Medical technology refers to the practical application of scientific and engineering knowledge to develop devices, procedures, and systems that prevent, diagnose, monitor, and treat health conditions, ultimately improving patient well-being.
Common examples include MRI scanners, robotic surgery systems, pacemakers, telemedicine platforms, wearable health trackers, in-vitro diagnostics, and AI-driven diagnostic software.
It enhances patient care through earlier and more accurate diagnoses, less invasive treatments, personalized medicine, continuous monitoring, and greater access to healthcare services, including remote care.
Key trends include increased integration of artificial intelligence and machine learning, personalized medicine, nanotechnology, advanced robotics, virtual/augmented reality for training and therapy, and expanded digital health solutions.
