What are some of the emerging methods and technologies in healthcare?

Solution

Following are the some of the emerging health care technologies:

Sensor Technology Tracks Medication Adherence: Proteus Biomedical is running on technology that cover a tiny sensor into pills for focus medication adherence for organ transplants, diabetes etc.

Intelligent Pills Deliver Medication to Specific Locations: Philips Research has refined an intelligent pill that can be setup to deliver focus doses of medication to patients with digestive disorders.

Brain Implants Prevent Seizures: The RNS System, a responsive neuro stimulator identify abnormal electrical activity in the brain that signals the onset of a seizure, and delivers a specific pattern of mild electrical stimulation to block the seizure.

Artificial Pancreas for Diabetics: Researchers at Boston University have successfully finished a trial with 11 type-1 diabetic patients using a new “artificial pancreas”.

Contact Lens Detects Glaucoma: scientists have discover a smart contact lens with an embedded microchip that monitors intraocular pressure.

Printing New Skin: scientists have observed how to apply ink-jet printer technology to ‘print’ proteins directly onto a burn victim’s body for faster and more thorough healing.

Artificial Retina: A collaboration of five DOE national laboratories, four universities, and private industry — is developing a retinal prosthesis.

Lab-on-a-Chip: Researchers have setup a lab-on-a-chip for HIV testing that does not require expensive resources and can deliver results in seconds. The portable and less expensive lab-on-a-chip is a holographic to dispose if the blood is HIV positive.
