· AI and Machine Learning
Artificial intelligence and machine learning offer humanity a new approach for determining various health indicators that affect the population. It is expected in 2020 that medical data will double every 73 days, a fast-paced movement towards dependency on AI and machine learning. AI can help medical professionals in diagnosing diseases and applying relevant treatment plans. Also, the two can be very important in regulating algorithms in the healthcare sector.
· Computer and Machine Vision
Computer and machine vision can be a valuable tech for the healthcare sector. Through imaging, diagnostics can be conducted more realistically, allowing the professional and their patient to imagine the condition. Examples of its applications would be CT scans and X-ray imaging.
· Digital Twins
A digital twin is somewhat a predictive measure in healthcare. It helps medical professionals create therapy decisions and even intervene with the health risks of an individual. Although its use is still in its early phase, it is a promising tech that can be significant for the medical industry.
· Extended Reality
Extended reality is a beneficial tech that helps medical trainees to conduct activities for their discipline. Moreover, it can help medical professionals in diagnosing different diseases linked to the brain. It can also support surgical operations by giving surgeons a hint on what to expect and what to do.
· Genomics
Genomics allows personalised treatment plans. Since it can improve our understanding of the structure of our genetic composition, it helps medical professionals to foresee any tendencies for the patient. It also preempts a good future for cancer and organ transplant studies.
· Robotics
Robots already play a crucial role in the medical industry because it is widely used in surgical operations. However, this tech isn’t limited to that. Healthcare in 2020 has been increasingly dependent on robotics. From assisting maintenance staff to disinfect and clean hospitals to rehabilitation procedures, the benefits from robotics can be easily seen. Currently, robotics advancements give medical professionals a targeted approach to different diseases and thanks to micro-bot.
· Wearable technology
Wearable tech is everywhere. Examples are smartwatches and ECG monitors. It can be beneficial in promoting personal measures for healthcare and at the same time be valuable in giving medical professionals real-time monitoring for their patients.
· 3D printing
3d printing enables customisation and prototyping for the medical industry. It gives surgeons a preparatory stage before conducting a surgical operation. It also allows the printing of prosthetic limbs and orthodontic materials.
· 5G
5g network improves access to healthcare. Since it can support the exchange of bulky data, it provides an opportunity for healthcare organisations to transmit important medical data to the most remote areas of the country.
