Healthcare Information Technology for Rural Healthcare Development: Insight into Bioinformatics Techniques

Abstract

Continuous investments made by government of India in healthcare information technology as well as various health care programmers allow a revolution in healthcare and technology sector. This revolution helps in improvement of quality and reduction of cost in this field. However in the present scenario the healthcare systems are still in pitiable condition in many rural areas. Most of the time the lack of effective communication between patient and doctor creates ample of health hazards in rural areas. To avoid the communication gap and early prediction of diseases in rural community a pipeline is modeled in the present study, which is based on human whole genome sequencing to protein sequence and the diagnosis of disease by using different biomarkers and computational techniques. Advances in computational methodologies have ushered of innovations in calculation, visualization and prediction of factors relating to different diseases with novel strategies like protein interactive networks comparative genomics, bioinformatics and different online/offline software and tools. By the help of this studied modeled strategy doctor can easily predict the diseases and refer to the patient for early treatment. The health hazards in rural areas can be minimized with constructive application of this method in health care system.
