Diagnostics
Diagnostic technology helps medical professionals attain more information about a patient. Examples of diagnostic technology include thermometers, MRIs, X-ray machines, electrocardiographs and stethoscopes. With these tools, medical professionals can make better treatment decisions and explore parts of the human body that would be impossible to analyze otherwise.
Pharmaceutical
The development and improvement of medicine results in better pharmaceutical technology. Using different technologies, such as nanotechnology, microenvironments and artificial organs, researchers learn more about how different substances impact humans. They can then develop different prescription drugs, with the aim of curing or significantly decreasing instances of harmful disease.
Surgical
Surgical technology allows surgeons to perform complex operations. Some recent examples include smart surgical glasses that display essential information directly within a surgeon's glasses and remote robotics, which allow surgeons to operate remotely with increased precision. Surgical technology assists in every type of surgery—from basic procedures such as appendectomies to more complex types such as spinal or brain surgery.
Monitoring
To monitor the health and status of a patient, healthcare professionals increasingly rely on technology. A common example is smartwatches, which can monitor biometric data such as heart rates and quality of sleep. Other monitoring technology includes devices implanted directly into a patient that provide even more advanced monitoring capabilities to healthcare professionals.
