Health technology is defined by the World Health Organisation as the “application of organised knowledge and skills in the form of devices, medicines, vaccines, procedures, and systems developed to solve a health problem and improve quality of lives”.
Medical technology has changed the Global life expectancy index. Medical Technology can be defined as the technologies that diagnose, treat and/or improve a person’s health and well-being, encompassing both low — and high-risk medical devices — products that can be as varied from tongue depressors, surgical gloves and medical thermometers to insulin pumps, pacemakers and in vitro diagnostics — and used to save the lives of patients everywhere across Asia Pacific every day.
