Ever wonder what medical technology looked like back then and how it has changed? Well let me tell you.

Our technology has changed in the last 60 years drastically. We have gained more medical professionals in the past years instead of having a handful that is mainly family and read from the books to tell you what is going on. Almost everything about medicine and the medical industry has changed from health to science in just 60 years.

According to Best nurses.com they state that there  doing more research in labs finding more medications for shots for preventing diesease. With this being done all of the prices are going up back then it was $134 dollars for medical healthcare and now there are  more taxes it is $ 8,953.  There are some pros and cons of it being more expensive. The pros are that your hospital stays are shorter, you can get test results back soon.

Technology today 

Today's technology has become more advance even though the prices are gone up due to the upgrade in the medical field from science to health.  Today's technology is much faster getting test results back then it was 60 years ago. 

We have now got more advance in surgery.  According  to Proclinical com they state 10 new medical technology.  They have now gotten smart inhalers that can connect to you phone, robotic surgery, wireless brain sensors, 3-D printing, artificial organs, health wearables, precision medicine, virtual reality, Telehealth, and CRISPR gene anaylis.

Today they can treat more diesease because of getting new technology to dianose more symptoms to get people on medicine to help with pain or depression ect. 




Technology back then 1950's

Back then technology was less advance then it is now. In the 1950's you have to run blood test or anything through multiple  test before getting an answer.

It was more complicated even though some people may think today's technology has more steps to solve  an answer then back then.
