Technology in Medicine


As per available reports about 33 Relevant journals, 71 Conferences, 27 National Symposiums are presently dedicated exclusively to Technology in and about 6 articles are being published on Technology in Medicine.

Modern medicine and technology seem inseparable. The discovery of X-rays by German physicist Wilhelm Conrad Roentgen (1845-1923) in 1895 made it possible to look at internal organs of the body. This made it easier to diagnose broken bones, cancer, and other diseases. Not long after, Willem Einthoven (1860-1927), a Dutch physiologist, invented the first electrocardiograph. This device records the electrical activity of the heart muscles, making it possible to monitor for heart problems. Many of the advances have come in imaging enabling physicians to see the organs without opening the body.

Scope and Importance

In today’s world, technology plays an important role in every industry as well as in our personal lives. Out of all of the industries that technology plays a crucial role in, healthcare is definitely one of the most important. This merger is responsible for improving and saving countless lives all around the world. Advancements in medical technology have allowed physicians to better diagnose and treat their patients since the beginning of the professional practice of medicine. Thanks to the continuous development of technology in the medical field, countless lives have been saved and the overall quality of life continues to improve over time.

Modern medicine and technology seem inseparable. The discovery of X-rays by German physicist Wilhelm Conrad Roentgen (1845-1923) in 1895 made it possible to look at internal organs of the body. This made it easier to diagnose broken bones, cancer, and other diseases. Not long after, Willem Einthoven (1860-1927), a Dutch physiologist, invented the first electrocardiograph. This device records the electrical activity of the heart muscles, making it possible to monitor for heart problems. In the mid-century catheters—thin hollow tubes that can be used to drain fluids or put in medicine—were inserted into the heart and liver. Many of the advances have come in imaging enabling physicians to see the organs without opening the body. Technologies include ultrasound imaging, computerized tomography (CT-scans), positron-emission tomography (PET scans), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRIs). Diagnostics, while still an art, has become a science too.

X-rays, of course, are a form of radiation, which is dangerous to the body. Radiologists learned to use the lowest doses possible in imaging. They also learned to use targeted X-rays and other forms of radiation to destroy unwanted cells. Thus radiation has become a standard treatment for cancer. Perhaps no field has been affected so much by technology as surgery. The various scanning technologies have guided the surgeon into the depths of the body, allowing radical invasive surgeries. It provides an artificial means of maintaining blood circulation, thus keeping patients alive while the surgeon operates on the stopped heart. This technique, called cardiopulmonary bypass, has made major heart surgeries almost routine, including the replacement of heart valves and the cardiac by-pass.  

Artificial organs are another major 20th century development. Although transplantation is the ideal, there are not enough organs for people who need them. Artificial organs can keep patients alive as they await surgery. The kidney dialysis machine is one of the earliest examples of this. The first artificial kidney was invented in 1913. Hemodialysis, which was pioneered by the Dutch-American scientist, now prolongs life for many people with kidney failure. Artificial hearts have also been developed. Unlike cumbersome dialysis machines, these are actually implanted in the body.

However, few recipients lived more than half a year. Other artificial hearts were developed to act as bridges, to keep patients alive until a real heart was available. Despite all these advances, there are still many diseases that lack adequate treatments. While many illnesses can be prevented, there are others that still devastate families and communities. And there are many people who lack access to adequate medical care for the diseases that can be cured or prevented.

Market Analysis:

The medical technology sector is weathering a perfect storm caused by three concurrent trends: the move toward value-based health care, growing regulatory pressures, and resource constraints within the industry itself. Companies must find new ways to create, deliver and capture value. Unfortunately, medical technology companies of all sizes face now significant resource constraints precisely when they need to be investing in new kinds of innovation. Financing has become increasingly scarce for small companies, while slowing growth has resulted in “lost” revenues of US$ 131 billion and “lost” R&D of US$12 billion between 2008 and 2012.
