Advanced Health Technology

Technology is a whole means to provide the goods necessary for the survival and comfort of human life. The use of technology by humans begins with the conversion of natural resources into simple tools. Prehistoric discovery of the ability to control the fire have raised the availability of food resources, while reinventing the wheel helped humans in traveling, and control their environment. Recent technological developments, including the printing press, the telephone, and the Internet, have far physical barriers to communication and allowed humans to interact freely on a global scale. However, not all technology is used for peaceful purposes; the development of increasingly intense destructive weapons has taken place throughout history, from clubs to nuclear weapons. Technology has affected society and its surroundings in many ways. In many societies, technology has helped improve the economy (including today’s global economy) and has allowed an increase in the leisure. Many technological processes produce unwanted byproducts, called polluters, and deplete natural resources, harming and damaging the Earth and its environment. Various kinds of application of technology has affected the value of a society and new technology often raises new ethical questions. For example, the widespread notion of efficiency in the context of human productivity, a term that was originally only involves machining, another example is the challenge of traditional norms. This is harmful to the environment and human isolate; advocate ideologies such as transhumanism and techno-progressivism view the process sustainable technologies as useful to the society, the human condition and health technology. Of course, at least until recently, it was believed that the development of the technology is only limited to the human race, but scientific studies newest hinted that other primates, and the community of dolphins particular have developed simple tools and learned to pass on their knowledge to their descendants.

2.2 Effect of Technological Progress in the Field of Health

Nowadays, information technology has grown very rapidly and have an impact to various fields of human life including the health sector. Progress in the health sector due to the technological advances in science. So many findings obtained from the information technology both in terms of organizing a treatment and the development of health research.

Advances in technology in the health sector growing so rapidly. The development of these technologies can be seen from the many changes to the system used in hospitals from ancient times to the present. Anciently systems used in the health sector is more user while the current changes in the health sector through a combination of technology has created a wide range of the latest treatment techniques that had never been considered before. The enormous technological advances in the field of health, with the development of technology impact the development of knowledge so fast. Such as, the use of information technology to support health information management that has the capability of processing more quickly with a variety of the latest innovative applications. In general the technology in the health field that are changing so rapidly that in the use of medical records. With a computer-based medical record will collect a variety of complete patient clinical data.

     Other technological advances that their electronic prescriptions. If in ancient times, prescribing manually even allow for mistakes. At this time, the electronic prescription is expected to reduce reading errors by others who treat these recipes into drugs given to patients. In addition, electronic prescriptions are part of a patient’s health record system that will help health workers to avoid the mistakes that typically occur in prescribing drugs such as drug interactions, how to use the wrong, or the prevention of drug-induced allergic reactions. In addition, the advanced tools in the health sector that serves to support the treatment of patients as an ultrasound machine that can detect the disease early, a heart transplant, a kidney transplant and other technology weapons development. The emerging technology demand the realization of positive impacts on people’s lives, especially in the health sector.

It is undeniable that advances in technology provide a lot of influence in the health field. That influence can be either positive or negative influence. With increasingly rapid technological advances bring great changes in the society.

Recent Health Technology Invention

  • MelaFind: Skin Cancer Scanner Based Electromagnetic Waves

This tool serves as a detector capable of distinguishing moles are harmless to skin cancer (melanoma), a deadly cancer that attacks the skin and has a shape similar to a mole. Examination of melanoma generally use a tissue sample or more commonly called a biopsy. However, sometimes the procedure is considered ineffective because it could be suspected of being a mole that turned out not dangerous cancer. This equipment utilizes the technology of photography with different types of electromagnetic wavelengths. Then the data obtained are matched with melanoma database that has been collected before. The following illustration sightings date device health

  • Aspirin Electric

Headaches and migraines can generally be relieved by aspirin. Now scientists succeeded in developing advanced medical devices that can fight the pain of migraines and headaches. These include a small electrical signal transmitter that can be implanted in cranial (skull), especially in the jaw bergusi. Such a device would emit electrical impulses to block pain signals emitted by the head part of the nervous system called the sphenopalatine ganglion (SPG) is.

  • Plaster Anti Diabetes

Controlling glucose levels or blood sugar in people with diabetes mellitus or diabetes is generally done using a blood test periodically. It is certainly very disturbing comfort and must be done carefully so as not infected with various types of disease-causing microbes. However, Echo Therapeutic, a provider of medical equipment successfully developed anti-diabetic plaster. The plaster can be applied to the skin and its bio-sensor will detect biochemical changes in the skin due to fluctuations in blood sugar levels. The information obtained is sent wirelessly to the special monitor. Easy, is not it? With anti-diabetic plaster, you do not need to bleed again to determine glucose in the blood.

Those are several advanced technologies for our health that we hope can help ourselves to decrease the pain or disease. Because as you know that, health is more important than others.
