Modern technologies that support medicine
What are the latest achievements in the field of medical technologies and how innovative solutions improve the quality of life of patients – all this could be learned by the participants of the meeting at the Faculty of Biomedical Engineering of the Silesian University of Technology. The event took place as part of the Industry 4.0 Week and European City of Science Katowice 2024 celebrations.
The meeting began with a lecture entitled “Modern technologies supporting medicine,” delivered by MD.Ph.D. Marcin Świerad from the Silesian Centre for Heart Diseases.
Both medicine and technology are close to each other and both of these fields have been developing very dynamically for many, many years After all, we remember the first heart transplants in Poland, carried out in the eighties in the Silesian Centre for Heart Diseases. They would not be possible without proper technology,” said MD Ph.D. Marcin Świerad.
“Today, these technologies are extremely advanced, and new possibilities are constantly emerging that we have not even dreamed of,” adds the doctor.
After the lecture, the participants of the event visited the modern laboratories of the European HealthTech Innovation Centre (EHTIC).
- We want to present places where solutions used in clinical practice are created and thanks to which patients can be helped - said Dr Hab. Eng. Marcin Kaczmarek, Prof. SUT.
“Today, the work of a doctor would not be possible without technical support. It is enough to look at the diagnostic methods. Using new technologies, new devices, it is possible to better examine the patient, see more details and thus propose better diagnostics and treatment.
The event entitled “Modern technologies supporting medicine” was held as part of the celebration of Industry 4.0 Week at the Silesian University of Technology.
