Ten medical technologies that will change the future of healthcare

Technology and medicine have gone hand and hand for many years. Consistent advances in pharmaceuticals and the medical field have saved millions of lives and improved many others. As the years pass by and technology continues to improve, there is no telling what advances will come next. Here are the top 10 new medical technologies.

1.  3-D printing

3D printers are rapidly becoming one of the hottest inventions on the market if you have not heard them. Such implants may also be used to build organs and even joints for operation. The digital features allow them to match measurements up to one person's millimetre, because three-dimensional prosthetics are increasingly popular as they are completely customized. This enables comfort and moveability to be unprecedented.

Both durable and soluble items can be created with the use of printers. For example, 3D printing can be employed to 'print' multi-drug pills that help organization patients, schedule and track multiple medications.This is a true example of technology and medicine working together.

2.  Smart inhalers

The most effective asthma care choice is inhalers and 90 percent of patients receive asthma if done correctly. However, research has shown that only 50 percent of patients are tracked and up to 94 percent do not correctly use inhalers.

Bluetooth-enabled intelligent inhalers were designed to help asthma patients better control their condition. A small screen is attached to the inhaler which displays the date , time and proper administration of each dosage. Then, this data is sent to smartphones of the patients to track their condition and track them.Clinical trials showed that using the smart inhaler device used less reliever medicine and had more reliever-free days. 

3.  Wireless brain sensors

Thanks to plastics, medical advancements have allowed scientists and doctors to team up and build up bioresorbable electronics to be inserted into the brain and then dissolve, according to Plasticstoday.com when they are no longer needed. This device helps doctors in temperature and pressure measurements in the brain. Because the sensors will dissolve, the need for more surgeries is minimized.

4.  Artificial organs

Bio-Printing is also an evolving medical technology to take 3D printing another step. Although the ability to regenerate skin cells in skin draws for burned victims was initially groundbreaking, it has gradually given way to even more exciting possibilities. Blood vessels, synthetic ovaries and even a pancreas were created by scientists. The original defective organ is then replaced inside the patient's body. The ability to supply artificial tissue, which the body's immune system does not reject, may be groundbreaking, saving millions of patients every year who depend on saving lives.

5.  Health wearables

Since the launch of Bluetooth in the past few years, demand for wearable appliances has risen. Today , people use their telephone to track everything from their sleeping measures, physical health and heartbeat. The use of wearable technology is related to increasing chronic diseases such as diabetes and cardiovascular disease and is aimed at combating these diseases by helping people track and improve fitness.

Apple made global news in late 2018 for its revolutionary 4-watch Apple Watch, a built-in ECG that tracks the rhythms of the heart.Within days, customers were excited about technology to save lives, which is able to detect dangerous cardiovascular conditions much earlier than usual. By 2024, the demand for wearable devices is expected to hit $67 billion.

6.  Precision medicine 

As medical technology advances, the individual patients are increasingly customized. For example, precision medicine allows physicians to choose drugs and therapies for diseases such as cancer depending on the genetic make-up of a individual. This personalized medicine is much more effective than other treatment methods as it targets patient tumors, triggering gene mutation and is easier to kill by cancer drugs, depending on the individual genes and proteins.Precision medication can also be used to treat RA. It uses a common mechanism to weaken and reduce the effects and joint damage of the disease's susceptible genes.

7.  Telehealth

In a world dominated by technology, up to 60 per cent of consumers say they prefer digital services. Telemedicine defines a technology that is easy to develop, which allows patients to seek medical attention using digital devices rather than waiting for face-to - face appointments. Instant diagnosis and medical advice are given, for example, through highly customized smartphone devices, which permit patients through virtently interact with doctors and other medical professionals.Telehealth offers patients different points of access to health care when and where they need it with overregistered services.In particular, the program offers reliable, efficient and cost effective treatment to patients with chronic conditions. By 2025, the global market in telemedicine will cost $113.1 billion.

8.  Robotic surgery

Robot surgery is used to enable precision, control and versatility in minimally invasive operations. In robotic surgery, surgeons may perform extremely difficult or impossible procedures otherwise. If the technology advances, the additional knowledge about the patient in real time while still operating may be interpreted by surgeons in conjunction with augmented reality. While the technology raises questions, it is possibly only used to assist and improve the work of surgeons in the future.

9.  Virtual reality 

At some time there was augmented reality. But medical students have recently come close to the real-life encounter of technology through medical and technical innovations. Experienced tools help them gain their experience through the rehearsal of procedures and provide visual insight into the connection between human anatomy. The VR tools can also enable patients to identify them, enable them to schedule therapies and to train them for their procedures. In patient rehabilitation and recovery, it was also very useful.

10.  CRISPR  

The most advanced genetic editing technology is Clustered regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats (CRISPR). It operates through the manipulation of the natural mechanisms of the immune systems of invading virus bacterium cells, which can then "split" infected DNA fibres. This division of DNA is capable of changing the way we treat disease. The alteration of genes could potentially solve some of the major threats to our health, such as cancer and HIV, in a matter of years.Nevertheless, as with any powerous instrument, it is commonly known that there are a variety of disputes, primarily surrounding the right of humanity to 'play God' and questions regarding the creation of masses of designer babies. The CRISPR appears to be a tool of first generation and has yet to be thoroughly understood.

With the passing years technology will continue to advance in pharmaceuticals and medicine. People live longer and fewer diseases are considered incurable. Jobs are becoming more so than ever in the pharmaceutical industry. Who knows what scientific advances will bring next year!
