It is fascinating to think about what 2015 has in store for medical science and technology. Which are the up-and-coming technologies and which will have the biggest impact on health care in 2015?
There is actually a annual conference sponsored by the Cleveland Clinic that focuses on identifying and selecting nominated medical innovations that meet a strict set of criteria. Experts from the Cleveland Clinic team perform extensive research on each nomination and then present a final list to two panels of leading Cleveland Clinic physicians. These physicians then vote to decide the Top 10 Medical Innovations for the year.
Here’s what they selected for 2015:
4. New way to lower cholesterol
5. Cancer drug that doesn’t harm healthy tissue
6. Immune booster for cancer patients
8. New medications for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis
9. Single-dose radiation therapy for breast cancer
