Though medical innovations have occurred through-out the journey of medicine, as per World health organization, innovations in health care are a new boom with technological advances in this era. Medical innovation also means ever-increasing awareness and transformation of the existing process for better services, requirements and opportunity for patient health care.
The new look outs are
Artificial intelligence
The use of machine learning and algorithms in life science whether it is detection, diagnosing, treatment or progression of disease. The critical advancement in data amalgamation will bring about major improvements in healthcare is the new thougth process which enables access to the health reports on their phones.”
Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats (CRISPR) gene editing
This technology can potentially transform how diseases are treated. It has shown to have significant advances in cancer and HIV.
Patients embracing telehealth and virtual visits
The satisfaction level in patients has gone an upscale in this aspect.
Augmented and virtual reality
Utilization of augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) for physician training and education purposes. Apart from advanced surgeries it can also be used for helping with pain relief, and treating mental health conditions (overcome their fears by providing them a controlled environment for social interactions).
Implementing 3D printing
To build up models, medical devices, custom implants or joints, prosthetics, skin cells for burn victims and artificial organs. One of the main benefits of 3D printing is that it greatly accelerates manufacture processes and, thus, also reduces the price tag of traditionally manufactured products.
