I still recollect those olden golden days when we used
to breath without internet around as a major part of fresh air. In those golden
days visits to doctors were minimal because of many reasons very well known to
all of us. But in rare conditions when we used to visit the medical
professionals doctors used to insist patients to carry his / her medical
records, prescriptions, (yellow or any other) card if any etc. to name a few.
Those were the days when medical health record keeping was absolutely not known
to medical fraternity as far as OPD is concerned. Then slowly I guess the
concept of maintaining hard copy of records began, but again was on very small
scale. This could be due to doctors were blessed with huge memory and the
concept of family doctors going on generations together used to help easy
diagnosis by doctors. There were many more reasons including no law related to
data saving and crunching.
But today doctors and as well as all individuals are
so much into keeping records as its done automatically not only by their IoT
enabled smart watch, smart phone, yoga laptops and cloud storage as well as
varied online web services too. This transition from no to huge records is
little irritating for me. Every individual feels that they now know everything
about their inner world too, precisely in digits with awesome visualizations.
So did this huge data crunching is really helping individuals at large? I have
my own doubts. If every minute details about health is known, then why mental
health issues, stress and other things are increasing, especially in physically
fit young people? As I am not aware of it, seeking answers from my readers
please.
