Traditional Medicine and Modern Medicine with Information Technology

Abstract

Although modern medicine is well developed in most of the world, large sections of the population in developing countries still rely on the traditional practitioners, medicinal plants and herbal medicines for their primary care. Moreover during the past decades, public interest in natural therapies has increased greatly in industrialized countries, with expanding use of medicinal plants and herbal medicines.
Traditional medicine is a part of traditional East Asian medical systems and has been used for treating various kinds of diseases including cancer for thousands of years, and, recently, increasing emphasis has been focused on the research on traditional medicine. Modern medicine practices are currently criticized by traditional specialist because emphasis is given to modern theories instead of traditional values, to modern concepts instead of human beings, to modern efficiency rather than traditional consciousness. Education system of the world is also operated in this direction. Today prevalent medicine of the world is modern medicine.
Medicine isn’t science, because if it were science, we would get the same diagnosis and treatment from every doctor. Of course it isn’t a pure science; it’s an applied science.
Science is a systematic acquisition of knowledge especially the knowledge that can be precisely measured. Health information system based on computer science. Computer Science is about problem solving. Recent studies continue to support the findings of the systematic reviews that health information (IT) technology improves quality and safety. Health IT will continue to improve the quality and safety of health care beyond the accomplishments realized to date.
