Twelve medical technologies from Massachusetts General, Brigham and Women’s Hospital, Harvard Medical School and others are emerging to help make an impact on health care.
The new technologies, called the Disruptive Dozen, are expected to "revolutionize health care" this year, Harvard experts told MDLinx.
According to MDLinx, the Disruptive Dozen are reducing the burden of prior authorizations, creating video games for stroke patients, making cells larger to see them better and introducing the first disease-modifying therapy for Alzheimer patients. The Disruptive Dozen is also helping keep transplant organs fresher for longer, create more sickle cell disease therapeutic options and bring new tools to help treat aging ears and eyes.
Lastly, it will reduce health disparities through technology and maps and use artificial intelligence to fight COVID-19.
These new technologies will help "disrupt" the health care system, according to MDLinx. Within the next 18 months, impacts from these technologies should been seen, especially against the coronavirus.
