Modern scientific inventions have shown their effects in every field of human life. The developments in
cyber technology in the form of various software for chatting, mailing and record keeping have made
personal and official correspondence easier. As far as medical matters are concerned, due to computergenerated technologies, patient’s records are now saved with the help of especially developed software
instead of saving data in paper-based filing system. The advantage is that all the patient's records are
categorized and compiled which makes it easier to keep them safe and access them when needed. In
addition, the patient's ailment history is constantly listed and updated, which helps with his/her future
treatments easier. The another benefit of relying on online records is that medical experts do not have to
rely on patients to provide data nor it requires heavy paperwork for the maintenance of patient’s record
both by the patient and by the health providers. This feature of technological development looks very
attractive in the world of healthcare but it has its own disadvantages. The recent study analyses the
benefits and draw backs of the adaptation of this advanced method of record keeping as it involves the
hazards of data alteration, hacking and identity theft. These problems are discussed in reference with
ethical notions of personal integrity and individuality.
