- Back in the 1920s, people could not have even thought of such a miraculous remedy as penicillin.
- Back in the 1960s, MRI was a meaningless set of letters.
- Back in the 2000s, Retinal replacement seemed to be beyond belief.
Over time, even the most mind-boggling ideas have come to fruition and the names of their conceivers have subsequently been perpetuated forever. As the years go by, we are able to keep track of upcoming innovations online. Therefore I am presenting a list of cutting-edge medical inventions which make you believe the future is closer than you might think!
3D printing and prosthetics
The image below, for instance, might seem a result of artificial intelligence's well-modeled work, and in fact, it is true. However, the scientists from 3DBio Therapeutics
are bound to prove their "creative" abilities too. In 2022 they already performed an operation to replace the ear of a young girl who had microtia with an ear created with 3d printer within only 10 minutes!
Trendy self-diagnosis
Is it worth taking one more selfie if it may well justify whether you are in jeopardy? It is Washington's University that gives a definite answer. Their smartphone app recognises pancreatic cancer, one of the symptoms of which are yellow whites of the eyes. This symptom, however, shows up on late-stage of cancer, which postpones treatment. The app, though, detects the smallest manifestation of yellowness, irrespective of the stage the person is on.
Drones come to the rescue
Medical delivery drones are being planned to be released in the near future. Not only will the convey the medicine, but also blood bags and even organs, as high stability will enable the device to get to hard-to-reach places easily.
It was a selection of innovations you might have not heard of! Thank you for your attention!
