A fascinating medical trial has carried out in USA. According to international science journals this is the most advanced clinical trial which has carried out recently. Fortunately the medical devices which have tested are successful. While reading the new article I felt the about the upcoming revolution in modern medicine.
The experiment and trial was associated with implantable diagnostic and drug releasing devises. The implantable diagnostic and drug releasing devices are already in the market. So what is the specialty? The recently tested devices are using advanced silicon electronic technologies. Majority of these devices are smaller than a sand particle.
Once u you ingested the device it will supply all the necessary details to a specialized hospitals and doctors far away from you. Advantages of the tested technology are breathtaking. I would like to give an example to describe the technology. If a micro diagnostic device is swallowed by a patient acquired details will be automatically sent to computer systems which are located in the hospitals and regional clinics. It’s very easy to understand the effectiveness about the procedures and the technology.
Micro devices which release drugs in sustained and controlled manner are the other method. This also has tested in the above clinical trial. Drug dose can be controlled by external electronic transmitters.
Think about the outcome if the technologies are combined. While monitoring the patient’s condition can carry the treatment procedures productively. As the devices are much smaller the harmful side effects are less. Patient’s comfort with the devices assured.
Think about a devices which is much intelligent than the current devices. As an example let’s take a patient with Angina. A systemic monitoring device which has the capability to monitor patient heart rate, blood pressure peripheral resistance, cardiac contractility, and coronary blood supply is implanted in a patient. The device has communications with an external new generation computer system which has data about patient’s previous medical history and day to day monitored details. This system always inspected by specialized physicians. There is endovascular implanted drug releasing device. Drug releasing device can control and release drugs according to external signals from the intelligent computer system. Think about a heart attack! The monitoring devise will send all the details to the external computer system. With in very short time the computer system will interpret the data and send necessary details to the drug releasing device.
The method is much useful to patients who are not in the Pill in The Pocket method. Also this would be much helpful to patients who are paralyzed and old. They can’t take the Anti Angina medications quickly. I think this kind of device may keep the patient alive till the arrival of emergency medical personals.
Modern medicine is turning in to a new direction which would be much advance than the current clinical medicine. This would be good news for all of us. We all get ill. Healthy life is the true happiness and the profit. I wish this medical advancement will be available to patient's use soon.
