We’ve already discussed on this site about latest issues that technology has to face. One of these is the transformation and restructuring of the medical field because of technological advancements which aid in the growth and enhance the efficiency and also from an economic perspective of a field as complicated and costly as health care. Let’s take a look at some of the examples.



Virtual real

Virtual reality glasses aren’t solely used to play the game of video at its most enjoyable. The technology is currently being applied to create innovative solutions for healthcare. Virtual reality can be used for treating mental disorders like depression, phobias or dementia. It lets you perform functional tests to help diagnose neurodegenerative illnesses and serves as a motor and cognitive training for people suffering from them.

patients who have experienced from a cerebrovascular issue and want to confront actual situations without leaving the hospital. However medical students and health professionals like surgeons and doctors, will be able to work much easier, as a result of 360o views they’ll be able to examine anatomy, assist with injections and even identify the best surgical sites.

Big Data and the IOT (Internet of Things)

Combining, grouping and monitoring an enormous amount of information is possible through the advancement of Big Data and the Internet of Things (IoT) which is also known as IoMT also known as IoMT, or the Internet of Medical Things. Because of the mass use of data, medical management can be improved, as well as other functions could be accomplished like remotely monitoring patients suffering from chronic illnesses – also often referred to as telemedicine, stopping patients from having to travel to a medical facility or office and knowing the whereabouts of patients admitted into hospitals, tracking orders as well as other.

Through computer networks that are online Healthcare IT systems can be connected. Therefore, WIFI-equipped medical devices can allow the communication between devices, the cloud storage of data and the analysis of data.

The 5G

A while ago, we spoke of 5G and its potential. In a brief time the development of Smart cities that can download a film within a matter of seconds, or creating autonomous vehicles will require more than basic tasks. This data network is expected to also provide news from the field of health. This year’s MWC (Mobile World Congress) held in Barcelona last February began by presenting an ambulance by 5G technologies. The prototype was able to allow the use of remote communications, with little delay and high-definition videos, between emergency personnel stationed at the stand and an EMS expert situated elsewhere. Additionally, during this same month, in particular on February 27 in 2019, the first surgical operation that was remotely assisted in real-time took place by Barcelona itself at day of WMCand Barcelona’s Clinical Hospital of Barcelona. In the near future, it is expected that the procedure will become feasible to carry out remote surgery and that the equipment that are used in the operating room will be able to be moved from a distance.

Artificial intelligence

Another one of the technological innovations that are making waves in the healthcare sector includes AI, also known as Artificial Intelligence. AI can accelerate the lengthy and costly procedure of taking drugs and will analyze the genome of a patient. Additionally, AI will allow the analysis of massive quantities of medical records in order to give a more thorough assessment and treatment.

3D printing

3-D printed medical equipment, precise replicas of bones, affordable Stethoscopes that are suitable for countries with limited resources, custom-designed hearing aids, dental prostheses as well as titanium thorax implanted bone with living cells are just a few of the many applications provided by this method of medical treatment. The implementation of this technology will help save both time and money, as well as a boost in health care and the objectiveization of surgical interventions. In short, a step toward personalized medical care.

These are only a few of the possibilities that are offered by the latest technologies, and it is evident that this is only the beginning of something far more exciting.
