Those who work in architectural engineer jobs will understand more than anyone how important advanced imaging can be. Implants that are made using 3D imaging really are making progress and they can even be used to fix a huge range of problems that can occur in both the bones and the joints. This all happens before it becomes
too serious.
The Medical Device Prototype unit has been established at a college in London and they have currently got well over £1.7m in funding. This comes from the EPSRC and it is going to use additive manufacturing and even advanced imaging techniques to try and fund the EPRSC. They are going to print parts that have detail on a nanoscale level in an attempt to try and find out how they are able to react with the human body. The human musculoskeletal system has not caught up with improvements in terms of the life expectancy and this has been the case for well over 150 years. This ultimately means that bone and even joint disorders really are one of the biggest expenses that are coming from the NHS.
The current generation of orthopaedic implants really are great but they are only suitable for treating the end stage of the disease. On top of this, they are very invasive as they ultimately mean that you have to take out the entire joint. Surgeons need something that they can use to treat younger patients and this is designed to stop the disease from progressing in the first place. It is also helpful as it stops the issue from getting worse to the point where it needs to be a full-scale operation as well and if this is able to progress to where it can be used in an operational standpoint then this is good news for the healthcare jobs industry.
