Historically, we have known that a pandemic on this scale has been of high probability and severity. Governments and private organisations are looking into ways to mitigate these risks and to build more advanced early detection systems, whilst ensuring resource isn’t stripped away from essential day-to-day medical requirements.
Technology is continuously improving at an accelerated rate (albeit current electronic supply chain issues!), and there are emerging technological tools that may alleviate some of these strains to augment and improve our current systems. Design Engineer & Business Development Consultant, Will Morris has gathered some thoughts and insights into what he believes the trends for healthcare technology are for 2022+, and how the impact of the pandemic has been a catalyst for medical device innovation:
These are just some of our thoughts and insights into what we believe the trends for healthcare technology are for 2022+, and how the impact of the pandemic has been a catalyst for medical device innovation.
