    Role of Information Technology in Ayurveda in the Digital Age
    (INFLIBNET Centre, 2005-02-02) Nair, G Hemachandran
    The present practice of Ayurveda emphasizes on traditional way. The globalisation, patent, intellectual property rights issues and biopiracy are becoming major challenges in the indigenous traditional medical system like Ayurveda. So there is going to be crises and challenges in the Ayurveda system. In order to promote as a global medicine and equip Ayurveda to meet the global healthcare needs of the 21st century, there is an urgent need to modernise the ancient system in pace with the development of science and technology. So considering all these facts, Ayurveda is needed to restructure in the global context to meet the rising demands of a cyber society with the application of information and communication technology.
