Week 8 - Using A Database

A database will come in extremely handy with the MD because it will help the owner keep track of all data compiled when use. Every time the owner uses the device, it will store the information in a database based on the date of incident, type of scan, recommendation made, medical treatment referred and more. This would be very similar to the medical history doctors and hospitals keep on patients when they visit.

When the owner takes their MD to the doctor or hospital, that facility will be able to download the data from the MD into their system for storage in their database for future reference and vice versa. With this type of data system, owners of the MD will always have access to their medical history on a continual basis. No longer will owners have to complete paperwork about their medical history. They can simply bring in the MD and download it for the medical professional, regardless of location.

Medical professionals will be able to see what doctors owners have visited, the addresses and phone numbers of those physicians and what the purpose was for the visit. An extremely efficient and accurate system.
