Medical Technology History Katrina Christiansen Allie Wilke • • • • 1957 – William Grey Walter invents the brain EEG topography • • 1968 - Powered Prothesis - Samuel Alderson Is the recording of electrical activity along the scalp 1958 - Pacemaker - Rune Elmqvist Medical device that uses electrical impulses, to regulate the beating of the heart An artificial device extension that replaces a missing body parts, using mechanical devices with human muscle, skeleton, and nervous systems to assist or enhance motor control 1900s • 1903 - Willem Einthoven discovers electrocardiography (ECG/EKG) • Interpretation of the electrical activity of the heart over a period of time, as detected by electrodes attached to the outer surface of the skin and recorded by a device external to the body • 1943 – Willem J. Kolff build the first dialysis machine • Process for removing waste and excess water from the blood, and is used primarily to provide an artificial replacement for lost kidney function in people with renal failure • 1946 - Chemotherapy - Alfred G. Gilman and Louis S. Goodman • The treatment of cancer with one or more cytotoxic antineoplastic drugs • • 1947 - Defibrillator - Claude Beck Delivering a therapeutic dose of electrical energy to the affected heart • • 1965 – First commercial ultrasound • 1971 - Magnetic Resonance Imaging - Raymond Vahan Damadian • Medical imaging technique used in radiology to visualize internal structures of the body in detail Cyclic sound pressure wave with a frequency greater than the upper limit of the human hearing range • 1971 - Computed Tomography (CT or CAT Scan) Godfrey Hounsfield • Medical imaging procedure that utilizes computer-processed X-rays to produce tomographic images or 'slices' of specific areas of the body • • 1973 - Laser Eye Surgery (LASIK) - Mani Lal Bhaumik A laser to reshape the eye's cornea in order to improve visual acuity • • 1985 - Surgical Robot - Dr Yik San Kwoh • • 1985 - Capsule Endoscopy - Tarun Mullick Use robotic systems to aid in surgical procedures, open surgery easier Record images of the digestive tract for use in medicine. The capsule is the size and shape of a pill and contains a tiny camera 2000s • • 2001 - Telesurgery - Jacques Marescaux • • 2007 - Visual prosthetic (bionic eye) Argus II Remote surgery combines elements of robotics, cutting edge communication technology such as high-speed data connections and elements of management information systems An experimental visual device intended to restore functional vision in those suffering from partial or total blindness • • • • Future Scientists from Northwestern University, in Chicago are working on having feeling in prostheses iSpO2 is a consumer pulse oximeter that connects to most Apple i-devices and comes with a sensor that you slip on to your ring finger for immediate oxygen, pulse rate, and perfusion index readings. Dr. Dennis Filips was inspired -- by a simple hair clip -to design a medical clamp that can stop traumatic wound bleeding in a matter of seconds Iphone app that can take your temperature Sources • http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/07/video-da-vinci-si-robotic-system-wants-to-be-your-surgeon/ • http://brainbender.blogspot.com/2007/07/custom-lasix.html • http://aletheastory.wordpress.com/2010/10/09/ct-scans-suck/ • http://dammnedajay.wordpress.com/ • http://lauramenenberg.wordpress.com/tag/ultrasound/ • http://lauramenenberg.wordpress.com/tag/ultrasound/ • http://www.guardian.co.uk/society/2011/dec/06/cancer-patients-welfare-work-tests • http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_medicine_and_medical_technology • http://news.cnet.com/8300-27083_3-247-1.html
