Georgetown: Medical technologies save lives, improve health and contribute to sustainable healthcare. These technologies are developed and produced to offer people the option of a healthier lifestyle.
This was disclosed Thursday by President of STARR Computer Inc., Michael Mohan during a Medical Technology Seminar hosted yesterday (Thursday, August 27) at the company’s head office for students within the field.
Mohan explained that innovative medical technology is an increasingly important driver for delivering efficiencies in healthcare systems.
Adding that the shift from in-patient to out-patient care provides substantial cost savings, as well as improving quality of life, Mohan underscored that the value of these increased technological efficiencies cannot be overstated.
In one of his many examples, Mohan noted that three-dimensional (3D) printing has generated a swell of interest in artificial organs meant to replace, or even enhance, human machinery.
He explained that scientists are looking ahead to radical emerging technologies that use live cells as ‘ink’, assembling them layer-by-layer into rudimentary tissues.
Meanwhile, Mohan emphasized that the breakthroughs in information gathering, research, treatments, and communications have given medical providers new tools to work with and fresh ways to practice medicine.
In noting the benefits, Mohan noted that the Internet has become a main source of medical information since healthcare facilities and providers are reaching patients using social media. This also adds to improved patient care and worker efficiency, resulting in doctors being easier to reach and better at their job.
Underscoring one of the major medical advances, Mohan said in the United States patients can use implantable computer chip which is a secure database that holds a person’s medical information, including allergies and prior treatment. The electronic database, not the chip, would be updated with each medical visit.
The medical students were also enlightened on the topic of Renewable Energy and they were given a field trip to the company’s Solar Showroom, and, it’s Roof Garden for a demonstration of its Wind Turbine and Sun-tracking Solar Panel which fulfills majority of STARR Computer energy demands.
