Advancements in medical technology are more important than ever considering recent health events. This has led medical technologists to produce some of the most fast-paced, innovative and effective solutions that the world has ever seen! As the world battles a deadly pandemic, medical technologists are at the forefront trying to equip healthcare workers with the best possible armamentarium. Here are some of the best medical technology advancements in recent times that have blown us away with their ingeniousness!
Robotics
They’re fast paced, accurate, meticulous, do not carry the risk of transmitting infections, and have zero chances of human errors! This is why robotics are now increasingly being used in surgeries and for enhanced medical care.
Artificial Intelligence
Artificial Intelligence is increasingly being used in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases. Their advent has made medical care much more precise and has reduced medical errors to nil.
CRISPR
CRISPR, or Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats is a revolutionary development in gene editing technology. CRISPR has opened up numerous avenues and treatments for diseases that were previously deemed “incurable”.
Mixed Reality for Medical Intelligence
Virtual and Augmented reality has proven to be exceedingly effective in improving medical education. Students can now visualise important anatomical structures and understand how certain pathways work with the help of a mixture of Virtual and Augmented reality.
Artificial Organs
Obtaining healthy organs for transplantation has always been a struggle. However, with the introduction of completely functional artificial organs, patients will no longer have to wait for years to receive life-saving help.
