3D Printing: Medical Devices
Besides being used in manufacturing plastic products, 3D printing is also used in other industries, such as medical devices. Due to its ability to create custom bones, limbs, and implants, many companies currently use this technology to treat various conditions. According to experts, 3D printers could eventually be used to create customized parts for people who need organ transplants in the future. They also believe that this technology could be used to create replacement limbs for amputees. Unfortunately, scientists are still working on making this technology possible.
Nanobots
Because of nanotechnology, we can now detect and treat diseases earlier, leading to longer lives. One of the most recent applications of nanotechnology in dentistry is its ability to improve the quality of care. Once this technology is widely used, dental procedures are expected to become more effective and result in fewer cavities. In addition, nanobots can also be used to deliver medication directly to the targeted area. For instance, they can be used to treat cancer cells by injecting nanoparticles into the bloodstream. These particles can then be used to release drugs that can hinder the growth of tumors.
More Custom Care
Patients must receive the best possible care, considering their situations and needs. In addition to taking a medical history, many hospitals and doctors now collect personal information about their patients, such as their lifestyles and diet. This data can then be used to develop effective treatments and improve the quality of their care. According to experts, by 2025, many hospitals will start offering personalized medicine, allowing doctors to identify their patients' genetic makeup and prescribe based on their condition. This trend is expected to accelerate due to the availability of genome sequences.
