According to researchers, the number of IT personnel required in the medical field is likely to increase by 21%. There seems to be a huge demand for innovative and computer-savvy individuals in health care. Medical professionals have discovered that technology can complement what they do or even make their work easier. Below are some of the revolutionary innovations that are changing health care delivery:

New Technologies in Healthcare

1. Chip Organs

Before a drug is approved by the FDA for human consumption, it has to undergo numerous tests and trials on rodents – which is the most preferred animal for testing. For example, it has to go through in vivo trials, and then go through 4 phases of testing. By the time the product is ready for launch, many animals have died in the testing, and the company has used millions of dollars. Furthermore, patients in need of such a cure are left waiting, worsening their condition. The good news is that scientists have come up with organs on a chip to speed up the testing. These artificial organs mimic the same ones found in humans, eliminating the need for animal subjects.

2. 3D Organs

Thanks to 3D technology, amputees can quickly get organ replacements. The 3D printer takes a short time to create the organ for the patient, speeding up its installation. Already, this process is being used in many different ways such as, creating drugs by pharmaceutical companies, how doctors may plan for certain procedures, and of course, medical implants.
