Although the medical industry is relatively conservative and rational, it always brings unexpected surprises every once in a while. In the past year, there have been many surprising and unexpected medical technologies, some of which may become new diagnostic methods, and some that will allow people with severe illness to regain their freedom. New medical technologies are changing the way doctors learn and care for patients. For this, summarize some of the most important and innovative medical technologies we believe. Ultrasound Although the use of ultrasound to image the body is nothing new, and technological improvements have been going on for years, some new developments have brought some surprises. Healcerion and Clarius have developed wireless ultrasound sensors without a screen, using a mobile phone or tablet as an interactive interface. Due to their small size and portability, they can be carried by doctors like a stethoscope. Two other interesting ultrasound applications are: Bindex devices for osteoporosis screening, and Signostics Uscan for imaging and measuring the bladder. Both products are inspected and diagnosed in an automated manner, without the need for manual calculation by the clinician. Prosthetic and mind control When it comes to prosthetics, there have been some incredible developments in the past year that can free people who have suffered serious injuries or illnesses to lose their abilities. The first thing I have to mention is the first Cybathlon semi-robot Olympics that I reported before. It can be said to be a fusion of Paralympics and robotics, but unlike the Paralympics, its competitions are more concerned with the challenges faced by people with disabilities in daily life, such as cutting bread with prostheses, going up and down stairs, washing clothes, etc. . There are bicycle races, wheelchair races, etc. in the competition, which need to be completed by disabled people, engineers and rehabilitation experts. In a bicycle race, the participant's leg muscles are activated by electrical stimulation. Cybathlon demonstrates what modern technology can achieve when we are free to develop tools to improve our lives. Another exciting development is that a lot of research has shown that through the thinking and consciousness, it is possible to control the prosthesis and use the computer. Not long ago, a joint agency in Europe developed a brain-controlled arm and exoskeleton. Patients with paralyzed limbs can be controlled with amazing precision, using spoons, drinking with cups, and even picking up fragile potatoes. The film is placed in the entrance. Moreover, the artificial limb does not need to implant a sensor in the brain, but uses an electroencephalogram reading device such as EEG, and then uses a computer to interpret the intention in the signal. In addition, at the end of the year, the US military black science department DARPA's LUKE biomimetic prosthesis finally entered the production stage after 8 years of development and 2 years of approval by the FDA (US Food and Drug Administration). DARPA is currently working with the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center to provide two LUKE arms for use by doctors who require prosthetics. LUKE can process multiple instructions at once, which allows it to move as naturally as possible. In the early tests, LUKE was already available for combing, unlocking, and quite flexible.
