Synthetic Biology: Making the Impossible Possible Biology is becoming programmable …we are now able to re -write the code that powers life. Digital Health: The Era of Patient Empowerment The human body is becoming the biggest data platform … and Bionics companies are capturing this value. Genomics: Towards Precision Medicine Each patient is different and unique in front of a disease → so must be the treatments. Healthcare 3D Printing: The solution to the organ shortage crisis? Today texts and images are printed on a paper by controlling and placing ink or toner on the surface of the paper. In a similar way, 3D printers print… medical devices, drugs and even living organs!
Medical Robots: New Means for Better Medicine With over 16,500 hospitals worldwide medical robots can help reduce costs, while also improving outcomes for patients and operations’ effectiveness. Regenerative Medicine: A bit of Me Some animals have impressive regenerative capabilities. The Axololot is able to regrow limb, tail, eye, jaw, and heart. What about humans? Artificial Organs: The Bionic Man is now a Reality Artificial organs (limbs, ears, eyes, heart, pancreas) are already being used to improve people’s quality of life and some others are under way…
CMS announced this year to speed up Medicare coverage and new technology add-on payments for breakthrough devices granted marketing authorization by FDA.
