Abstract

Automated multiphasic health testing offers prospects of exciting new adjuncts to conventional techniques for health maintenance or diagnosis in various patient populations. Such testing systems are still in their research phase, although already in operation in some medical practices and hospitals. They are in no sense a substitute for periodic medical examinations, but do present opportunities for improvement of preventive health monitoring in general and specialty medicine. They still present many problems and need adaptation to particular uses. Some of these problems are presented in this article together with some suggested guidelines in the choice of systems, the pitfalls to be overcome, and the desirability of flexibility in planning.
