Revolutionary Developments Shaping Medical Technology Market

A simulator for assisting in efficient cardiac surgeries

Surgeons are depending upon healthcare technologies to aid them in planning interventions as well as understand the expectations of the patients at operating tables. The Super Beat training simulator imitates a beating heart along with exceptional accuracy by making use of an artificial muscle wired towards electricity.

Although surgeons have already been using this simulator within their workshops, the device will soon hit the markets across the globe.

Detection of the genes responsible for cancer metastasize

Scientists at the University of Alberta have found nearly 11 genes that are responsible for spreading cancer. They intend that by the means of inhibiting the known gene targets, prevention of metastasis will be possible by nearly 99.5 percent.

Cost effective methods for diagnosing HEPATITIS B

Diagnosis of Hepatitis B can be very costly for the populace of developing countries that ranges to nearly $500.

Scientists have successfully been able to made advances towards reducing the cost via developing a testing method worth $20. This new method named TREAT-B test takes 2 blood-based screenings for providing accurate diagnostic score of the disease. TREAT-B, recognizes patients who require treatment for Hepatitis B with the accuracy of almost 85 percent.

Altering chemical imbalances in brains of drug addicts

Scientists understand the habitual drug users’ difficulty of quitting over certain addictive drugs that ultimately has a lot of negative effects. These drugs actually alters the brain chemistry of the user.

Hence, scientists have in recent times announced the development of an intervention known as a serotonin 2C receptor therapeutic that can restore the deteriorated signals within the brain caused due to the usage of drug.

Advancements with Artificial Ovaries

Women who are at risk for becoming infertile from certain treatments such as chemotherapy frequently require to remove their ovaries totally or sometimes partially, then later frozen following transplanting it back. Nevertheless, the method might have the chances of transplant having cancerous cells and bringing the cancer back after the procedure.

Thus, scientists are relying over the healthcare technology for growing ovarian follicles over an engineered unit of tissue that just consists of protein and collagen, which will have cancer cells removed. The testing has been carried out within mice by successful transplant of the artificial ovaries, and will soon be and hope to tested among humans.

 

Similarly there are a range of revolutionary developments taking place within the medical industry across the globe, such as:

  • The continuous widespread adoption of electronic healthcare records (EHR).
  • Rising applications of Virtual Reality (VR) in Medicine.
  • An injection with synthetic antibody known as Erenumab for reducing migraine frequency.
  • Fact acting medications for Influenza.
  • A new method of sequencing blood samples for effective diagnosis of spastic cerebral palsy in children.
  • Moreover, industry is in a probable process of introducing a drug for treating hearing loss and replace traditional wearable devices.
