They can analyze medical images (X-rays, CT scans, etc.) to identify patterns that the human eye might miss. They help predict the evolution of diseases calculated on large volumes of medical data.
IA
It allows the creation of prostheses and artificial organs tailored to patients, such as dental implants, limb prostheses or even parts of the heart.
3D printing
Allows doctors to diagnose and treat patients remotely, which has grown exponentially during the pandemic.
Telemedicine
Tiny robots that could be injected into the body to perform tasks such as delivering drugs directly to diseased cells or eliminating cancer cells.
Nanobots
Stem Cell-Based Therapies
Using stem cells to regenerate or repair damaged tissues in the body is an emerging technology with great potential in the treatment of diseases such as multiple sclerosis, type 1 diabetes and spinal injuries.
Smart watches and other wearable devices that monitor health parameters such as heart rate, physical activity and oxygen levels in real time.
IoT devices
Printing of human tissue, with the future goal of creating functional organs.
Bioprinting
Centralized and digitalized database that allows remote access and sharing of medical information between health professionals and patients. It facilitates interoperability between hospitals, clinics and physicians, and is crucial for remote care, care coordination, and ongoing patient monitoring.
EME o EHR (Electronic Health Record)
Use of nanoparticles to improve precision in drug administration, minimizing side effects.
Nanomedicine
Digital Twins in Medicine
Creation of an exact digital replica of a patient, which is used to simulate and predict how their body will respond to specific treatments, facilitating the personalization and optimization of interventions.
Big data: Analysis of large volumes of clinical data
It allows us to find patterns in the behavior of diseases and personalize treatments more efficiently.
Surgeons can practice procedures in virtual reality environments before performing them on real patients.
Surgical simulations
Essential to protect both patients and healthcare systems in an increasingly digital world. This involves not only the protection of sensitive data, but also the security of connected devices and medical systems, ensuring the continuity of medical care without interruption or risk.
Cybersecurity
Surgical robots such as the Da Vinci allow operations to be performed with millimetric precision, reducing the risk of complications and recovery time.
Robot-assisted surgery
Next Generation Sequencing (NGS)
Advanced technology for rapid, large-scale DNA sequencing, enabling detailed analysis of the human genome. It is used in genetic diagnostics and in the development of personalized treatments.
Predictive analytics: Personalized preventive medicine
With data from medical history, disease risks can be predicted and tailored preventive treatments can be offered.
It helps doctors overlay relevant information, such as 3D images of organs, during an operation.
AR in the operating room
Machine Learning
Branch of artificial intelligence that uses data to train algorithms that can make predictions or clinical decisions without human intervention. It is used in areas such as clinical outcome prediction or personalized medicine.
Branch of medicine that studies how genes affect the body's response to drugs, allowing for personalized prescription of medications to improve their effectiveness and reduce side effects.
Pharmacogenomics
Liquid-Based Diagnosis (Liquid Biopsy)
A noninvasive technique that uses samples of bodily fluids (such as blood or saliva) to detect tumor cells or genetic mutations without the need for a traditional biopsy.
Biofeedback
Technology that uses sensors to measure bodily functions (such as heart rate or brain activity) and provides visual or auditory feedback to the patient, helping to improve self-regulation and the treatment of conditions such as stress or chronic pain.
Medical software or virtual clinical case simulators
Allows students to simulate clinical diagnoses or the treatment of virtual medical cases. These programs pose scenarios where students must perform anamnesis, diagnoses and prescribe treatments.
Blockchain
Protects and authenticates records, ensuring the privacy and integrity of the information.
CRISPR-Cas9 (Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats)
It allows DNA to be modified in a precise manner. It has the potential to cure genetic diseases such as cystic fibrosis, or even certain types of cancer.
Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCI)
Devices that allow direct communication between the human brain and a computer. They are being investigated to help paralyzed patients control external devices, such as wheelchairs or robotic prostheses.
