| Abstract | This review covers seven of the major areas of computer applications in medicine circa 1968: medical diagnosis; clinical laboratory; screening; patient monitoring; medical record; automated medical history; and hospital information systems. The emphasis of the review is on functional areas of medical practice and the impact of the technology on these areas rather than on specific computer systems or programs. |
