FIVE NEW INNOVATIONS IN PEDIATRIC HEALTHCARE THAT WILL LEAVE YOU STUNNED. 
                     Five new surprising innovations in  
pediatrics that you should know!
Technology has always played a pivotal part in advancing healthcare services.  
Technology nowadays has now reached a sci-fi level of advancements. Pediatric  
hospitals are readily waiting to adopt these technologies. Here are some of the 
latest  advancements you should be aware of in pediatric care.
Body Temperature Monitor
It is well-known that children won't stay still even when sleeping. Which means it's 
quite  a difficult task to monitor their temperature. Since they are always on the move,
watching them might involve plush toys and a lot of struggle. TempTraq has devised a  
new and innovative solution to end this problem. The new solution is a patch that  
works  like an intelligent device. This device can monitor the child's temperature 
remotely so  caregivers can keep track without disturbing the child during sleep hours. 
This new  technology can significantly relieve hospitals with dedicated pediatric clinics.
The cure for the bowel syndrome
Irritable bowel syndrome is a common disorder affecting both children and adults. 
Katja  Kovacic, M.D. of Children's Wisconsin, developed a revolutionary method to 
treat
irritable bowel disease in adolescents and children. This new method is a
non-pharmacological option in contrast to current medications to treat the disorder, 
with  the added benefit of being a non-invasive procedure that delivers a small current 
of 3.2  volts with alternating frequency to the side of the ear. There have been no 
known side  effects of the procedure. The procedure records a high satisfaction rate in 
providing
long-term relief to adolescents and children.
The new smart pill
With 3d printing revolutionizing tech industries, it also has a new impact on 
healthcare.  Through the help of this tech, a new intelligent pill has been making 
waves. This pill  allows medical professionals to monitor the condition of their patients 
from a distance.  This new method can have a massive impact on pediatrics, as 
fidgety patients can be  challenging for doctors. A children's health hospital in Dallas, 
USA, was the first to use  this groundbreaking technology.
Say no to injections.
Injections and drawing blood from a young infant might be the most recurring 
nightmare  for parents. Parents always tend to make sure that their children don't have 
to sit  through that traumatic experience. This innovation has now become the saving 
grace  from such experiences. A team of biomedical engineers, researchers, and a 
former  patient of Children's Healthcare Atlanta has developed a new smartphone 
application  that can determine the hemoglobin reading by checking the color of the 
fingernail. This  app is marketed under the name Anemocheck mobile. Although it may 
not replace a  doctor's supervision, this can prove vital in monitoring the child's 
hemoglobin levels.
They are rebuilding from the ground up!
Regenerative medicine is making new pathways in lifting children back to life with  
congenital disabilities and other fatal disorders. With potential breakthroughs for 
organ
transplants, the time for artificially printed organs and tailor-fit prosthetic limbs 
created  using 3-D printers is not that far away. Tissue engineering can replace 
implanting  devices. The latest innovations have rapidly advanced due to the 
completion of the  human genome project, mapped a decade ago. The advances in 
stem cell treatments  and nanomedicine technologies can even allow us to predict 
sickness in the child in  advance and create personalized medication for them.
Pediatrics is a field that can significantly benefit from these advances in technology. 
At
 AL Adwani GH, as one of the leading pediatric healthcare services in Taif, Makkah, 
we  try to incorporate the best innovations into our pediatric care.
