Innovations in Medical Devices and Technology in India

Throughout the decades, India has achieved significant improvements in the healthcare industry and has emerged as an industry leader. The healthcare industry has experienced a profound upheaval as a consequence of the advent of MedTech plus significant technological breakthroughs. However, the pandemic struck the industry pretty hard, and now it’s struggling back to reach the pre-pandemic conditions. This blog shall discuss various recent innovations in medical devices, which are expected to significantly improve patient outcomes.

MRNA Technology

For the common lot, mRNA technology came under the limelight during the pandemic, upon the release of mRNA-based vaccines. Messenger RNA(mRNA) is a molecule that is responsible for carrying the information necessary for protein formation. DNA information must first be converted, or replicated, into mRNA since it cannot be immediately processed into proteins.

The creation of vaccines has shown to be a remarkable use of mRNA (and potentially other innovative therapeutics). When introduced inside cells, these mRNAs trigger the production of proteins corresponding to those found in a particular viral coat. Encountering the foreign proteins, the human body produces antibodies, which later come into use for fighting in case the same virus tries to infect the body. 

Virtual Reality

The technology that enables a person to recreate a scenario or experience of interest utilizing a VR headset and an interactive, computer-generated environment is known as virtual reality (VR). Virtual reality serves as a boon for medical training. Virtual reality (VR) technology may be used to replicate any medical event, allowing students to respond to it as if it were genuine. Feedback and a recap are then given to help them, if necessary, gain insight into their errors. VR allows students to operate on bodies, virtually. However, the quality is great and realistic enough to train them. 

Neurotechnology

The term neurotechnology describes any technique that enhances understanding of brain or neurological functionality or has an impact on these systems’ performance. Neurotechnology is being widely used in various brain imaging, stimulation procedures, and innovations in medical devices. Although lots of research is required, neurotechnology has the potential to bring treatments for serious brain disorders. 

Artificial intelligence

Very soon the days of misdiagnosis and wrong treatment would be far behind, credit to the incorporation of artificial intelligence in the medical field. The algorithms and innovations in medical devices can be very useful in classifying various diseases and analyzing images, within a few seconds with high accuracy. Other uses include the automatization of data collection and storage, providing a better patient experience. 

3D printing

In a wide range of ways, 3D printing in healthcare enables healthcare providers to offer patients a novel kind of treatment. Modern surgical cutting as well as drill guides, prostheses, and patient-specific reproductions of bones, organs, and arteries are all made using 3D printing. The best part is that these can be made very quickly, and tailored to a patient’s unique anatomy. 

Precision medicine

Also known as “personalized medicine”, this is another innovative treatment approach. The goal is to provide treatment customized according to the anatomy and particular needs of a patient. For example, instead of following the treatment plan for a liver cancer patient, someone suffering from lung cancer can be provided with a personalized plan for efficient treatment with fewer side effects. 

CRISPR

Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats is collectively known as CRISPR. It is a DNA-chopping element of bacterial immune systems that has been transformed into a tool for editing genes. CRISPR shows great prospects in treating various genetic diseases such as sickle cell anemia, hemophilia, thalassemia, etc. 

Telemedicine

Telemedicine is the delivery of clinical services remotely through virtual means (video calls or phone calls usually) between the patient and the healthcare professional. Though it can’t replace physical visits, it provides convenience to patients, who can reach out to doctors anytime. Telemedicine is a great way for follow-ups after initial doctor visits, to enquire about dosage adjustments or other doubts. 

Health wearables

Wearable technology is the current trend in the healthcare market. Devices such as wearable blood pressure and glucose monitors, fitness tracking watches, ECG patches, etc come under this category. Innovations in medical devices can help individuals to monitor their health easily, without the need for frequent checkups. 

Technology in Mental Health

Mental health treatment has found a new approach with the introduction of technology. New devices with sensors are coming up in the market, which can sense users’ moods and stress levels. Therapy has become more accessible through the use of smartphones, laptops, and computers. 

Technological advancements and innovations in medical devices are taking place rapidly, and the pace is expected to increase in near future. Ayu Health is one of the most advanced and technologically-driven healthcare providers in India. Don’t wait more, reach out at 6366100800 now!
