Another new machine is ,, da Vinci ”. Although it is from 2000 it is so modern and precise . ,, Da Vinci ” is used in hospitals around the world to carry out minimally invasive procedures where high precision is required . In many areas of surgery he is valued for a short period of convalescence after surgery . This machine is used in the following fields and treatments like cardio surgery ( coronary revascularization ), proctology ( colectomy , low frontal resection ), general surgery ( treatment of gallbladder disease , obesity ), gynecology ( hysterectomy , myomectomy ), urology ( cystectomy , partial nephrectomy ). It is a great option that this machine is so various .
All that machines are only in hospitals . We can ’ t use for example ,, da Vinci ” by ourselves . Maybe mobile apps can be a solution . We do a lot of by app : order meals , buy tickets , transfer money so why we don ’ t care ourselves . Of course it isn ’ t a professional medical appointment , but it really helps . ,, In case of Emergency ’’ ( ICE ) is it a app which gathers information about our state of health as well as contact to people who should be notified in an emergency . The second one is a ,, Bloodnote ’’. This app is a pressure measurement calendar . It is a good option to have a quick measurement . Another is a ,, Diabdis ” which is special for diabetic . It aims to support diabetics daily in controlling the disease .
We have to know that this technological solution can be also for animals . We don ’ t have to feed our dog , cat or fish by ourselves . ,, Petnet Smart Feeder ” learns the nutritional needs of an animal using sensors , software and an extensive database on animal feed . Then , based on this information , he composes an ideal portion and ingredients of food that adjusts to the age of the animal , its weight , level of activity and race . The app accompanying the device allows owners to remotely control feeding and even to order home delivery . If your dog or cat is a really fussy eater you can buy a special bowl which calculates the exact amount of food eaten by the pet . It also allows to determine the exact weight of the portion the animal should receive , based on its current weight , breed and type of food . Then the weight or volume of the food poured into it is displayed on the bowl . Animals are important family members , and new GPS devices allow them to be tracked and ensure their safety . ,, Kyon Pet Tracker ” warns owners if the animal leaves the designated " security zone " with an area of 28 square meters , keeps track of the location of the animal and can also display the information " I ' m lost " on his collar . This device allows you to follow the animal anywhere in the world with the coverage of the cellular network , set geographical boundaries that an animal cannot cross without warning , display the history of places visited by the dog and monitor the unlimited number of animals by many users on one account .
We live in better century than our forebears . It is because of science and technology we can help each other and make our life easier . Moreover new technology are still improved and we broaden our knowledge all the time . So who knows what can we expected in a few years ?
