Heath care records have just gone to the next level, or at least IBM wants it that way. They have developed software that turns medical data into a visual 3D image for doctors.

The Anatomic and Symbolic Mapper Engine allows doctors to look under the skin to review previous injuries, the cardiovascular system and muscle tissue. All this from old text records that are already stored in the system from when you were a wee little one. They can also update via the image itself.

Soon when you go in to complain about the old trick elbow the doc will simply click a few buttons and see all of the scar tissue, previous tension and surgical procedures that have been preformed.

Comprehensive records are hard to compile and review upon examination, especially for a busy office or ER. This truly revolutionary model will allow for better diagnoses and decisions in future actions.
