Introduction

Technology is not only progressing in the field of smartphones and internet rather it has advanced in the medical field too. It is changing the ways the doctors learn in the medical schools and how they treat their patients. Medical technology is a wider field in which the inventions share an imperative part in the patient’s health. It has specifically progressed in the extents such as biotechnology, pharmaceuticals, information technology, and the manufacturing of the medical equipment ADDIN ZOTERO_ITEM CSL_CITATION {"citationID":"U4eIZk8d","properties":{"formattedCitation":"(\\uc0\\u8220{}5 Ways Technology is Improving Health | UIC Health Informatics,\\uc0\\u8221{} 2016)","plainCitation":"(“5 Ways Technology is Improving Health | UIC Health Informatics,” 2016)","noteIndex":0},"citationItems":[{"id":437,"uris":["http://zotero.org/users/local/Tqq4tlqy/items/LKLHATEP"],"uri":["http://zotero.org/users/local/Tqq4tlqy/items/LKLHATEP"],"itemData":{"id":437,"type":"webpage","title":"5 Ways Technology is Improving Health | UIC Health Informatics","container-title":"Health Informatics Online Masters | Nursing & Medical Degrees","abstract":"A MSHI degree is a first step toward contributing to the evolution of healthcare.

If technology had not provided us with the new equipment and the techniques then we won’t be able to diagnose or treat many of the diseases. The technology has not only helped the doctors to diagnose the patients better, also the patients to be treated better way.

Discussion

Talking about the field of the neurosurgery, the technology has helped the neurosurgeons discover negligibly intrusive means to treat patients with a brain sickness, stated by Frank Hsu, stand-in chairman of the sector of neural operation. He also stated that the advancements in the imaging technology have made neurosurgery harmless and further effective. He further stated that to use of MRI has helped the surgeons to take the images of the brain before the surgery to detect the hotspot of the activity so that they can be avoided. For years, a surgeon handling an aneurysm in a patient's head would require to cut through the cranium, trace the blood vessel and fasten the out-pouching vessel wall. However nowadays, endovascular surgical procedure is prevalent. Aneurysm produces when the walls of some artery deteriorate, making a big bag or lump. Modern techniques, nevertheless, let a surgeon to strand a tube in the cerebral artery of the patient and put a loop or a wire stent into the bag, transmitting blood far from the aneurysm. With the blood no longer thrashing with the walls of aneurysm, it may ultimately cure, as said by Hsu ADDIN ZOTERO_ITEM CSL_CITATION {"citationID":"JaPaQZpF","properties":{"formattedCitation":"(\\uc0\\u8220{}Technology is Changing How Doctors Diagnose, Treat Patients,\\uc0\\u8221{} n.d.)","plainCitation":"(“Technology is Changing How Doctors Diagnose, Treat Patients,” n.d.)","noteIndex":0},"citationItems":[{"id":435,"uris":["http://zotero.org/users/local/Tqq4tlqy/items/5DVYJFJS"],"uri":["http://zotero.org/users/local/Tqq4tlqy/items/5DVYJFJS"],"itemData":{"id":435,"type":"webpage","title":"Technology is Changing How Doctors Diagnose, Treat Patients","abstract":"Three physicians from UC Irvine Health discuss the future of medicine and how medical students are learning ways that technology can be leveraged to improve patient care.","URL":"https://www.govtech.com/health/Technology-is-Changing-How-Doctors-Diagnose-Treat-Patients.html","language":"en","accessed":{"date-parts":[["2019",5,11]]}}}],"schema":"https://github.com/citation-style-language/schema/raw/master/csl-citation.json"} (“Technology is Changing How Doctors Diagnose, Treat Patients,” n.d.).

Refining excellence of life is one of the key profits of assimilating new inventions in the field of medicine. The incorporation of medical equipment technology and telehealth has also formed mechanical operations, however in many cases, doctors do not require to be in the operational chamber with a patient when the operation is executed. In contrary to that the doctors can now operate from their home base, and the patients can be treated in the nearby private clinics close their own hometown, eradicating the disturbances and pressure of travel for the health-related issues. With new mechanical operations, the doctor is yet in the room, controlling the mechanical devices, however the technology agree to a minimally intrusive process that leaves patients with fewer blemishing and expressively shorter regaining period ADDIN ZOTERO_ITEM CSL_CITATION {"citationID":"lxkIXjn5","properties":{"formattedCitation":"(\\uc0\\u8220{}Medical Technology,\\uc0\\u8221{} 2011)","plainCitation":"(“Medical Technology,” 2011)","noteIndex":0},"citationItems":[{"id":430,"uris":["http://zotero.org/users/local/Tqq4tlqy/items/RWVZBHCK"],"uri":["http://zotero.org/users/local/Tqq4tlqy/items/RWVZBHCK"],"itemData":{"id":430,"type":"webpage","title":"Medical Technology","abstract":"Advancements in medical technology have allowed physicians to better diagnose and treat their patients since the beginning of the professional practice of medicine.

Medical experts and doctors are continually doing the research and testing novel measures to help stop, identify, and treat illnesses along with making novel drugs and medications that can reduce indications or cure illnesses. Through the practice of technology in medical study, scientists have been able to inspect illnesses on the level of the cells and generate antibodies to counter them. These inoculations to cure the fatal ailments such as malaria, polio, MMR, and other thwart the blowout of virus and protect thousands of people all around the world ADDIN ZOTERO_ITEM CSL_CITATION {"citationID":"cmvabcXv","properties":{"formattedCitation":"(McCullers & Dunn, 2008)","plainCitation":"(McCullers & Dunn, 2008)","noteIndex":0},"citationItems":[{"id":432,"uris":["http://zotero.org/users/local/Tqq4tlqy/items/U2WAKVZ6"],"uri":["http://zotero.org/users/local/Tqq4tlqy/items/U2WAKVZ6"],"itemData":{"id":432,"type":"article-journal","title":"Advances in Vaccine Technology And Their Impact on Managed Care","container-title":"Pharmacy and Therapeutics","page":"35-41","volume":"33","issue":"1","source":"PubMed Central","abstract":"The discovery of vaccines has led to the near eradication of several important diseases and has had a tremendous impact on health for a relatively low cost.

The introduction of genetic engineering has fueled rapid advances in vaccine technology and is now leading to the entry of new products in the marketplace., In the past, options for the utilization of vaccines in the area of managed care had been quite limited because of the historically straightforward application of immunizations. The growing number and type of vaccine targets, coupled with novel, more effective formulations, adjuvants, and routes of delivery for vaccines, will undoubtedly create new challenges. Although progress in vaccine technology has the potential to prevent illness and reduce the economic burden of diseases in the long term, thereby improving outcomes, ongoing problems remain in the short term., Who should and will pay for these anticipated improvements in health?, How will this period of change be managed?, This article describes the present “vaccine revolution” and attempts to answer these questions, which are becoming increasingly important in managed care.","ISSN":"1052-1372","note":"PMID: 19749990\nPMCID: PMC2730064","journalAbbreviation":"P T","author":[{"family":"McCullers","given":"Jonathan A."},{"family":"Dunn","given":"Jeffrey D."}],"issued":{"date-parts":[["2008",1]]}}}],"schema":"https://github.com/citation-style-language/schema/raw/master/csl-citation.json"} (McCullers & Dunn, 2008).

Conclusion

Technology has helped the patients to cure faster and in a better way. New inventions and the new techniques are opening the ways for the doctors to treat the patients in a better way as many of the diseases are diagnosed only by the use of the technology. So, the technology we can say aids the patients and the doctors both.
