Medical technology is a vast field where advancements in technology play a crucial part in sustaining the health of patients. Fields such as Artificial Intelligence, 3-D printing, robotics, and medical imaging have contributed to improving the health of many people. In the medical field, the dependence of medical technology has allowed doctors to improve their practice by making more accurate diagnoses, which reduces mortality rate. Healthcare practitioners, as a result of these innovations, can continue to expand the medical field. Technological innovations enhance quality of care of patients and sustain universal healthcare. During the 1800s, medical practitioners and scientists created instruments to examine and understand how the body works. These instruments include the thermometer, microscope, and stethoscope. These simple medical tools allowed doctors

These systems are, the da Vinci Surgical System, ZEUS Robotic Surgical System and AESOP Robotic System. In 2000, the US Food and Drug Administration permitted the da Vinci Surgical System as a tool in the operating room. This is the first robotic technology accepted in the United States of America. Although, the da Vinci Robotic Surgical System was only just recently accepted as a useable tool for surgery in the US, the da Vinci System performed the first successful robotically-assisted surgery in 1997 after assisting in a heart bypass surgery in Germany. Since then, the da Vinci Surgical System has performed over 20,000 operations in the US. The use of robotic technology in medicine would have an enormous impact in the medical field. There would be less infection, blood loss, and the use of anesthesia. Also, robotic surgery makes smaller incisions, which can reduce a patient’s pain. Furthermore, robotic surgery could also decrease operation
