A Virtual Body Roadmap?
Here's a new area for IBM - providing doctors with a map of the patients. Touted to be "like Google Earth for the body", the prototype uses an avatar - a 3-D representation of the human body - to allow doctors to visualize patient medical records. IBM Researcher Andre Elisseeff, who leads the healthcare projects at IBM's Zurich lab, said this: "In hopes of speeding the move toward electronic healthcare records, we've 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."
