The latest advancement in healthcare technology for heart patients is the leadless pacemaker, which is aimed at eliminating the dangers of implanting pacemaker leads into the heart. Traditional cardiac pacemakers are constructed using a Hypodermis Pulse Generator (in the chest wall) and transvenous pacing leads (in the myocardial tissue). These leads are considered the weakest
Nothing is more important than medical and scientific research. This is especially true of researching infectious diseases that have no cure, such as salmonella, E.coli, Ebola, dengue fever, and many more. These transmittable diseases continue to plague the world, but scientific research is not infallible. What if it’s the research that causes a widespread and
Regardless of where you stand on the hot-button issue of health care, there’s no denying the fact that medical costs are through the roof and decent coverage is perhaps harder than ever to come by.

Biomedical technology, the field that combines engineering with technology to solve medical and/or biological problems, particularly when it comes to the design and use of medical equipment which can treat diseases and diagnose them more quickly, has been growing rapidly of late. With the continual developments in technology and the increase in big data, not
Worldwide the population of people suffering from HIV and over the age of 50 is estimated to be around four million, and the proportion is increasing every day.

While euthanasia for animals is quite acceptable and used to cull diseased, or sometimes even healthy animals for acts of lethal aggression, the debate about whether euthanasia or physician-assisted death for patients with terminal
Internet of Things (IoT) is helping healthcare professionals transition their work space from physical, closely-monitored diagnosing and operating spaces to remotely controllable procedures that operate via the cyberspace. Medical devices and smart sensors are being interlinked through wireless internet run by high-speed processors for expediting medical procedures, keeping patients from harm’s way, and reduce medical
