How Has Technology Changed The Medical Field

This is making it easier for scientist and doctors to find diagnosis for patients. And find cures for some of the stronger diseases. so could you ask yourself ,in the next decade or two could we just might find the cure to some of the big problem diseases in our society, such as cancer, ALS, and hundreds more. the answer could be right before our very eyes.

Technology is a wonderful invention that has changed the world. One of the biggest advancements it has made is it has changed the face of medicine. Just over the past couple of centuries, technology has gotten to the point where it saves lives. The Civil War is considered to be one of the most bloodiest wars in history due to the lack of technology in the 1860s. Men were having their legs and arms amputated while still awake with no pain medication. Men were dying due to the lack of x-ray machines, MRI’s, CT scans, and many other medical advancements since then.

Technology is crucial and essential when it comes to the health care organization. The advancement in technology has brought effectiveness in documentation, less medical errors, and improved patient quality care. Every year, breakthroughs of different types of technologies, and new found researches are making a tremendous impact on the medical field. After watching the Intelligent Hospital video on Week 7, I have decided to choose technology in health care for my topic to lobby.

Medical technology encompasses a wide range of healthcare products and is used to diagnose, monitor, and treat diseases or medical conditions that affect humans. This may included but not limited too, pharmaceuticals, vaccines, and medical equipment. Such technologies are intended to improve the quality of healthcare delivered through earlier diagnosis, less invasive treatment options and reductions in hospital stays and rehabilitation times. Recent advances in medical technology have also focused on cost reduction. Medical technology may include medical devices, information technology, biotech, and healthcare services. The impacts of medical technology may involve social and ethical issues. For example physicians may seek objective information from technology rather than listening to subjective patient reports. A major contributor of healthcare expenditure in America is the advancement of medical technology. According to several studies it is shown that there is a correlation between the nation’s gross domestic product (GDP) and money allocated to healthcare. One of the leading theories is that medical technology is growing faster than expected.

Modern technology now a days really help with our medical fields and how we learn more about the body and how to prevent things like that.

hroughout history medical advancements are a priority. From the 1800s till the early 2000s major discoveries have changed the world as we know it. Here are 20 medical milestones, in no particular order, that I found to be the most important. In 1816 France Rene Laennec invented the stethoscope. The stethoscope was much more practical compared to the old method of placing the ear over the chest. In 1844 Elizabeth Blackwell paved the way for woman doctors when she received her medical degree. In 1857 Louis Pasteur, a French biologist, discovered that germs were the cause of disease. On November 8th, 1895, Wilhelm Roentgen invented the X-ray. While it is unknown if Aspirin was invented by one man, Felix Hoffman, he is given credit for the invention

There are many things has changed with the modern world of science and technology. Also, the change in medical field is one of the greatest- the way of treating the illness.

Today’s technology allows us to do so much more than what we used to be able to do. We have many more medicines and ways of treating illnesses and diseases. We now have new technology that can aid in helping us know what a certain disease and it can help us figure out what someone is sick with quicker than what we used to.

The world of medicine has changed greatly over the past hundred years. New advances in technology has shaped and changed this country in many different ways. With the advancements of medicine, life expectancy has grown dramatically over the last couple of centuries. New vaccines and medications has helped improved our everyday lives. One man helped create a vaccine for a disease that was attacking people all over the world, his name was Jonas Salk.

Technology is the fastest growing industry of our Time, and no other field has seen the fast paced growth in Technology more than the medical field. Many beneficial aspects have come from such growth. From data collection and research to treatments. Technology in the medical field is far beyond what anyone could have ever imagined possible and it is not slowing down anytime soon.

In a world of technology why would the medical field not follow suit? It would and does every day making leaps and bounds of progress to a better healthier you. One way of doing this is called e-Health technology which encompasses a wide variety of tools, including social media, mobile technology, and telehealth. With the right technology tools, consumers can be empowered and more engaged in their own health and health care. An at home health patient monitoring system is one way of moving what was reactive care in the past to preventive care in the present (McGee, 2012).

Health care policies and technology has affected consumers, providers, patients and the health care environment as a whole, in many different ways, some critical. Health policy is made up of decision, strategies, and actions that are embarked on to accomplish precise health care goals. Technology has developed swiftly with no signs of it decelerating. Technology in the health care industry has provided technological growth in countless forms. The challenges of an organization overcoming change by the implementation of new laws and the rise of technology have been beneficial to countless health care organizations. A great example of how current health policy has affected and overcame the challenges of change is by the Patient Protection and

This excitement can be good, bad or in some cases, misleading. The medical field has vastly made its way into a huge money pit of enduring “technological advances”. But, the advances are sometimes not always what they seem to be. Looking ahead, the questions we need to ask ourselves would be: are we getting to excited too quickly when it comes to the amount of anticipation we have about the advances in the medical field? Is there a chance we look for the potential of these “revenge effects” with it all? While trying to discover an answer to these questions, I feel as though people need to take a step back and realize that we will never know right now, what these advances will do for us in the near future whether its change us negatively or positively. Harmful or safe, watchfulness should always be done when it comes to medical technology. Thankfully, the knowledge and skills used with the equipment, has and will continue to save millions and millions of lives now and in the future. The diagnosis of new vaccines and miracle drugs has increased the existence of this population by about twenty years.

The World Innovations of Science and Technology in the Medical Field During the 20th century

In today’s medical field technology plays a big role when it comes to patient care. Technology is huge when it comes to giving the patient the best type of quality care when they are in the hospital. In the old days people would just write it down on a sheet of paper and record it by hand, which caused mistakes. Now with the Electronic Health Record those mistakes are drastically declining. Statistics have shown that using the Electronic Health Record has lowered Nursing mistakes as well as improved patient care. Our society has progressed through the years and has been introduced with the Electronic Health Record which has drastically improved our health care system. The Electronic Health Record provides great communication between
