Tech innovations saving lives today

Technology is here today for several reasons, mainly to make our lives easier and to help prolong life. Today, the health segment of technology continues its rise, even as more and more people place a higher premium on their health given the exuberant cost of healthcare in the country. According to TJR Global, health tech is worth billions of dollars in the market today and manufacturers and engineers constantly come up with tech innovations that save lives and improve the lifestyle of people.

Let’s take a look at wearables. Wearable tech began with smart watches and have incorporated technology to make it more health oriented. This has resulted in products like the FitBit. Today, we are seeing bigger upgrades with technology that can read biometric data. We have seen smart watches equipped with EKG sensors. Conditions like atrial fibrillation alone already affect over 2.5 million Americans annually. This goes to show that wearable health tech is no longer invaluable; it’s life-saving.

Before, the only tech you can place inside your body is a pacemaker. But today, swallow-able biometric scanners in the form of Smart Pills are available to help physicians diagnose internal organs, deliver medicine, as well as internally scan for images. This technology can detect warning signs for illnesses such as ulcer, cancer, and GI tract bleeds. What’s great about this technology is that it’s far cheaper than previous alternatives.

On the side of healthcare personnel, one technology that’s been receiving more and more attention is remote consultations and monitoring in the form of telemedicine. This technology allows a patient to see their doctor from the comfort of their home or in their hospital bed. At the same time, the doctor doesn’t need to leave his or her office in order to see these online patients. Tech experts at TJR Global believe that this tech allows them to conduct their work safely and efficiently as well.
