A healthy residential building is being built in Durham, North Carolina, which will be equipped with a "smart toilet" for urine sample analysis, a "smart medical room" for dispensing medicines for different groups of people, and energy-saving and safety measures using high-tech means.
Shortly after entering the next century, middle-income families will enjoy the following health care services:
Get up in the morning and go to the toilet, where you can complete the urine sample analysis and send the information to the doctor's office.
Then standing on the weighing scale, it can tell you the proportion of body fat, tell you how much weight you have gained or lost, and remind you to pay attention to the doctor's instructions on diet. It can also ask if you want to see the recipe. The printer in the kitchen will print out a menu for you to choose from according to the food left in the refrigerator and the fresh food in the storage room. The computer is connected to the store, and you can order any used food, and the ordered food can be delivered to your door in the afternoon.
If you are still in the bathroom, you can press the display to indicate the dose of thyroid medicine. It can also remind you that it's time to buy medicine and make an appointment with a doctor this afternoon.
In the afternoon, you get in touch with the doctor's office through the desktop computer, and the doctor asks you face to face through the computer. The doctor can check all your medical records through another display screen, so that you can talk about the treatment plan; Talk about the progress you have made according to the doctor's diet and physical exercise methods, and talk about your other concerns.
You told the doctor that you felt a sore throat. After you described the symptoms, the doctor arranged an appointment with the nurse in your office building for an hour. During this hour, the doctor will check your medical record, read the medical records of other patients with similar medical history, and browse the latest research results through the computer.
An hour later, you arrived at the nurse station as scheduled. After the nurse contacts the doctor through the computer, she puts the digital stethoscope on your chest, and the doctor auscultates on her own terminal through the stethoscope. Doctors can also obtain other physiological indicators. Then, the nurse picked up a small camera and put it in your mouth so that the doctor could see your throat.
Nothing serious, just a little inflammation. The doctor sends the prescription to the pharmacy by mail, and the medicine will be delivered to your home together with the food you ordered in the morning.
Go back to your desk and keep a diary. Your computer shows that it took you 45 minutes to see a doctor twice today. Send this information to the computer of the personnel department.
