Overview of the Medical Technology
De Martin Matthias
Abstract
Medical technology, or "Medtech," is a broad phrase that encompasses a wide range of healthcare products intended to address human diseases and medical issues. Early detection, less invasive treatment options, and shorter hospital stays and rehabilitation times are all intended to improve the quality of care provided. In recent years, medical technological improvements have also emphasized cost-cutting. Medical technology, in its broadest definition, includes medical devices, information technology, biotechnology, and healthcare services. As a result of medical technology's effects, social and ethical issues develop. Instead of reading subjective patient reports, physicians, for example, can employ technology to gather objective data.
