INTRODUCTION
Medical Technology is indispensable to healthcare delivery. It is an integral part of the entire healthcare lifecycle, from the stage of screening/diagnosing to treatment/care; from restoring patients to normal lives and monitoring their health post treatment. For decades now, with advancement of technology and increasing sophistication of medical devices, the industry has played a major role in bringing down the incidence of disease and improving the overall healthcare system across the world. Globally, the healthcare sector is witnessing rapid advancements in how patients are diagnosed and treated and the Medical Technology industry is at the core of this transformation. The industry is well positioned to revolutionize healthcare in India as well. Using a mix of nascent as well as advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence, remote sensing, 3D printing, e-ICUs, virtual reality, telemedicine and others has the potential to help India’s healthcare industry overcome many of the challenges faced by it- be it accessibility, affordability or quality.1
Health care technology is capable of providing cost -effective solutions at a time when the demands on health and social care services continue to increase. 2 At the moment, the pace of change in the technology is increasing at an exponential rate. Rapid technological change will require retraining and rethinking the roles of clinicians. Both existing and future generations of clinicians will need training in digital literacy to be able to make use of the technology in providing optimum care.3The future of healthcare lies in working hand-in-hand with technology and healthcare workers have to embrace emerging healthcare technologies in order to stay relevant in the coming years4
Taking all this into consideration, Public Health Foundation of India (PHFI), Association of Health Providers India (AHPI), Indian Institute of Science (IISc), Bangalore and Indian Institute of Space Science and Technology (IIST) have collaborated for a Certificate course on Healthcare Technology which will combine theoretical and practical aspects of healthcare technology at every level of healthcare delivery and personnel involved as per requirement.
