The role of medical technology is of critical importance in societies facing budget constraints, the challenges of ageing populations, the rise in chronic diseases and shortage of qualified healthcare professionals.
Over time, products and services have steadily increased the quality of healthcare delivery, while ensuring the highest safety for patients.
IMAGING
Medical imaging helps keep people healthy through smart prevention and screening. Imaging technologies, such as X-ray, ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), play a vital role in the detection of serious illnesses or injuries. These technologies help doctors make accurate diagnoses and enable conditions such as cancer to be caught early and therefore treated more successfully.
RADIOTHERAPY
Radiotherapy is an essential component of comprehensive cancer care. More than half of all patients with cancer will require radiation as all or part of their treatment, often in combination with surgery and chemotherapy. The most common type of radiation used is x-rays, also known as photons. Radiation can be produced in a variety of ways and is delivered to patients using a radiotherapy machine. It is used to used to treat cancer, prevent recurrence, and help manage pain and other symptoms.
DIGITAL HEALTH
Digital Health solutions are increasingly used by healthcare professionals to store or exchange information and to remotely monitor patients or deliver healthcare services. They reduce health inequalities by giving access to healthcare to people located in remote places, cut the risk of medical errors and allow safer and faster transfer of important patient data.
