Dr. Jesse Umali
This is a combination of medicine and technology. It involves a senes of stepwise scientific processes
and employs technologies that provide meaningful diagnostic findings,
Medical Technology
An investigative solicitation of relevant
information that may establish the so-called cause and effects of health concerns and issues.
scientific inquiry
Tests are done beside
a patient.
Point of care testing (POCT)
A procedure of scientific activities which include technologies on the use of an autoanalyzer in sophisticated tertiary category, flow cytometry in histopathology and high-performance chromatography for drug analysis.
Substantial Procedure
scientific inquiry of various societal health problems and involves a wide range of laboratory investigations which includé drug testing to rule out drug addiction, molecular and nucleic acid analysis for genetic disease diagnosis, forensic investigation and scientific research.
Investigative Complicity
An Intervention in Medical Procedures that serves as the “clinical eye” in
diagnosing and treating diseases and infection. In every aspect of medical procedures, a physician always resorts
to laboratory findings in giving the right prognosis of diseases and infections.
Intermedical Procedural Interference
it embraces the techniques and
procedures laid down by science and technology like the use of polymerase chain reaction, a product of science
and technology, is used for deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) amplification. Similarly, use of high-performance liquid chromatography or an automated instrument to detect for presence of certain drugs is another example of practical application of medical technology procedure.
Assiduous Partner-an Explicit Application of Science and Technology
Evidentiary Information in Medicine which assist physicians and healthcare
providers. The laboratory findings serve as proof of the medical findings and prognosis
Circumstantial Medical Evidences
Involves a series of procedural method that are performed in a clinical laboratory.
Laboratory Diagnosis
In terms of scientific research, medical technology as a laboratory medicine,
can provide solutions to health problems and issues.
Biological and Medical Research
Medical technology serves as an eye of a medical doctor, and provides information on the prevention and control of diseases and infection.
Prevention and Control of Diseases and Infection
It has pioneered new technologies, to a large extent, on the demand of
time and epidemiology of diseases and infections.
Innovative Techniques and Technology
Medical Technology is limited to the following areas:
Laboratory Diagnosis, Biological Medical Research, Prevention and Control of Diseases and Infection, and Innovative Techniques and Technology
