10 Technology in medical
1. Electronic
aspirin
Electronic
Aspirin is a medical technology powered for patients to help them relieve pain.
For example, for patient that has migraines, cluster headaches, and other
ongoing head and facial pain. The size of the electronic aspirin is
almond-size. Usually this device is implanted behind the nasal passages, eye
sockets, and in the patient’s upper gum area near the area where the patient
experiences the most pain. The implant is attached to the Sphenopalatine
Ganglion (SPG), which is a collection of nerves deep in the bone cavity of the
mid-face area. The permanently embedded implant has a pointed tip which
connects with the SPG bundle of nerves. When a patient senses the first sign of
a headache, he/she then places a hand-held remote control device on the cheek
area nearest the implanted device. When the patient presses the remote, a
slight electrical charge stimulates nerve cells, which works to block the pain
signals being sent out. The patient has complete control of the device which is
they can turn it off and on as often as needed. Moreover, the patient also can
leave it as is or take it out, when no longer necessary.
2. Smart
inhaler
Smart
inhalers are inhaler with extra digital feature that use Bluetooth technology which
the sensor will help to track inhaler use, remind patients when to take their
medication and gather data to help guide care. They have the potential to
improve patients’ adherence to asthma therapies and keep their condition under
control. They are Bluetooth-enabled, so can be paired wireless with a smart
device like a phone or tablet or with a computer to allow data to be
transferred from the smart inhaler automatically. Smart inhalers can give a
signal that a patient is overusing their preventer medicine which is suggesting
their asthma are poorly controlled. An informed and engaged clinician, though,
can get the same signal without smart inhalers by looking at how much preventer
or reliever medication a patient has used.
33. Micro needle
patch
Micro needles
patches are designed as drug and vaccine delivery platform which can be applied
to the skin like a patch. When pressed onto the skin surface, the needles are
able to cross the very outermost layer of the skin, which then creates
microscopic pores, allowing the medicine or vaccine to enter the body. Because
the needles are very small, the dermal nerves and blood vessels aren’t
affected, so there is no pain or bleeding when the patch is applied. Instead,
patches covered with micro needles have been described as feeling similar to
Velcro or a cat’s tongue when touched.
44. Smart
bandages
Smart
bandages are designed to monitor and treat chronic wounds with integrated
sensors and automatic drug release. The smart bandage has pH
and temperature sensors, which can analyse the wound’s condition and how those
numbers correlate to the proper healing process. Temperature can also alert the
smart bandage to inflammation. The smart bandage can further deliver specific
treatments, such as antibiotics or pain medication, in response to the sensors
that track inflammation and infection. By providing real-time data on the
healing progress and delivering medicine when necessary, smart bandages have
the potential to reduce the need for additional doctor visits or virtual
appointments. It also has an applications in bed sores, burns, and
surgical wounds which can reduce complications from infections and reduce the
number of amputations.
55. Artificial
pancreas device system
The
Artificial Pancreas Device System is a system of devices that closely mimics
the glucose regulating function of a healthy pancreas. Most
Artificial Pancreas Device Systems consists of three types of devices already
familiar to many people with diabetes which is a continuous glucose monitoring
system (CGM), an insulin infusion pump and a blood glucose device (such as a
glucose meter) which is used to calibrate the CGM. A computer-controlled
algorithm connects the CGM and insulin infusion pump to allow continuous
communication between the two devices. Sometimes an artificial pancreas device
system is referred to as an automated insulin delivery system for glycaemic
control. An Artificial Pancreas Device System will not only monitors glucose
levels in the body but also automatically adjusts the delivery of insulin to
reduce high blood glucose levels (hyperglycemia) and minimize the incidence of
low blood glucose (hypoglycemia) with little or no input from the patient.
6. Smart
diabetic sock
The
smart diabetic socks are made up of neuro fabric, which is a textile wearable
with embedded micro sensors. The sensors are virtually undetectable to the
user. The socks have the same look and feel of a normal sock, are machine
washable, and contain moisture-wicking fabric to remove moisture from the foot.
