 ADVANCED SURGICAL PROCEDURES
• Surgery performed through small incisions
(cuts) and few stitches. During minimally
invasive surgery, one or more small incisions
are made in the body and a laparoscope (a thin
tube-shaped instrument with a light and lens
for viewing) is inserted through an opening to
guide the surgery. To do this, tiny surgical
instruments are inserted through other
openings. This type of surgery can cause less
pain, scarring, and damage to healthy tissue;
the patient may have a faster recovery than
with traditional surgery
ROBOTICS AND PROSTHETICS
• The robotic prosthesis is capable of
performing several movements
simultaneously, wrist and five finger
movements. The fingers can be configured
with up to six different positions to grasp and
hold objects. Although it is more limited than
a real arm, it also offers more possibilities and
autonomy than any other current prosthesis.
So much as to provide amputees with
capabilities that were previously impossible.
CONNECTED AND COGNITIVE DEVICES
• They are portable, wearable, ingestible or
implantable devices that can help monitor
health and fitness information and provide
autonomously self-regulated therapies.
• EXAMPLE: E-tattoos for heart diagnostics.
• Electronic tattoos could provide longer
periods of heart monitoring and increase
patient comfort while offering a wider range
of patient data to doctors.
 DIGITAL THERAPEUTICS
• Digital therapies are software-driven evidence-based therapeutic interventions to
prevent, manage, or treat a medical condition or disorder. For example, it can help
patients with self-management of their symptoms, thereby improving their quality
of life and other clinical endpoints. Digital therapies can be used as a standalone
therapy or in conjunction with more conventional treatments such as drug therapy
or in person, and also with certain hardware or other sensory or mechanical
devices. 
• EXAMPLE: An app powered by AI, patient data, and behavioral science could
help patients adopt and sustain healthy behaviors through gamification. Currently,
treatments are being developed for the prevention and management of a wide
variety of diseases and conditions, such as type II diabetes, congestive heart
failure, Alzheimer's disease, anxiety, depression, and several others
 ELECTROCEUTICALS
They are therapeutic devices that have in
common the property of employing a stimulation
through electrical and potential impulses to the
neural circuit of the organs to modify the
function of the body (these circuits are composed
of interconnected cells and their control is
transmitted by patterns of action potential, altered
for treatment)
All organs are regulated through circuits made up
of neurons that communicate through such
impulses.
In most cases, the tissue to which these devices
are directed are nerve fibers or muscle cells.
pacemakers and defibrillators were the first
devices of their kind, followed by implants in the
spine, ears and eyes.
 TECH-ENABLED CARE DELIVERY

• Technology that allows to improve the

attention to the providers and patients
through access to Big Data and advanced
analytics capabilities.
• This technology is approached from both
a clinical-managerial and ethical
perspective; as well as the pedagogical
and professional treatment
