Human creation of technology has evolved throughout the years. Everyday, there are many researchers and scientists around the world who discover a new type of technology, that would help us make our daily life better. Canada
One of the many inventions made recently was the SoftScan, made by a company called ART (Advanced Research Technologies). The SoftScan capture breast imagery, such as mammography. It also has ‘blind spots’ that would limit its capabilities. It uses infrared light to obtain many 3D images in place of the mammography. Using the SoftScan is painless and captures the biochemistry, physiology and the patient’s response to therapy as the anatomy changes. Through time, the SoftScan is being used more than mammography, which is still used today. SoftScan is able to provide many researcher with information. With the SoftScan, it can lead to shorter treatments, better results, and lower costs for the health care system. Health care providers, professionals, and patients can benefit with the SoftScan in place.

Another invention that has been made is the swallowable sensor pills. It is a wireless device for measuring the health of the digestive system. These sensor pills is able to gather data to a receiver as it passes through the digestive tract, which is returned to a doctor at a later time. This can help out those with a digestive system problem and aid those who diagnose with gastroparesis. A disadvantage to this pill is that each capsule costs from $500 to $20 000.
