In the field of healthcare in the 21st century, data is king, so the large computers in the hospital procurement department are now considered to have a considerable degree of influence in the medical field, while group purchasing organizaTIons (GPOs) are The rise of the role of health care stores—the organization that procures a large number of medical device products and then sells them to members of the organization at a discounted price.
But the health care sector needs more than just selling medical equipment at a discounted price, but also a way to measure its benefits; this requires smarter medical equipment. To this end, more and more devices that support sensor functions are available, providing diagnostic indicators and assisting systemic physicians with treatments; for example, surgical tools can benefit from such techniques.
In the past, surgeons relied heavily on training and experience during surgery. Whether they had the correct force to release the surgical instruments, mainly based on experience; now, the force sensor can be integrated with the surgical clamp to assist the surgeon. There is a concept of the force they exert.
Lisa Jones, FlexiForce marketing specialist for Tekscan's strength measurement system, which specializes in stress/force sensing technology, said: "Sensors can provide surgeons with feedback during surgery to help them avoid miscutting vital organs or veins." Minimally invasive surgery It will make it easier for surgeons to encounter such problems because the surgical wounds are very small and can also cause the surgeon to lose the ability to respond with touch.
British research firm Cambridge Research & Development has developed a tactile feedback technology designed for minimally invasive surgery so that surgeons can get accurate feedback and experience the surgery they are doing.
A similar situation can be encountered when physiotherapists perform physical therapy procedures such as massage; one study found that different physiotherapists can achieve a difference of 500% in the course of treatment. This difference is not only difficult to assess the comparative benefit of the treatment, but also increases the risk of the patient being injured while receiving the treatment.
Tekscan's FlexiForce sensor makes medical equipment smarter
To solve the above problems, Tekscan pointed out that Australian researchers used the company's FlexiForce sensor to create a physiotherapy training device that would assist physiotherapists in applying precise force that requires manual evaluation. Jones said: "We also see that the force sensor is applied to the prosthetic to provide a touch for the artificial finger."
Power Sensing technology is also used in life aids to assist caregivers in remotely monitoring patient health; in addition, this technology can be integrated into wearable drug injection or insulin syringe pumps for early detection of device blockage or The situation of the fault. When a serious problem is discovered, the sensor can help trigger an alarm to protect the patient's life.
