medical technology

"Virtual reality uses powerful computers and headsets to transport users to virtual worlds. Today's scientists are using virtual reality to train surgeons, help with patient therapies, and more. 'Virtual Reality in Health Care' covers the past, present, and future of this technology"--Provided by publisher.

"Robots are machines designed to do particular jobs. Today's scientists are finding many ways to use robots in health care. This includes the use of robots to make surgeries faster and safer. 'Robotics in Health Care' covers the past, present, and future of this technology"--Provided by publisher.

"Modern health care must stay on the cutting edge if the field expects to keep up with ever more difficult demands, as new health conditions crop up and populations becomes older. The newest diagnostic machines, network infrastructures, and surgical tools are examined in this work, which also imparts crucial guidance to future health care workers who will have to acclimate to and master them. This instructive title explains how tech augments care, how technologies have changed health care over time, and looks forward to coming innovations"--Provided by publisher.

This book gives an overview of healthcare jobs that depend on computer science skills.

"This title takes a look at some of the ... medicine and technology being created (like a COVID-19 vaccine and antibody therapy) and being utilized (like drones and ventilators) to help in the fight against COVID-19. This book shows ... things that scientist and engineers can accomplish when faced with a problem as big as a pandemic"--Amazon.

"With simple text and . . . infographics, teaches beginning readers about medical robots and their role in our world"--Provided by publisher.

Massive breakthroughs are changing the face of medicine and healthcare. In addition to the benefits of super-smart computers that can learn, medical researchers and doctors are beginning to reap the rewards of robots that perform surgeries. There have also been advances in nanotechnology-in which doctors heal by injecting microscopic particles into the body; using 3D printing to make replacements for failing bladders and other organs; and telemedicine, in which physicians can monitor and operate on patients using remote apps.

Already widely used to deliver blood products in rural Africa, medical drones are on the verge of vastly improving health care in the United States. Medical Drones shows how unmanned aerial vehicles are being used to bring medical samples to laboratories, transport organs for transplants, and even serve as flying ambulances to save the lives of sick and injured patients.

Simple text and photographs introduce learning readers to STEM--science-technology, engineering, and math--topics using the COVID-19 pandemic. Investigates what COVID-19 is as a virus, its symptoms and dangers, and how doctors and scientists test for it and are looking for ways to treat it. Includes a glossary.

"Using innovative designs and technology such as 3-D printing, humans are helping animals in need. Discover the amazing true stories of five animals that have survived thanks to their prosthetic body parts"--Provided by publisher.
