E-health system in India as well as in other countries is confronted with growing demand for medical treatment and services. The medical records must suitably have all of the medical history of the patients. Medical doctors should have proper records, since this can help doctors as well as patients in various situations. The present investigation attempts to unearth the usage and effects of Information and Communication Technology among medical doctors in the field of medicine to enhance their profession in Tamil Nadu, India. In this endeavor, the primary task of the researchers is to apply the appropriate technique to identify individuals, who will constitute the sample for the present study and also develop a reliable instrument to measure the perception of the respondents and the uses and effects of Information and Communication Technology in the field of medicine. The researcher is bestowed with the onerous task of identifying the right samples that are medical doctors and the right place where they work (government, private and own clinic) to collect reasonably representative data. This deals with the procedure adopted for developing the psychometric instrument (questionnaire), which has been used to elicit information on the uses and effects of information and communication technology by the medical doctors in the field of medicine. The results of the study reveal the major patterns of the usage of medical database management system. However, the stage also points out the grey areas, especially in the government sector, the need for proper implementation, diffusion and adoption of ICT.Keywords

This study aims to investigate the association of ICT tools with medical doctors for their professionals. A total of 427 respondents from Tamil Nadu state were surveyed using questionnaire method. The aim of this research is to examine the adoption of ICT by medical doctors in the field of medicine to enhance their profession. Since, India is one of the fastest developing nations in the world; India has understood the potential of diffusion of ICTs in the e-health for its rapid growth. This study also found that age, gender, education and occupation has statistically significant association among the adoption of Information and Communication Technology.Keywords

Information and Communication Technology has a clear impact on the students’ knowledge, attitude and skill sets. Apart from traditional classroom teaching, ICT provides a virtual learning experience as it would enable technology mediated learning among teachers and students. When multimedia teaching aids are used in classrooms, it elicits student’s attention, understanding capacity and memory. It helps them to understand the concept in depth and brings focus to the topic. Mobile phone and social media usage has become inevitable in today’s life. The ubiquity of smartphones made easy access of multimedia teaching aids as it user friendly and convenient (anytime, anywhere learning). The extensive popularity of social media like whatsapp, facebook, twitter, youtube, google+, linkedin, instagram and others among college students has brought a major shift in their academic performance. Apart from classroom learning, these social media provide a platform for innovative and collaborative learning experience. Students opt these technologies to assist their academic-oriented communication with their fellow learners and teachers. The aim of the present study is to develop and standardize a questionnaire to measure the college students’ attitude towards social media and their academic performance. List of 52 items were generated (with reference) from various studies and a survey was conducted among 119 respondents. Exploratory factorial analysis was performed and the result shows that there are four underlying factors—exposure, communication, addictiveness and accessibility in students’ attitude towards social media which influences their academic performance in college.Keywords
