The criticality of the purpose of a medical solution is an important factor in eliminating the effects of interference. Although wireless interfaces such as wireless local area networks and Bluetooth low-power technologies can be used for large-scale network operations, and this low-power technology can improve many components used in the original Bluetooth technology, interference in the operating environment of the device The range and number will make this type of interface unusable for some applications. Therefore, many implantable devices and important care devices require proprietary solutions to provide better control and awareness of electromagnetic interference, sensitivity, and range requirements.
Individualized medicine
Today's society has a "disease care" system, but there is no health care system. In the next 15 to 20 years, technological innovation will transfer more investment and responsibility for health care, early detection and prevention to consumers.
In the next 20 years, the vast majority of the world's population will be able to use their own imaging and non-imaging diagnostic devices to detect their own health. For example, gastric regulators can be implanted in the body to treat obesity and alcohol abuse; digital band-aids can be used to monitor wound conditions and provide signs of infection; high-performance sensors built into the toilet can continuously measure the number of bacteria in the stool and warn Infection and other diseases. And these are just a few of them. The mobile phone can be used as a powerful platform to provide timely feedback to individuals and their health care service personnel based on predetermined parameters. In the next 20 years, before the actual symptoms of diabetes patients, their mobile phones may be able to warn patients and doctors about the occurrence of diabetic shock. Hundreds of different applications are currently available to help patients monitor their health and self-care through medical technology.
The integrity of the data and the flexibility and mobility of the system are key features of most patient care systems. Through the interface such as Ethernet or wireless network, all the devices in the hospital and the patient's home can form a network. Today's interfaces allow doctors to use the hospital's internal network or patient's home security system or cell phone to remotely connect to the wireless sensor worn by the patient, and the entire system uses Ethernet or medical call centers to continuously monitor patients. Home situation. In addition to power consumption, data rates and ranges are two additional considerations that must be considered when choosing a wireless interface. The high frequency range of 2.4 GHz provides multi-channel high-speed data rates and duty cycles across the globe. However, low frequencies increase the signal range. For multi-channel full monitoring, the range can be limited to a fixed position, and the data rate can be increased to the maximum. When monitoring multiple sensors, the range is more important than the data rate. In short, the choice of solution must meet the needs of system power consumption and data transmission.
Implantable mechanism
In the next 20 years, all implantable devices will use electronic devices to provide non-invasive assessments. For example, the current cardiac surgery stent can only be used to clear the artery. Future stents will be equipped with sensors using radio frequency identification technology on the wall. As long as the sensor rod is swept over the patient's chest, the vascular condition can be obtained wirelessly. feedback of.
The artificial disk containing the sensor will be implanted into the patient's buttocks, spine or knee joint to monitor the force of the site in a non-invasive manner and to determine if the implant device is functioning properly. If the force is too large, or the implant device is not working properly, the sensor will first warn the patient and the health care service personnel to make timely adjustments.
Today's high-performance sensors are not widely used in medical devices because the proteins and immune systems in the human body attack these devices, making these sensors ineffective for long-term use. In the next 20 years, innovative technologies in cell biology will be used to prevent the body from treating sensors as foreign objects. Compatible biomaterials will become critical for all implantable devices.
Optical technology
In the near future, optical related technologies will enable medical professionals to observe chemical changes in human tissue. If the absorption and reflection properties of certain light are applied to human tissue, the doctor can quickly and easily distinguish between normal tissue and precancerous tissue in a non-invasive manner. This technique is especially useful for observing critical conditions in the esophagus, skin and mouth.
Spectroscopy will be widely used for early detection of rectal polyps over the next 20 years. The rectal optical probe is inserted into the patient to determine if there is a rectal polyp and whether a colonoscopy is needed. Currently, more than 100 million colonoscopys are performed each year, and this technology will ultimately reduce the number of non-essential medical procedures for patients, thereby reducing the cost of health care. At the same time, the non-invasive nature of the probe will facilitate preventive screening of patients who are unwilling to undergo colonoscopy to ensure good health.
Another future optical technology is the use of long light waves for medical imaging of subcutaneous tissue. This technique will be used for vascular examination before venous control in laparoscopic surgery to distinguish between nerves and blood vessels. All of these technologies will use optoelectronic devices such as electronics, lasers and LEDs.
Stem cell therapy
Regarding the trend of future medical care, we must not ignore the stem cell therapy that will be widely used in the next 20 years. In the scientific community, there is now a growing understanding of how to convert stem cells into cell types with different functions. The cultivation and isolation of stem cells requires a variety of devices in which biochemical reactors using electronic devices can create a suitable environment to differentiate the types of cells and place the cells in the desired location.
Electronic devices also have a key role in distinguishing between available types of cells. Innovative technologies will be used to deliver cells back to the patient. Biomaterials play an important role in the process of repairing and regenerating cells into the body.
Innovation and development are difficult to predict. The medical trends in the next 20 years may be different from the current forecasts and are likely to evolve more advanced. Therefore, innovative technologies that have not yet appeared will become the standard of care after 10 years of development.
The field of medical technology is quite large, and the opportunities are infinitely broad. Although many innovative technologies are now being carried out in the United States, global cooperation in countries such as Western Europe, Russia, Israel, China and India is promoting these future trends.
