Year-end inventory: Smart medical technologies that change our lives

The growing maturity of technologies such as big data, artificial intelligence, and the Internet of Things has brought smart medicine closer to people's lives. In addition, the acceleration of social aging, unequal distribution of medical resources, and the disparity in the level of medical services between urban and rural areas are all driving the advancement of medical care to intelligence and information. The advancement of medical science and technology not only brings convenience to doctors in treating diseases, but also brings hope to critically ill patients.

Xiao Bian checked out this year's top 10 smart medical hotspots to see if these smart medical technologies have entered your life?

1. Artificial intelligence. In 2017, artificial intelligence was hot, AlphaGo beat top Go player Ke Jie, and made AI the subject of all kinds of topics. In the medical world, artificial intelligence has never been lacking.

This year, IBM Watson Health officially landed in China, and the domestic BAT giants also rushed to the health AI: Baidu released an artificial intelligence inquiry project based on Baidu medical brain; Ali released medical AI “Doctor You” developed by Ali Health. Tencent also released Tencent's first product in the medical AI field. The favor of the capital market, coupled with the strong demand in the Chinese medical market, has provided fertile ground for the development of artificial intelligence.

2. Virtual Reality (VR). Virtual reality technology can be said to be the hottest topic in the science and technology world. In addition to applications in the entertainment field such as games and movies, VR has also begun to connect with the medical industry.

The visual “immersion” and interactivity that VR technology brings can allow students to “enter” the human body for observation and learning, and simulate “carcasses” to solve problems. This is a direct application of VR in the medical field. In addition to medical training, for patients, VR can relieve the pressure on patients and can also be used to treat diseases such as mental illness, autism, and depression.

3. Augmented Reality (AR). Compared to creating and enhancing VR in the virtual world, AR puts the virtual world in the real world and interacts with it. That is, AR can let us see more than the real world.

In the medical field, surgeons usually rely on their own eyes and experience to perform some precise tasks. AR can assist surgeons in surgical operations, help them find veins faster, locate tumors on the liver, and greatly improve the operation. Accuracy lowers the risk of limited visual acuity. In the United States, AccuVein uses AR scanners to help doctors and nurses find the patient's veins accurately, increasing the chances of "infallibility" 3.5 times.

4. 3D printing. The development of 3D printing technology in the field of biomedicine and the transformation of its achievements will lead to more accurate and customized medical services and treatments that will effectively reduce the suffering of patients, reduce treatment procedures, and increase the cure rate.

3D printing technology can quickly produce human organ models for teaching and preoperative simulations as well as surgical implants such as dentures, ears, and skulls. In addition, by controlling the release process of powders and medicaments by printing a special tablet structure, the absorption process of the human body is more reasonable.

A hospital in the United States used a 3D printing technique to create a precise, conjoined skull before undergoing a head separation operation for a pair of conjoined twin babies, and underwent careful surgical planning studies. It eventually took only 22 hours to complete the surgery. In the past, similar surgery was performed. Surgery is up to 72 hours.

5. Gene sequencing. Gene sequencing is a novel gene detection technology that can analyze and determine the full sequence of genes from blood or saliva to predict the possibility of many diseases. Gene sequencing is really known to the public is the United States Hollywood actress Angelina Jolie, she learned through genetic sequencing to carry a gene to increase the risk of breast cancer, after preventive bilateral mastectomy.

6. Wearable sensor. Wearable devices are no stranger to us. Many people purchase smart watches and smart bracelets for sports and fitness to monitor their physical conditions in real time. However, these devices mostly record sports calories and rarely enter the medical field.

U.S. Boulder University of Colorado and Northwestern University research team developed a wearable miniature acoustic sensor that weighs only 0.28g. After being attached to human skin, it “monitored” the skin, tissues, and human blood flow to record humans.

Sounds and low-frequency vibrations generated by internal organs while breathing, moving, and sleeping, and tracking heart and lung diseases.

7. Telemedicine. Problems such as rising prevalence and population aging have caused rising demand for medical resources. The shortage of medical resources has become a global problem. Telemedicine is connected to doctors and patients through the Internet, and offline clinics are switched to online video. This saves doctors and patients the energy and time, and at the same time can solve the medical needs of patients in remote areas.

In the United States, the medical expenses of the civilian population are actually very expensive, and the medical costs that employers pay are also high. VSee Telehealth, Stanford’s telemedicine startup team, saw the opportunity to develop VSee's medical information app + DIY clinic platform. On this platform, you can choose other telemedicine insurance solutions, and at the same time, doctors can also use their free time to provide "DIY clinic" to provide more remote services. In this way, not only the doctor's service income has been improved, patients can also easily Choose their own telemedicine solution.

8. Surgical robots. People are very assured of entrusting their bodies to medical professionals, but if they are given a machine that operates a scalpel, there is still some fear. However, it turns out that surgical robots have a lower error rate. Surgical robots cannot replace surgeons, but instead enhance their skills and make their surgery more accurate.

The Da Vinci Surgical System The first FDA-approved automated mechanical system for laparoscopic minimally invasive surgery that translates the surgeon's hand movements into smaller, more precise mechanical movements. The surgeon passes very little A small wound can complete the surgery. The surgical system includes an enlarged 3D high-definition vision system and a small wrist-type instrument. The degree of bending and rotation is greater than the human hand. It enhances the range of vision, accuracy, and control of the surgery.

9. Exoskeleton robot technology. Exoskeleton robots often appear in many sci-fi films. The protagonist wears the exoskeleton machine to give himself a super warrior and lifts several times. In the medical field, exoskeletons can help people with disabilities work and recover from injuries. This year, Double Eleven, Jingdong equipped logistics workers with an exoskeleton robot to help reduce their lumbar spine injuries.

10. Non-invasive blood test. For patients suffering from haemorrhoids, pain sensitivity, and chronic blood tests that require frequent blood tests, going to the hospital for needles is a very painful experience. If AR technology helps doctors and nurses to accurately find veins and relieve patients' pain, then the non-invasive blood test technique completely avoids the pain of needle sticks.

This year, BOE launched a non-invasive blood test system, BOE non-invasive blood monitoring. It can measure 14 blood parameters in a minute, painlessly and non-invasively. Through these indicators, it can prompt the user's cardiovascular and blood vessels, blood components, and blood circulation. Blood metabolism and other related diseases. Compared to other sensing devices on the market, BOE non-invasive blood monitoring is a truly medical grade product.

Advances in medical technology have made more and more diseases treated, and new technologies are gradually replacing traditional treatments. We have reason to believe that these smart medical technologies will definitely redefine the medical industry and bring about tremendous changes in our lives.
