Biomedical engineering has experienced a significant evolution in prosthetic technologies in recent years, resulting in artificial organs and groundbreaking innovations for the physically disabled. First of all, advances in artificial organ technologies provide a ray of hope for thousands of people waiting for organ transplants. With the development of bioprinting technology, it has now become possible to produce customized and functional artificial organs. In this way, waiting times for those waiting for organ transplantation will be reduced and adaptation problems will be minimized.
Advances in prosthetic technologies are also notable. Innovative materials and advanced manufacturing techniques have led to dentures that are lighter, more durable and feel more natural. Additionally, advances in neuro-brain interface technologies allow prosthetics to directly control users’ thoughts, allowing users to use their prosthetics more effectively.
Recent developments for the physically disabled make significant contributions to improving the quality of life. For example, thanks to exoskeleton technologies, individuals using wheelchairs can move more independently and continue their daily lives more effectively.
However, making these technologies widely accessible and reducing their costs is an important issue. Efforts should be made to ensure fairness in access to healthcare and to ensure that everyone benefits equally from these innovations.
As a result, advances in biomedical engineering have revolutionized the field of artificial organs and prosthetic technologies. These innovations are an important step to improve people’s quality of life and offer a better life to the physically disabled.
