Potential Technology Application and Driving Factors: Medical Devices
TECHNOLOGY APPLICATION
Augmented reality-assisted surgeries
A platform to provide the opportunity to establish a virtual setting where patients and clinicians may communicate throughout the course of clinical care (examination, diagnosis, in-home care, evaluation of treatment diseases, consultation). Metaverse is leveraged to empower mental health and well-being
AI-driven software that can be programmed to accurately spot signs of a certain disease in medical images such as MRIs, x-rays, and CT scans. AI assisted medical diagnosis and decision
All devices which substitute for an organ or tissue function and incorporate both synthetic materials and living cells. Artificial implantable organs
Devices designed to connect with an application device to help patients and healthcare providers to monitor important information like medication schedules and dosage reminders. (e.g. smart inhalers). Personalised smart devices (e.g. inhalers)
Surgical tools that utilise technology to provide a computer-generated image of the patient, enhancing the operative experience for the surgeon.
DRIVING FACTORS
•
Encouragement of healthcare professionals (nurses
•
Shared virtual spaces to improve mental health Gaming platforms are already being leveraged for mental health treatment
•
Health data integration - healthcare systems can anticipate when a person is at risk of developing a chronic disease, for example, and suggest preventive measures before they get worse
•
Improved R&D on artificial organs; bio-hybrid kidney – minimise the need for certain services (e.g. dialysis) and reduce many of the patient risks associated with today’s systems 3D bio printing is the utilisation of 3D printing- like techniques to combine cells, growth factors, and biomaterials to fabricate biomedical parts that imitate
•
Preventive and personalised care becomes the new treatment Data and platform: Data will come from multiple sources and be the basis of both preventive activity and research
