Computer technology has definitely made life much easier for doctors. One of the newest developments has come from IBM researchers in Zurich, Switzerland helps doctors to analysis medical data of patients using a 3D avatar of the human body. The Anatomic and Symbolic Mapper Engine (ASME) offers an interactive 3D model of the human body that displays health information at a glimpse so doctors can visualize the medical histories of their patients and thereby improve care. Each patient’s records are organized visually so when a patient complains of chest pain, the doctor can click on the avatar chest and see all relevant records including text entries, lab results and medical images such as radiographs or MRIs.

The software also uses SNOMED, the systemized nomenclature of medicine that encompasses approximately 300,000 medical terms. SNOMED helps to create a bridge between graphical concepts and text documents.
