Top 10 Best Medical Innovations For The Coming
Year
2
1. Vaccines to Prevent Public Health Epidemics

• Vaccines to prevent public health epidemics such
  as Ebola and meningococcal B get fast-tracked for
  approval so patients can receive them earlier.

3
2. Genomic Directed Clinical Trials

• Genetic profiling of patients better matches them
  to clinical trials, which increases their chance
  of benefiting from research studies.

3. Gene Editing Using CRISPR

• CRISPR is a therapy in which the human genome is
  altered in an effort to eliminate genetic-based
  disease.

5
4. Water Purification Systems for Prevention of
Infectious Diseases

• A self-sustainable processor turns solid waste
  and sewer sludge into safe drinking water for
  hundreds of thousands of people.

6
5. Cell-Free Fetal DNA Testing

• A non-invasive diagnostic test has a tenfold
  better chance of diagnosing Downs syndrome in a
  fetus.

7
6. Cancer Screening via Protein Biomarker
Analysis

• A test that detects changes in the structure of
  certain blood proteins can diagnose many types of
  cancer with high accuracy.

8
7. Naturally Controlled Artificial Limbs

• Sensors pick up neural codes sent by the brain
  and send them to computers to be deciphered and
  used to operate prosthetic limbs.

8. First-ever Treatment For HSDD

• A drug restores sexual desire in premenopausal
  women who have no medical-based explanation for
  their loss of libido.

10
9. Friction-less Remote Monitoring

• Devices that allow health care providers to
  monitor patients from afar such as needle-free
  glucose monitoring, which uses biosensors on the
  skin to collect information on glucose levels.

10. Neuro-vascular Stent Retriever

• A new device, used alongside standard tPA
  treatment for stroke, removes clots and results
  in speedier recovery for patients and a better
  chance for independence.
