Technological innovations continue to advance in order to be applied in all disciplines, focused, especially on those that directly affect human beings, as is the case of medicine, which seeks to improve its services and reduce costs in devices and treatments.
Driven by the COVID-19 pandemic, scientific research has accelerated, achieving a great deal of progress, as is the case with greater access to telemedicine, with greater adoption of telemedicine practices, creating a model more virtual care.
Here are technological innovations that are revolutionizing medicine:
Pacemakers connected to smartphones, are new pacemaker devices with Bluetooth that can solve disconnection problems between patients and their heart treatment, are used through a mobile application, these connected devices allow patients greater understanding of the health data of the pacemakers and transmit the health information to their doctors.
Traditionally, remote monitoring of this device is done through a console next to the bed that transmits the data from the pacemaker or defibrillator to the doctor.
Digital tablets can achieve a great revolution in medicine, as it consists of an edible sensor that monitors the presence of the pill in the body through a receptor patch, the information is sent to a mobile app.
Biological materials and 3D printing are technologies with great progress, through these tools are created blood vessels, connective tissue, hearing aids, prostheses, bones and even ears, which are made with 3D printers.
Big Data allows you to collect millions of data from people around the world, through mobile devices you can monitor blood pressure, body temperature, heart rate, etc., thanks to the intelligent analysis that can be achieved, the big data becomes a very powerful tool to be able to create more effective medicines.
The CTRL-kit bracelet, is a device that is surprisingly able to control computer functions with just thought, this bracelet manages to identify and understand the electrical impulses that occur in neurons when thinking about a movement, traveling instant, the implementation of this technology opens up new forms of rehabilitation and possible solutions to neurodegenerative diseases.
Virtual reality for rehabilitation, this technology facilitates the measurement of patients’ progress and adapts rehabilitation programs to maximize their results, expanding the variety and types of exercises performed by patients.
