3-D PRINTING Surgeries are very complicated and involve a lengthy process. Precision is very important and practicing it beforehand is highly crucial. Doctors use 3-D models for practicing the surgeries. The 3-D printing machine models are made in accordance with the patient’s anatomy. In recent times, few important developments in 3-D printing have come in external prosthetics, cranial or orthopedic implants, and custom airway stents. It has also been helpful in surgical planning as well in complex open heart surgeries. There are researches being carried out to print human tissue that will make organ transplants possible. ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE The biggest problem in making a drug for a rare disease is the huge data of the patients and their compliance. Many researchers and pharmaceutical companies are taking the help of AI to organize the data from the medical records and nd commonalities with the diseases. AI has been a huge plus point for doctors and general practitioners as it helps to collect and nd the data of the patients whenever required. This technology is transforming all areas of the healthcare industry, from work process control and diagnostics to process automatization, productivity-enhancing, and enhancements in diagnostics accuracy. RNA-BASED THERAPEUTICS Recently, RNA-based therapeutics are being used where RNA is modied or replaced before it forms into a protein. It allows the clinicians to detect any genetic abnormality beforehand and treat the problem by replacing it accordingly with functioning or non-functioning proteins. Advancement in RNA therapeutics may even lead to solving the problems of rare diseases like Huntington’s disease, neurologic disorders, and several forms of cancer. NEW IMMUNOTHERAPY TECHNIQUES Basically, immunotherapy is a treatment for cancer. In this type of treatment, white blood cells are increased in the patient’s body so as to ght against various diseases. A variety of experiments are being carried out in combination with joint therapy and engineered T-cells that can prove to be effective against a wide range of tumor cells. 38 | June 2019 |
ROBOTIC SURGERY Robotics has been administered in various medical treatments. Nanobots are being administered in bloodstreams of the patients that can diagnose and prevent diseases. Movement disabilities can be monitored by exoskeletons with the assistance of physical therapy. One of the major innovations of 2019 is robotic surgery. Now, robots can be useful in performing various procedures during surgery. A robot can perform tasks and provide medical assistance like giving an injection and gathering information. There are supporting robots that manage to courier medical instruments and other related supplies. TELEHEALTH With everything being digitized, there was a need to monitor a person’s health through digital services. Now, this has become possible. Doctors can monitor their patient's health even from a distance. The doctor can make a primary conclusion from analyzing the report that is generated digitally. This way, the expenses of the patients are reduced to a great extent. HEALTH WEARABLE As it is said in a famous quote, ‘Precaution is better than cure’, it is important to maintain a healthy life. People have started to understand that being healthy is really helpful in avoiding any future diseases or disorders. There are various companies that have invented unique health wearable that help a person track his/her own health. One can monitor the heart rate, glucose level, physical activity, and also sleep timings with these. This way, the person can analyze where he is lacking and work on it, accordingly. GENOMICS A person’s identity is from his/her genes. Even, what disease can affect a person is decided by the genetic make of the body. Biotech companies have come up with technology that can be helpful in decoding individual genomic makeup and aid in enhancing the diagnosis and treatment for various genetic and nongenetic diseases. These companies are further trying to develop a personalized treatment with the help of this technology. In 2017, CRISPR, a gene editing tool was used to successfully edit human embryos in which hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, a complex heart disease, within 42 embryos was eradicated. Technology has been proving to be working hand in hand with the healthcare industry for the betterment of the quality of care provided. Every day, the world witness’s new developments and with this mankind is moving towards more accurate and affordable treatment options. - Shambhavi Mhetre, Editor | June 2019 | 39
