Medicine has thousands of years of history, but two key words stand out in its essence: innovation and adaptation. The commitment to design and technology of companies like NEXOR Medical helps to find new solutions to meet the great challenges that the sector faces every day.
Passion and science are two tools that go hand in hand to analyze data, predict future trends and help medical professionals to save lives.
On this path to the future, certain trends have been emerging for some time now as major axes:
Artificial intelligence
AI will be a key driver of healthcare innovation and industry disruption in 2022. Digital and virtual tools will help deliver better patient care.
Healthcare technology is expected to focus on artificial intelligence (AI) and virtual care by 2022, according to GlobalData’s latest report “Tech, Media & Telecoms Predictions 2022-Thematic Research”.
AI companies are set to increase their turnover in the healthcare segment, with a predicted increase from $1.6bn in 2019 to $5.7bn in 2025. However, regulation around the use of AI in healthcare technology, particularly for medical devices, is still developing.
Finding new drugs in less time, improved remote monitoring tools, greater efficiency in the supply chain or improvements in clinical trials are some of the tangible benefits of AI applied to the medical field.
Virtual treatments
Virtual tools will help improve patient care.
The development of technologies such as 5G, augmented reality (AR), cybersecurity, autonomous vehicles and cloud computing will enable healthcare providers to fully embrace the transition to digitised services.
Opportunities exist for digital and virtual tools to help in many healthcare services, such as mental health treatments, chronic pain management, stroke rehabilitation, opioid addiction therapy and even in the development of autonomous and connected ambulances.
Sustainability
We are facing an extreme scenario. Some of the effects of climate change are already irreversible. And our future survival depends on how quickly we take action.
The need for sustainable manufacturing practices is more pressing than ever and medical devices are no exception.
As suppliers of medical products and services we also have a responsibility to consider our environmental impact and reduce our carbon footprint to combat major global environmental issues.
At NEXOR Medical we are committed to the future. Not only to the medical professionals who use our technology every day, but also to the patients who ultimately benefit from it. We are committed to innovation so that medical professionals can have the best possible tools to carry out their work.
