Promising Medical Technologies in 2015
Like every year medGadget published it´s prediction for the “best medical technology of 2015”.
Below you´ll find a summary and a link of these promising technologies:
- Eyes-On Wearable Ultrasound and Infrared Glasses
- Nanoparticles and Vascular Stents for Busting Brain Clots
- Paralyzed People Walk Again (exoskeletons & non-invasive spinal cord stimulation)
- XStat Rapid Hemostasis to stop bleeding
- Fetal Pacemaker
- Light Powered Cardiac Pacemaker
- Light Producing Sleep Mask for Preventing Diabetic Retinopathy
- EarLens Laser-based Hearing Device
- WiSE Wireless Technology for LV Heart Pacing Without Coronary Sinus Leads
Number 1-3 really stood out to me and it´s great to see that wearable & implantable devices experience constant and fast improvement. I was missing Theranos lab testing on the list, in my eyes a strong candidate even with the controversial press the company received.
I am glad to work in an environment that helps to drive innovation improving people’s lives.
Looking forward to all the medtech innovation in 2016.
Have a great start into the year.

8ySimon the great thing about the technologies and the driving vision of our quality healthcare and using better accurate touch points is the ability to gather and Analyze the data bring the combination of Clinical, claims and sensors that bring visual predictive capabilities for treatment continuum. It is the bringing the data to the right platform that makes this Machine Learning and better care possible. I agree on the Theranos review as well, we live in a connected integrated global healthcare market, my dream is still to have our Medicine move from "Reactive vs. Proactive" health and use Monitoring along with drive Full Genomic tests to be added to the pool of Claims, Clinical data for IoT to use an Objective patient view. Thanks for your views, I appreciate the accuracy and depth.
