2022 New Technologies in Medicine
News, 08 Ott 2023, by direzione
Many of the latest medical technologies are designed to aid medical personnel with data analysis and integration. They also provide them with insights into a patient’s condition and help them determine better treatment options. Inhalers that are connected can save lives by reminding patients to take their medication. AccuVein for instance assists nurses and doctors identify veins in patients who are injected by displaying the locations of blood flow on the skin’s surface. Other smart devices can help make surgery safer, such as a virtual reality system that allows surgeons to practise procedures prior to starting on the patient.
Another 2022 technology that can improve the outcomes of patients is Telemedicine. The technology allows doctors to diagnose and treat patients remotely via a video link. This helps to reduce the number of trips a patient has to visit the hospital. It can also reduce the time it takes to receive treatment and increase access to healthcare.
Wearables are a different healthcare innovation that monitors a patient’s blood oxygen levels in addition to stress levels and heart rate. The technology can notify the doctor if the condition of a patient is becoming worse. This means they can take preventative action and avoid the need for intensive treatment later. In the meantime, gene editing technologies such as CRISPR are transforming the way that diseases are treated by allowing scientists to alter or correct the DNA of a patient. This can potentially provide cures for a variety of deadly diseases.
