Technology has changed the way healthcare services are
provided
in this day and age. New tools and ways of doing things have
been introduced enabling doctors to be more efficient when
doing surgery. Doctors do not even need to be in the same
locations as the patient to do surgery or prescribe medication.
Knowledge from all over the world can be accessed with the
touch of a button this has improved the provision of medical
services tremendously. This has benefited many people all over
the world and made healthcare delivery easier (Lamba, 2011).
Some of the equipment that has been brought about by
technology advancement include; 3D echocardiogram and CT
reconstruction. These two have made surgery more efficient by
improving imaging capabilities which enable surgeons to

2. operate without hindrances on the human body (Sabik, MD,
2014). Healthcare services have improved too, by the
introduction of robotic surgery and teleconferencing. The latter
has enabled doctors to provide knowledge and expertise far and
wide irrespective of their physical location. They can monitor,
track and communicate with their patients to help them keeping
tabs on their ailments (Raza, et al., 2014). Robotic surgery
helps doctors conduct surgery remotely with the use of a
machine that can multitask and overcome some of the
limitations a human doctor may have. This improves the
likelihood of an operation to be successful which benefits both
the physician and the patient.
Use of these new technologies is compulsory as not only have
they made surgery more efficient but also tackled some
challenges that were considered impossible in the past such as
organ replacement and valve replacement in the aorta (Lamba,
2011). In addition to this technology has changed the way
surgery is done by finding more effective and efficient ways of
carrying out complicated procedures through extensive research.
It is not a surprise that there are now less invasive operation
procedures that enable doctors work and stitch you up in no
time leaving no scars.

Modern Technology

Systems and their Measurements. Progress in Medical Radiation
Physics, 181-248. Kunio Doi in his publication speaks about the
modern technology in medical imaging. He explains that the
technology includes image production, image processing, image
recording, CAD (computer aided diagnosis) and transmission of
image encompassed in a communication system and picture
archiving. The Journal explains further the technology
revolution of imaging since the 1950s. This publication can be
used by students, medical practitioners, and IT personnel when
performing their research on Modern technology based on
medical imaging.”

author of the book gives information on modern technology as
an advancement of a neutral tool. Being a civilization
framework, modern technology has shaped our lives and values.
He disputes that its roots of labor degradation, environment, and
education do not lie in technology but cultural values. Feenberg
also denies the obvious solutions like spiritual renewal,
economic simplicity and gives a convincing argument for
advanced technological choices in democratic participation.
This book enables readers to understand the new technology in
the medical industry and patient’s behaviors.”

Jeremiah Hurley, the book author, discusses the normative
analysis performed in health sectors. He broadly explains the
new technology impact on the health care operation and
insurance markets. The new technology should reduce market
failure and enhance equity and efficiency of financing,
organization, funding and health care delivery. Hurley analyses
the modern technology health care nature as a commodity of an
economy characterized by insurance markets and health care
operations. He adds that the modern technology has enhanced

explains how the new technology is enhancing the field of
healthcare and medical. Hendricks Drew in his article talks
about the software programs which assist in the diagnostic
process of its tracking procedures. The technology has improved
the patients past treatment records for easy diagnosis. He adds
that the new technology still needs the qualified physician to
perform quality healthcare. This publication is best dedicated to

importance of modern technology regarding nanotechnology.
Mali in his journal explains that nanotechnology has aided in
patient’s quick recovery, reduction of trauma and fear during
surgery. The technology has also reduced the economic costs
and the time wastage of treatment. He further reveals that the
technology which is currently used for healing will also enhance
human abilities (transcendence use). The journal is suitable for
surgeons, patients, and students during research as it will enable
them to plan treatment more precisely leading to the superior
treatment execution plan.”
