The
year isn’t even half over, and 2015 is already shaping up to be a
banner year for medical technology. From cancer treatments to pain
relief to robots, the new treatments of the 21st century keeps getting
more awesome. For example, computers are a wonderful innovation for
hospitals, but they harbor germs from every finger that touches them. So
what do we do about that?
8. Holographic Keyboards
Holographic
keyboards might seem like a trivial and useless technology for the
medical industry, however that is far from the case. While modern
hospitals aim to be as clean as humanly possible, people still wind up
getting infections from germs within hospitals. Actually, around 100,000
people each year die from hospital infections, and holographic
keyboards can help reduce the spread. Technologies like the HaptoMime
would provide hospital staff members with a virtual screen that you can
interact with, without touching it at all. These devices then would curb
the spread of deadly infections.
And that’s just the first one on the list of
8 Brilliant Advances in Medical Technology in 2015 you’ll find at Worthly.
