| Abstract | New types of "engaging" embedded systems and devices will greatly assist future medical care, as for Petrasek's envisioned Global Virtual Hospital System. The most effective devices will need to be designed in a "parsimonious" way for their economic use of energy, digital bits, communication time, and in terms of trading more expensive physical structures for less expensive computational ones. At the technological level, each device needs a carefully selected "matched set" of technological tradeoffs between the particular medical and user ends and means. The matched set of choices would carefully make sure that the device "methods" and implementations lead reliably to the device "goals" and purposes. In addition, however, there is a critical user-oriented aspect where the devices will also need to utilize highly "engaging environments" that are not too cumbersome or too tiring to use. People are becoming increasingly sophisticated with regard to the interactive requirements they have for their devices, from their experience with digital media, iPhones, video computer games and other types of environments that "engage" a person's attention for long periods of time, and without annoying delays and frustrations. It is an absolute requirement that the devices incorporate highly engaging environments so that using them does not tire the user or cause unnecessary medical errors and delays. This improved type of portable device, scanners, services and information methods would efficiently and more accurately gather sufficiently detailed medical information from the patient's body, help relay sufficient parts of the patient information electronically to a worldwide net of physicians and relay appropriate results and prescriptions back to the patient. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
