FIVE NEW INNOVATIONS IN THE FEILD OF PEDIATRICS

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
3
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.
