Medical Technologies

Medical technologies encompass a broad spectrum of tools, systems and techniques that support the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of disease. Advances in medical imaging, including X-ray, CT and MRI, have transformed early detection and clinical decision-making by enabling detailed visualisation of internal structures. Telemedicine platforms extend care beyond hospital settings, improving access for patients in remote or underserved regions. Therapeutic devices such as pacemakers, artificial joints, insulin pumps and glucose monitors enhance quality of life and long-term disease management. In surgery, minimally invasive techniques and robotic assistance improve precision while reducing recovery time. Although these innovations strengthen healthcare delivery, challenges remain regarding cost, equitable access, appropriate use, and long-term sustainability across diverse health systems.
