[net.med] Electronic Home Testing Equipment?

bbanerje@sjuvax.UUCP (B. Banerjee) (10/03/85)

Hi,

My Father asked me to find out some information regarding this,
and I, being a software type, don't even know where to begin.

There has undoubtedly been great changes in the diagnostic
mechanisms that are available for medical purposes.  Much of the
familiar procedures for diagnosis have been automated to some
extent or the other.  I have seen digital blood pressure gizmos
and the like.  However, what I'd like to find out about are the
pathological/immunological tests that can be carried automatically
through electronic instrumentation.  Stuff such as blood analysis
or urinalysis etc.

Any light that can be shed on this topic and/or pointers to where
I can find more information will be gratefully received.  Please
reply by mail.  Should demand warrant it, I will post a summary
to this group.

Regards,

				Binayak Banerjee
