Iván Ernesto Moreno Plaza: Technology and Medicine Together at MIGLOBAL

MIGLOBAL

Joints such as the hips, knees, wrists and ankles are some of the main moving parts of the human body. They receive a lot of pressure and stress, and are exposed to a number of problems that can cause serious consequences. Among these problems and conditions that can affect the joints worse, we can find the osteoarthritis, a degenerative disease that attacks the cartilage and causes severe pain in the patient.

Medicine and technology

Medicine and technology form an increasingly narrower link when helping the patients. Thanks to this link, elements that seem science fiction or only related to the world of telecommunications and certain specific branches of science such as robotics, high definition images or virtual reality are today part of everyday life of health professionals worldwide who use these tools to deal with challenges effectively, safely and rapidly.

Osteoarthritis as well as the prostate and kidney cancers are the conditions in which these new robotic technologies are applied in a better way, since with the use of robotic implements the size of the incisions to perform the procedures necessary to treat them decreases. Because of these new technologies, the bleeding, pain and the affected time spent in the hospital become smaller.

Robotics in Medicine

MIGLOBAL has produced advances in the care of this problem, developing the method known as CIAHRS, a course with Virtual Simulation for training of specialists in such interventions through virtual simulations and robotic equipment.

The company also has gathered efforts for years to train professionals in these areas in order to use these high technology tools as part of its bid to create effective responses to the world of health throughout the continent.
