Articles on today's top technologies in use in medicine today 

Our medical engineering site discusses some of the cutting edge techniques and procedures in medicine today. These are both tissue and bone based. We also publish a summary of the techniques used in vaser lipo surgery which is clearly more of a cosmetic nature. However some of the tissue methods are just as advanced as in other branches of medicine.

Cutting Edge Medical Technologies
There are few fields which make consistently great strides in the design and production of innovative technology as that of the medical world.
With the constant goal of delivering more effective and wider ranging treatment options for patients, the technologies that result from the ever-present ethos of driving knowledge and standards of care not only improves the efficiency of processes for healthcare professionals, but also increase the success rates of treatment for patients with a wide range of healthcare needs.
Here are some examples of the latest and most notable innovations in the healthcare sector.

The Rise of 3D Printing
Originally approved by the FDA in 2015, the implications for the healthcare industry quickly became apparent.
As the technology has moved forward, 3D printing has been used extensively to craft everything from instruments used in surgical procedures to a range of devices and prosthetics made exclusively for the individual.

Driving Precision in Oncology
Modern technology has allowed for groundbreaking leaps forward in the field of cancer treatment.
Many providers now offer access to forms of virtual healthcare with the provision of their own highly personalized oncology treatment plans and unprecedented ease of access for patients in real-time.
Other companies are driving breakthrough research and significant advances in immunotherapy which many claim will hail a new era in the treatment of cancer.
The use of precision medicine is revolutionizing the traditional ways of treating cancer by using a more targeted approach which simply wasn’t possible just a decade ago.

Harnessing the Power of Blockchain
Blockchain has impacted the healthcare industry in a way that few might have expected.
With the potential to radically help companies to bridge long-established data, blockchain has driven IT and organisational efficiency to new levels by keeping healthcare providers and the data they hold secure.
The key benefit here is the ease of which patients can access their medical data and the ability to more efficiently capture and access a patient’s complete medical history.

The Use of Drones
A technology that many associate with photography, leisure and security, continues to have groundbreaking implications for the medical and emergency services.
Drones enable remote, outlying communities to connect with medical services, whilst also helping to deliver medicine and samples across every kind of terrain.
Their ability to fly fast, land automatically and especially to display images and live video makes them a valuable tool for search and rescue efforts and locating injured people.

These are just a few of the examples of how innovation in medical technology has made our world a better place, empowering medical professionals to work more efficiently and ultimately to save more lives.
It is difficult to predict what the future holds, however with ever-increasing technology and research it is certain to be a future full of innovation, making the healthcare industry an exciting and fulfilling sector to be involved in.
