Top 10 Best Medical Innovations For The Coming Year

1. Top 10 Best Medical Innovations For The Coming Year

2. 1. Vaccines to Prevent Public Health Epidemics • Vaccines to prevent public health epidemics such as Ebola and meningococcal B get fast-tracked for approval so patients can receive them earlier.

3. 2. Genomic Directed Clinical Trials • Genetic profiling of patients better matches them to clinical trials, which increases their chance of benefiting from research studies.

4. 3. Gene Editing Using CRISPR • CRISPR is a therapy in which the human genome is altered in an effort to eliminate genetic-based disease.

5. 4. Water Purification Systems for Prevention of Infectious Diseases • A self-sustainable processor turns solid waste and sewer sludge into safe drinking water for hundreds of thousands of people.

6. 5. Cell-Free Fetal DNA Testing • A non-invasive diagnostic test has a tenfold better chance of diagnosing Down’s syndrome in a fetus.

7. 6. Cancer Screening via Protein Biomarker Analysis • A test that detects changes in the structure of certain blood proteins can diagnose many types of cancer with high accuracy.

8. 7. Naturally Controlled Artificial Limbs • Sensors pick up neural codes sent by the brain and send them to computers to be deciphered and used to operate prosthetic limbs.

9. 8. First-ever Treatment For HSDD • A drug restores sexual desire in premenopausal women who have no medical-based explanation for their loss of libido.

10. 9. Friction-less Remote Monitoring • Devices that allow health care providers to monitor patients from afar — such as needle-free glucose monitoring, which uses biosensors on the skin to collect information on glucose levels.

11. 10. Neuro-vascular Stent Retriever • A new device, used alongside standard tPA treatment for stroke, removes clots and results in speedier recovery for patients and a better chance for independence.
