Computer in Science:
* Data Collection: Scientists use computers to collect data and make hypotheses on the basis of collected data.
* Analysis and Testing of Data: Scientists use computers to analyze collected data and test their hypotheses.
* Collaboratory: Collaboratory is an internet based collaborative laboratory, in which researchersall over the world can workeasily together even at a distance.Scientists use computers to exchange information with their colleagues.
* Simulation of Different Events: Scientists use computers for simulation of complex events. For example, they can use computer simulation to predict about the affects of earthquake on buildings in a particular area. They may use computer simulation to know the effects of rapid population increase on weather conditions.
* Space Science: Computers are playing an important role to explore the outer space. Computers are used to operate certain machines and robots to collect information from space and send it back on earth.
* Pre Modeling: Scientists and researchers are able to use computer programs to model how data might manifest itself in the future. This ability is useful in predicting climate patterns and simulating how engineered products might perform in the field.
Computer in Medicine:
* Hospital Administration: We can computerize the accounting, payroll and stock system of the hospital. We can keep the record of different medicines. Appointments can be scheduled. Billing information can also be stored.
* Recording Medical History Of Patients: Computer can be used to store the medical history of the patients. Doctors may better prescribe the medicines on the basis of the medicines used in past for a particular patient and the results obtained. Database Management System software is used to store Patients records efficiently.
* Monitoring Systems: Many computerized devices are used to monitor the blood pressure, heartbeat and brain of the patients. Computers guide in some surgical operations, too. For example in laparoscopic surgery, the surgeon inserts the medical tools and a small camera, and conducts the operation with the help of computers and monitors. Computers also monitor heart rates, pulse rates and brain readings.
* Diagnosis of Diseases: Computers are being used to diagnose diseases with the help of software. There are some Medical Software to diagnose diseases and prescribe medicine on the basis of symptoms.
* Life Support system: Life support systems are used to help disabled persons, for example hearing aid device for deaf people which uses computer technology to help the disable people, to overcome their disabilities.
* Clinical Image Processing: Computers play an important role in all types of clinical image processing like CT scan and ultrasound. Ultrasound uses sound waves that bounce off body parts, producing echoes. A computer translates the echoes into images, showing broken bones, muscle problems, or changes in organs, accurately
