TECHNOLOGY FOR HEALTH

Posted: May 6, 2011 in Uncategorized

Technology has a big role in every people’s lives, it made our work more convenient, easier, less time consuming and also gives us a long life, you know why technology give us a long life? Now a days, latest technology are applied in several hospitals worldwide, most of them are now using EHR system in admitting, prescribing medication and even consultation and it is through internet. It is very convenient to a patient when using this kind of technology because for example, a client is in need for a checkup and that client was amputated, so it is hard for him to go personally to the hospital for his checkup, but if you’re using this kind of technology, in just a few clicks in your computer you will be checked up by your doctor through internet and it is also convenient for the doctor because instead of going to his clinic, he will just stay and sit in front of the computer and there he can checkup his client. Next is using PDAs or personal digital assistance, before when this technology are not existing the nurses and doctors are using papers in charting and in prescribing medication, in that case using papers are time consuming, has inaccurate administration of medication to the patient and sometimes when the doctors are prescribing medication, there are times that the nurse cannot understand the handwriting of the doctors that causes wrong administration of medication for patient that may lead to long time confinement in the hospital and can affect their current disease, but now with the use of technology like PDAs, no papers, more convenient and very reliable because aside from you can understand the doctor’s order that is prescribe through internet and they will not use pen and papers to write their prescription, the administration of medication is very accurate, there is a device use before the administration, the medication is scanned first so that you can know if that medication is for the right patient and if that medication is not for the patient the scanner will detect it, aside from that you will also know the right dosage of the medication, so it is very convenient and very reliable right? I wish there are new technology that will be able to use in the hospital that can help more people regarding to their health needs and make their lives longer.

HEALTH IS WEALTH! PROMOTE HEALTH WITH THE AID OF “TECHNOLOGY”!

One of the biggest problems of Philippine government is the increasing rate of poverty in our country. Less job opportunities, food and oil price hike, low family income are some of the reason of the increasing rate of poverty but for my own opinion, overpopulation is the major reason of it, having a big number of family members are the closest cause of poverty, they cannot sustain their everyday needs for each of the family member because of unavailability of a decent job or having a less income that can’t support their needs, but I have a solution to stop the overpopulation and prevent the continuous increase of poverty rate in our country, It’s RH Bill. One of the content of RH Bill is family planning that includes contraceptive methods; it can help to reduce the birth rate in a family that causes overpopulation. Contraceptive method can prevent the sperm cell of males and egg cell of females to meet because when the sperm and egg cell meet inside the reproductive organ of females they will later develop as a baby inside the mother’s womb.

The word “prevent” is not synonymous for “killing” the catholic church stand for using this method shows that using this method of preventing is a way of killing one’s life, they say that sperm and egg cells are the victim of this method, for me they doesn’t have a life yet they are only a part of a humans’ lives, so if they are saying that contraception can “kill” those cells then I consider that all teenagers, young adult, adult or even some of the elderly males are “killers” because it is a nature and normal for the males to “masturbate” and if the orgasm occur the semen will ejaculate from the males reproductive organ and the one content of semen are millions of sperm cells and in a matter of seconds the sperm cell will die if they are exposed to air, so we kill millions of it and “killing” is a mortal sin. “Killing” is only when the two cell are develop and formed as fetus then you terminate it and try to remove from your womb, that is already “killing” and it is called “Abortion”

Through RH Bill, it can lessen the problems of the government with regards to the health of the Filipinos by preventing the spreading of AIDS in our country, it is very threatening that the number of Filipinos who are positive in AIDS is increasing, the usual victim of this syndrome are teenagers, they’re very active in engaging with sex maybe because of curiosity and lack of parents’ guidance, aside from AIDS they will also acquire various of sexually transmitted disease and infection but through RH Bill, those diseases will be prevented by using contraceptives and education regarding sex, enough knowledge regarding these topic can lead to a healthier life and a problem free living.
