chain technologies in AIIMS with specific examples. Your answer should not
exceed 300 words per case.
A medical institution of such large scale certainly requires utilising the latest
technological development to augment and improve its operational, functional, and
administrative efficiency and effectiveness. The application of augmented reality,
Analytical, Social networking and Block Chain technologies are enumerated in
succeeding paragraphs.
Augmented Reality (AR). Augmented reality (AR) is the real-time use of information
in the form of text, graphics, audio and other virtual enhancements integrated with
real-world objects. It is this “real world” element that differentiates AR from virtual
reality. AR integrates and adds value to the user’s interaction with the real world,
versus a simulation.
The role of AR is to enhance the user's perception of and interaction with real
environment and make a task easier to perform. Currently vision, hearing and touch
can be satisfactorily augmented. The cardinal role of AR is in visual augmentation.
The key concepts in augmenting vision are adding computer generated graphics to
the real vision. This can be direct (optic see-through and projective) or indirect (video
see through). Thus, the computer-generated images (virtual objects) are blended to
the real environment. Preservation of real word optical resolution and 3D visualization
are the most attractive features of this technology.
(d) Hiding details, like making the superficial structures transparent while
doing a radiologically guided needle biopsy.
AIIMS generates a tremendous amount of data these large scale data can be analyzed
and converted into insights that improve patient outcomes and operational efficiencies.
Data analytics will help the doctors’ overcome obstacles to the widespread application
of data-derived intelligence in following ways: -
(a) Making healthcare data easier to share among colleagues and external
partners, and easier to visualize for public consumption.
(d) Another use can be of utilizing the data to carryout research on new
diseases and finding out the efficacy of the newly developed vaccines. For
example, the current COVID-19 pandemic the analytics may be used to
generate insights into the effectiveness of various COVID vaccines.
Social Networking. The services and technologies that constitute the society of the
internet are used extensively by enterprises. Social network is a social structure made
of individuals or organizations associated with one or more types of interdependence
(friendship, common interests, work, knowledge, prestige, etc.) which are the “nodes”
of the network. Social networking sites like Facebook and LinkedIn can be extensively
used by AIIMS for providing post treatment follow-ups, remote medical care, tele-
medicine and creating medically support self-help groups.
There are three distinct emerging user groups in social networking for health care.
These three user groups are identified as follows: -
Each of these distinct user groups has different objectives for using social networking
for healthcare. They also have unique benefits and issues for each type of social
networking for healthcare as well as having some in common. Social media and social
networking in health care have evolved and matured over time with many forms of
participation and contributions from the different stakeholders within health care.
Broadly, social media has been used in health care as a communication channel to
inform, educate and promote knowledge exchange among the different participants
within health care.
Firstly, AIIMS can utilise the D2D social network site for the explicit use of their
physicians. In this forum physicians’ will bring together their common knowledge along
with their individual experiences and specialized knowledge to embed and share within
the community on the Social Networking Sites (SNS). Social networking can be an
effective tool for teaching and learning for doctors. Doctors can use SNS as a medium
to consult with their colleagues on different healthcare questions or issues.
Secondly, AIIMS can utilise the Doctor to Patient (D2P) Social Network Sites (SNS) to
be used and shared by both doctors and patients as participants. Doctors have various
degrees of interaction with patients by blogging, answering general questions posted,
or having a secure private conversation with individual patients. Patients gain clinical
knowledge as well as emotional support from the community and may also have the
ability to gain social connections with other patients for various forms of support.
Block Chain Technologies. Blockchains are software that enable the creation of
what are called public ledgers that are a record of transactions mentioned on a widely
distributed clients and servers.
And. The data of month wise revenue, store, Group (milk, Ice cream, fruit and cereals) were analyzed, and the following report has
been generated.
Overall, it is analyzed that the South store is performing better than other three stores. Also, the administration needs to focus on the performance of
east and North store.
