Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue is a continuation of our previous Special Issue "Emerging Medical Devices and Technologies".
Clinicians are constantly at the mercy of the technology at their disposal. Technology with superior design and function can augment clinicians’ ability to provide the best possible care to their patients, while poorly designed technology only hinders their work. Every year, several new devices are released and promoted to care teams throughout the world, but little is actually known about device performance and their effects on clinical outcomes. Recent advancements in MedTech products and the development of novel technologies to support neonatal, pediatric and adult patients within intensive and acute care settings have been integral in improving outcomes. There is a dire need to develop novel breakthrough innovations to improve medical devices, hospital practices as well as the entire healthcare industry. Given the myriad of needs in healthcare and the increasing capability of engineers and designers, the pertinent question is not how to solve the problems but to determine what clinical problems exist and how new solutions could impact the immediate needs of patients in both well and poorly resourced clinical settings.
This Special Issue of Applied Sciences aims to focus on the recent advancements in medical devices from a wide array of perspectives.
