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. patient outcomes are better than they’ve ever been, and that’s largely due to advances in technology. Surgical techniques, superior imaging, electronic health records and telemedicine have each played significant roles in improving general healthcare.
Innovation in medical fields:
- Development of artificial joints: The successful replacement of injured hips has resulted in significant improvement in a patient’s mobility and overall quality of life.
- Arthroscopy: This surgical procedure allows orthopedic surgeons to visualize, diagnose, and treat problems inside a joint.
- Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI): One of the most important medical inventions, MRI is a method of looking inside the body for medical diagnosis.
- Kidney dialysis: This procedure artificially filters and removes waste products and excess water from blood, giving damaged kidneys a chance to recover normal function.
