Are you still wondering what medical advances have served us like none in the past year? We could only keep a watch, on the fact that multiple advances have occurred with the passing years. However, most of us are unaware of those technologies or advancements that have saved many lives on earth.
The blog post will help you know the medical technologies that are game changers in the coming years. So, let’s get into the nitty-gritty of this post.
Healthcare monitoring devices
Also known as the Internet of things (IoT) hold significant importance in patient monitoring. These devices help in receiving the extensive data set used for monitoring purposes. Some examples of IoT devices are
- Remote patient monitors.
- Glucose monitoring
- Depression and mood monitoring.
- Heart rate monitoring.
- Parkinson’s disease monitoring
- Connected contact lenses
- Ingestible sensors
Data protection and security are the common challenges for healthcare sectors in this domain.
mRNA Technology
The immune system saver mRNA is used in making vaccines. mRNA technology has given us the foreground for COVID-19 vaccines. It is a traditional vaccine approach, also been opted for other vaccines such as the Zika virus and cancer.
The mRNA strand carries the genetic code we need to treat any disease. As soon as it enters our bodies, the genetic code is provided to the cells. The cells then produce proteins required by the immune system, to fight any virus/bacteria. This technique is used in making vaccines which is cheap and effective. mRNA technology has cut down the use of expensive anti-bodies prepared outside human bodies.
Precision medicines
These medicines are built using a certain genetic model to treat unusual gene variability. Precision medicines are personalized based on one’s lifestyle, genetics, and environment.
Precision medicines have been effective in treating cancer cells, tumors, and cancer diagnosis.
Telemedicine
Have been in the spotlight since COVID-19 arrives. Telemedicine has helped remove the barriers to connecting with patients or healthcare professionals at one’s ease. Gone are the days when geographically isolated people had to bear huge traveling expenses and expenses to cover treatment.
Telemedicine has created a convenient yet cheap means of getting effective treatment. Doctors can now give appointments through their telehealth portals and carry out the visual treatment perfectly.
Mental health technology
Some research shows that depression could be the leading cause of many diseases in 2030. Keeping it in mind, mental health technology has become the need of present and coming generations.
Different apps made using AI tools are used to determine emotional stress by assessing the voice patterns. These apps provide cognitive behavioral therapy and help in early diagnosis. The digital symptoms then warn patients according to their mental health conditions.
Final Thoughts
These are just a few of the leading medical technologies of 2022. However, there is a long list of medical advancements and literally, the sky is the limit in the coming years. We wish the inventors more success and appreciation for serving humanity.
