The future of healthcare - and the world in general for that matter - will largely depend on the future of 3D printing, says Dr Amin Hussain Al Amiri, Assistant Undersecretary for Public Policy and Licence Sector, Ministry of Health.
During his keynote speech on the opening day of the 'Building Healthcare Middle East' exhibition in Dubai, Al Amiri said the new technology will help "restructure economies."
"From building houses and manufacturing clothes, to the food we eat or the organs in our bodies, 3D printing is the perfect example of innovation today."
Yes, you heard right, today's impressive technology is even contributing to gastronomy.
Opportunities and challenges in medical 3D printing: Models for surgical planning Pros: Flexibility means manufacturing of the 3D models can be done by external companies or in-house services Facilitates information of the patient Cons: Publications describe only single or a few cases up to now therefore value of the technology still not scientifically validated - but it is rather obvious Many other applications in nearly all medical disciplines Costs so far usually not refundable by the health insurance system Patient specific implants Pros: Already established in trauma, orthopaedic, maxillofacial and neuro-surgery Better fit to the individual anatomical situation Significantly more expensive than use of conventional implants - however costs mostly refundable by insurers if well-founded Cons: Much time needed for planning of the surgery and implant manufacturing - but mostly less time needed for the surgery itself No correction/adaption possible during surgery Regulations/approval process still rather unclear, mainly due to open quality control issues |
