The Cleveland Clinic usually announces its top ten developments for innovation in the next year. This announcement gives a good indication of the way that healthcare is innovating and advancing in leaps and bounds. This year is no exception.
The ten innovations do include a public health innovation and surgical interventions for chronic diseases; however, the greater emphasis is upon improvement through devices and technology. To give a flavour: better scanning techniques for bacteria and skin cancer; incremental improvements in the treatment of donor lungs and cataracts. And all of these developments use technology for better outcomes with less damage.
This has to be a plus for cheromania: relentless good news is here, despite the downturn.
