Trends medica in Dusseldorf

Future is digital, even within the medical field. This is the trend that stood out during the last, successful edition of Medica (Düsseldorf, November 16-19), the international fair dedicated to medicine. The increasing digitalisation of information technology will not involve operating rooms or hospital’s beds only: this innovation will imply a gradual expansion and deepening in the use of digital and ultrasonic devices that, thanks to their miniaturization, will guarantee the systematic collection of data related to the health of patients, in order to develop more precise diagnosis and better therapies, even in the case of telemedical consultation at a distance.
From fitness trackers to intelligent glasses and patches, from wearable devices to special health apps specifically designed for smartphones and tablets, that allow us to recognize the early signs of an heart attack, from the instruments conceived to measure our emotions to those for the analysis of sleep activities, aimed at an optimal management of stress levels, technology helps us to live better and to take care of ourselves in a more and more simple way, even into our homes and not only at our doctor’s.
