COMPUTERS IN MEDICAL INDUSTRY Future tends and current usage of computers and information technologies in medicine and health industries By Roman Antonov Technology and Software Programming for Business 12 January 2021
Robotic surgery are types of surgical procedures that are done using robotic systems. In the case of robotically-assisted surgery, instead of directly moving the instruments, the surgeon uses one of two methods to administer the instruments. ROBOTIC SURGERY
Medical students traditionally get their f irst “hands- on” experiences with human anatomy in a cadaver lab.  Some universities in Cleveland—are changing the way medical students learn anatomy by bringing AR. Here’s how it works: Students will don a headset of Microsoft HoloLens, and professors will walk them through an interactive anatomy lesson. AUGMENTED REALITY
Diligent Robotics introduced a completely new robot, called Moxi, designed to take over non-care related, boring logistical tasks from overworked healthcare professionals. As a friendly, sensitive, and intuitive robot, Moxi not only alleviates clinical staff of routine tasks but does so in a non-threatening and supportive way that encourages positive relationships between humans and robots. ROBOTIC NURSES
Charles Taylor, a former Stanford professor, started HeartFlow to help patients avoid invasive diagnostic procedures and improve treatment outcomes. The company’s system creates personalized 3-D models that can be rotated and zoomed into, so doctors can simulate various approaches on screens. In some cases, it can help avoid invasive procedures entirely. 3-D DIGITAL HEARTS
HEALTH TRACKING APPS Fitness – for example, the popular 8 f it app. Diet – for example, Fitatu Calorie Counter and Diet. Meditation and stress reduction – for example, the incredibly popular Calm and Shine apps. In 2019, the global mHealth (short for ‘mobile health’) app industry was valued at $37 billion. A large portion of the market can be attributed to the following app categories:
DRONE-DELIVERED MEDICAL SUPPLIES Since March 2020, UPS has been conducting a trial program called Flight Forward, using autonomous drone deliveries of critical medical samples including blood or tissue Drones operated by Silicon Valley startup Zipline are already delivering medical supplies to rural villages
CYBORG-CRAZE The ‘cyborg-craze’ will eventually start with a new generation of hipsters who implant devices and technologies in their bodies just to look cooler. While a patient wearing implanted de f ibrillators or pacemakers can also be added to the group of cyborgs, expected to see more cases when patients ask for the implantation of a certain device without having medical problems.
3D BIOPRINTING The disruptive technology is used to print tissues such as liver, cartilage, skin, and even fully functional cancer tumors that can then be used to develop new cancer treatments. in Europe, scientists at the Spanish Universidad Carlos III de Madrid in collaboration with the bioengineering f irm BioDan Group have presented a prototype for a 3D bioprinter that can create entirely functional human skin.
BLOCKCHAIN AND ADVANCED PRIVACY As the blocks are impossible to change you cannot delete or change anything without leaving a trace. That is critical in the case of health data. It could secure health records, clinical trial records or ensure regulatory compliance. Some countries, such as the digital republic, Estonia, already guarantee the security of their citizens’ health records through blockchain. In pharma, the most apparent use of blockchain is securing the supply chain and f ighting against counterfeit drugs.
NANOROBOTS LIVING IN OUR BLOODSTREAM In the far future, robots on the nanoscale could live in our bloodstream and prevent any diseases by alerting the patient when a condition is about to develop. They could interact with our organs, measure every health parameter and intervene when needed.
DIGITAL PILL Indeed, studies showed that digital pills help in improving adherence among populations with adherence issues. Other companies like etectRx and Infármate are also working on digital pills of their own. Otsuka Pharmaceutical, Proteus’ former partner, even acquired the dethroned digital health unicorn; a move that acknowledges the potential of digital pills in pharma.
FURTHER EXPANSION OF TELEMEDICINE After 2020, 2021 will be about telemedicine becoming mainstream and widespread. Remote care will be the safe norm in more and more countries. It will also reach more rural regions, and we will see video consultations added to care options. Telemedicine will become more widespread in hospitals, GPs’ of f ices and in specialist clinics.
