Abstract

Technology drives the healthcare sector these days. Different types of technology used in healthcare keep changing at a fast pace from cutting edge to ubiquity. Some of these technologies will change the practice of healthcare and transform our whole approach to illness and health. Although emerging healthcare technologies will not fix all healthcare problems, they can improve the practice, decision-making, and management of healthcare.
