Biosensor is another interesting development in medical technology. They are used to track blood pressure, pulse, breathing and body temperature. Biosensors can even help to track the amount of fluid in the lungs of heart failure patients and alert healthcare practitioners at the hospital, thereby improving healthcare delivery.
Another exciting development is 3D bioprinting. 3D printing also known as additive manufacturing has been around for some time and has helped in the evolution of 3D bioprinting. 3D bioprinting helps use living cells to create various human body parts such as heart valves, skin, cartilage, etc. for use in medicine. Bioprinting also has potentials to create drugs and pills as well as entire organs from a patients own body cells. It has also improved medical research and training.
Virtual and augmented reality also help to examine the 3d representation of the human body and various parts. It helps a lot in diagnosis. Quality healthcare helps to improve diagnosis, provides better treatment and quality solutions and biotechnology is really helping in achieving this objective.