The objective of this smart diabetic sock is to prevent pressure foot ulcers in
diabetic persons. It is also made of a textile which fibers are knitted in a
way they provide measurements of the pressure exerted under and all around the
foot in real-life conditions. This device is coupled with a subject-specific Finite
Element foot model that simulates the internal strains within the soft tissues
of the foot. Results a number of derived stress indicators can be computed
based on that analysis, such as the accumulated stress dose, high internal
strains or peak pressures near bony prominence during gait. In case of risks
for pressure ulcer, an alert is sent to the person and/or to the clinician. A
watch, a smart-phone or a distant laptop can be used for providing such alert. All
wearers have to do is put on their socks like they would any other day. Six
miniature temperature sensors in the fabric of sock track the temperature at
the bottom of the wearer’s feet. These sensors are placed at the six most
common sites of injury such as plantar surface or bottom of the foot.
77. Robotic Nurse Assistant
RIBA
(Robot for Interactive Body Assistance) is a nursing assistant robot. RIBA’s
nickname, Robobear, comes from the large teddy-bear-like head that sits atop
the robot. RIBA is using high-precision tactile sensors and flexible motor
control technology which can lift a patient up to 80 kg in weight off
floor-level bedding and into a wheelchair as well as helping those who need
assistance to stand up. Robobear can play an important role in taking the strain
off nurses and caregivers, who may be having to lift patients 40 or more times
a day, risking lower-back pain in the process.
88. Wearable Monitoring Patches
Wearable
monitoring patches is lightweight, flexible and disposable skin patch that enables
diagnostics, fitness and diabetes monitoring, and medication delivery. This
patches are using proprietary application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs)
and advanced nano materials such as graphene, which can detect tiny amounts of
toxins, proteins, DNA or chemicals cutaneous. Sensor modules equipped with
reverse e-nose technology can be trained to identify person-specific
environmental factors that can cause asthma or an allergic reaction. They also can
help individuals track their health, patients with chronic diseases manage
their conditions, and the elderly manage their well-being. For example, this
device can be used to detect cystic fibrosis, monitor blood pressure and many
other conditions. All this can be achieved remotely, without the need for a
visit to a clinic or hospital. Patches can be individually
customized to create discharge and home monitoring kits for hospitals, nursing
homes and physicians to efficiently monitor health and reduce re admissions without
the need for a battery.
99. Wireless stethoscope
Wireless
stethoscope was developed to monitor and display heartbeat sound using wireless
digital stethoscope. The purpose of digital stethoscope is to improve the sound
resolution, allow variable amplification, minimize interference noise and
simplify the output signal. Besides, this device will provide a visualization
and data storage using GUI application and database for future medical expert
personnel verification. This digital stethoscope can reduce the auscultation
problem that is easily affected by the movement and noise surrounding. Beside
the heart sound, the digital stethoscope can be used to monitor heart rate.
There are many types of sensor used to detect the heart rate signal, such as
surface electrode, textile electrode, accelerometer sensor and Piezo film
sensor. Graphical user interface (GUI) was develop to monitor the heart rate signal
in the personal computer. In this project, the condenser microphone is used as
a sensor to capture the low sensitivity of heart sound signal. The heart sound
will be transmitted wireless and analysed through graphical user interface
(GUI).
1 10.
Flash glucose monitor
A
flash glucose monitor is a small sensor that patient wear on the skin which will
records the glucose (sugar) levels continuously throughout the day and he/she can
access them by scanning the sensor whenever they want to. The sensor doesn’t
actually measure the blood sugar level, it measures the amount of glucose in
the fluid that surrounds the body cells (interstitial fluid). There is a small
time delay needed when checking this fluid, especially after eating or during
exercising. So flash glucose monitor result isn't always exactly the same as the
finger-prick result. This means patient still need to do a finger-prick test if
they’re thinking of changing for the treatment at any point, like if they need
to take more insulin or if they're treating a hypo, so patient can get the most
accurate result. A flash glucose monitor has two parts which is a sensor that
sits just underneath the skin and measures the sugar level and a reader that
patient swipe over the sensor to get both which is sugar level and the trend of
patient’s glucose levels. Each time patient scan the sensor, they can access
the last eight hours of sugar levels. Flash glucose monitoring also comes with
software so patient can analyse their results and see the patterns in the sugar
levels. Patient will generally wear a sensor for about 14 days, after that they
need to insert a new one.
