Infopathy -the next generation medical science

Posted Oct 24 2009 6:04am
Infopathy (information technology for allopathy) can be defined as an all new understanding and knowledge through which, health professionals can tackle and tame new health ailments. Infopathy is a contemporary technique through which the medical science can have better tools to heal signs and symptoms. All thanks to betterment and advancement in medical science that has enabled us to improve diagnosing and treating the diseases those were otherwise very difficult to handle.

Since information technology has boosted every field in this world, why medical fall behind! Two great minds those have radically influenced IT are Bill Gates of Microsoft and Sergei Brin-Larry Page of the search engine giant –Google. Now, you see things yellow when you are jaundiced, likewise, these big-heads see human diseases as bugs! According to Bill Gates, a disease is like a bug in a software program that can be fixed with a proper patch called medicine. And why not, after all, our life itself is determined by the software in the form of genetic codes!

The other story of Brin, generally not so out-spoken to the world tells about his mother who suffers from Parkinson’s disease. He has inherited a gene called LRKK 2, which predisposes carriers to familial Parkinson’s disease. He regards his mutation of LRRK 2 as a bug in his personal code and hence, it is no different from the bugs in the code that masters at Google fixes all day! Now this may beckon that IT may come with some solution that can fix health ailments simply by correcting the software of human genetic code.

Today, almost all the diagnostic tools can be connected to the computer and the machine can get you a minutest detail with no error. Why not are the chances of information fusing with allopathy, ayurpathy, and homeopathy or any other –pathy that saves patients’ lives? This, altogether, can be called as Infopathy! There are so many pathies that lack computerization yet! For instance, Ayurveda, the most ancient medicinal science does not have computerized diagnosing and treating technology. The science is totally based on the three humors – Vata, Pitta and Kapha that it says are the main cause for any disease. The treatment depends upon which humor is vitiated and up to what level. Infopathy can fix this! A computer telling Vata, Pitta and Kapha in percentages would be a breakthrough to cure all stubborn diseases.

In past few decades, the pace of discovering newer sciences and technologies truly tells about a bright future and promising invention of Infopathy that would save the mankind from deadly diseases those are incurable till date.
