The development of the biomedical field

Researchers at the University of Texas, Austin, USA, study ideas, technologies, and policies to make the world richer. In the third part of the questionnaire on the topic " Big question, " Professor Christine E. Schmidt answered the question: " What can you do for the richer world?"

>>> The development of materials

I believe that it will be difficult for us to imagine advances in the provision of biomedical and health care within the next 10 to 25 years. Medicine - Biology is one of the fastest growing technology industries and biomedical techniques described as one of the " fastest growing careers ."

As my prediction, part of this development will be the clinical applications of regenerative medicine, in which biomaterials and cell-based treatments are used when repairing clinical tissue and to treat the disease. We will also enhance the clinical applications of adult stem cells, for example mesenchymal stem cells can be obtained from the patient's own blood, bone marrow . or from donors.

By applying cells and biological materials in an organized biomedical approach, I found: A parallel development with less technological advancement and this will have a large impact. more globally. In other words, scientists and engineers are pushing for the most advanced technology development: stem cells, nanoparticles, and " smart " materials, a renaissance of simple methods and Satisfactory technology is more and more compact than improving clinical treatments.

I also believe that new technology will bring medical knowledge and health care to every patient's home. Collaboration of communication technology with healthcare technology allows health professionals to discuss ideas with health care workers worldwide, while providing medical advice and treatment at Low cost to faraway places in the world. There has been an application in this direction: Diagnostic techniques through image transfer using standard smartphones and remote controls, computers - support surgery, .

Organize a group of kindergartners to participate in scientific discoveries at Schmidt's lab, which is part of the program to help them access scientific research.

Finally, I found that the better access to the health care and treatment sector requires a combination of: biomedical engineering, nutrition, environmental engineering, and rehabilitation techniques; These fields do not overlap at any level. This combination will improve patient treatment results as well as reduce treatment costs.

In order to maintain and seek the advancement of science and technology, the urgent issue is that the education system should continue to train students with extensive knowledge. We should recognize that, giving students access to biomedical science and technology is an increasing demand, both in bachelor's and doctoral degrees. In addition, educating young students to access science is essential. Validating science curriculum in kindergarten is at hand, and students at this age are very curious. This is a necessary task to attract future talents, inspire outstanding students to continue pursuing formal training in the field of scientific and technological research.
