and e-penyata gaji & laporan.



Health care

Nearly every area of health care uses computer for
various purpose, which is the doctors and 
the hospitals use IT to maintain and access 
patients record, store personal health history 
including prescription and lab test report. The 
doctors also use e-mail to correspond with 
patients. example of application are Telemedicine 
(Health-care professionals in separate 
locations conduct live conferences on the 
computer regarding their patients), Telesurgery 
(Surgery in which a surgeon performs an operation
on a patient who is not located in the same 
physical room as the surgeon by directing the robots to perform operations via 
computers), Medline (These Web sites also maintain lists of doctors and dentists to help you 
find the one that suits your needs. They have chat rooms, so that you can talk to others 
diagnosed with similar conditions. Some Web sites even allow you to order prescriptions 
online) and Counter Registration System 

Science

Breakthroughs in surgery, medicine and treatments often 
result from scientist’s use of computer. They use computer 
to assist them with collecting, analyzing, and modelling 
data. Scientists also use the internet to communicate with 
collageues around the world

Example

• A cochlea implant
• an electrodes implant
• a neural network

Publising

The process of making work available to public. This work include books, magazines,

newspaper, music, video and film. Many publishers make their works available online & some

built-in navigation systems

Example: 

• Car Navigation System by Global Positioning System (GPS).
• Automatic roaming by Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM)
• Online Intelligence Transportation IS (ITIS)
• Online reservation.

Manufacture

Latest technology have helped in manufacturing

process more effective. The usage are reduce 

product development costs, shorten a product's

time to market and stay ahead of the 

competitions. For example, computer-aided

manufacturing (the use of computer software to 

control machine tools and related machinery in

manufacturing of work pieces), computer-aided 

design (the use of computer assist in creation,

modification,analysis, or optimization of design)

and a bar code system.
