Neural networks for the benefit of mankind in health

Mankind has found many ways to make life easy by using IT. Among those inventions Artificial Neural Network has a special place in which it simulates the the biological neural network of human brain.

There are many applications which uses ANNs for the benefit of mankind. Among them Health applications play a leading role because most of the health application's purpose is to predict a probable future outcome which will help humans to avoid it. Neural applications are being used most of the time because of its capability to predict accurately the outcome from the set of past data.

Heart monitoring, ECG analysis is a well known application which uses ANN to identify the pattern of the ECG to recognize an probable condition earlier which will eventually support, supporting the patient with the medical assistance which would be needing in order to overcome the situation.

Another very useful application is prediction of future patients information based on particular geographical location based on the past patient information of that area. This concept is actually implemented by the hSenid Mobile Solutions as IDEWS. (Infectious Diseases Early Warning System). Here the possible patient information of epidemic diseases such as Dengue is informed to relevant authorities, enabling taking precautions. The heart of this system make use of an ANN. And it is actually proven the accurate predictions of ANN.

So anyways there may be so many health related applications that would be developed using ANNs in the future which would become ultimately a life saver.
