Health Information Systems
Health Information Systems
Health information systems (HIS) in underdeveloped countries face many challenges which reduce their effectiveness and accessibility. Some of these challenges include an inappropriate infrastructure, limited local technical capacity for software data collection, limited education, interoperability, and lack of data quality and security. Targeting the limitations in the HIS is crucial for the improvement of the efficiency and quality of care in the medical field globally.
Medical Devices
Medical and Surgical Devices
The application of engineering principles and techniques to design, develop, innovate, and improve medical devices and the quality of healthcare globally. These techniques are used to optimize the performance, safety, and reliability of the devices to make them more affordable and accessible to patients.
