Its main objective is to prevent, cure or improve the monitoring of animal health. Depending on its use, <\/span><b>it can be categorised into different branches, such as therapeutic, preventive, or diagnostic<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, for example.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Applications of Health Technology in Veterinary Medicine<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The numerous <\/span><b>advances in veterinary technology have made it possible to democratise some tools<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that, until a few years ago, were inaccessible to the majority of veterinary centres. Additionally, it\u2019s now possible to create new instruments that are already indispensable in many clinics.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Improvements in Diagnostic Imaging<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of <\/span><b>the most notable changes has been the expansion of diagnostic imaging and the use of tools such as CT scans<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. As H\u00e9ctor G\u00f3mez points out in this interview for El Pa\u00eds, until recently it was common to have a CT scanner in a specialised or educational centre, where people often reused instruments that were intended for human medicine. However,<\/span><b> thanks to technological improvements, production and maintenance costs have fallen and diagnostic imaging is becoming increasingly common<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><!--HubSpot Call-to-Action Code --><span id=\"hs-cta-wrapper-a300d1d7-32ea-4a91-907d-a87c5265061c\" class=\"hs-cta-wrapper\"><span id=\"hs-cta-a300d1d7-32ea-4a91-907d-a87c5265061c\" class=\"hs-cta-node hs-cta-a300d1d7-32ea-4a91-907d-a87c5265061c\"><!-- [if lte IE 8]>\n\n\n<div id=\"hs-cta-ie-element\"><\/div>\n\n\n<![endif]--><a href=\"https:\/\/cta-redirect.hubspot.com\/cta\/redirect\/6092775\/a300d1d7-32ea-4a91-907d-a87c5265061c\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"hs-cta-img-a300d1d7-32ea-4a91-907d-a87c5265061c\" class=\"hs-cta-img\" style=\"border-width: 0px;\" src=\"https:\/\/no-cache.hubspot.com\/cta\/default\/6092775\/a300d1d7-32ea-4a91-907d-a87c5265061c.png\" alt=\"New call-to-action\" width=\"750\" height=\"119\" \/><\/a><\/span><script charset=\"utf-8\" src=\"https:\/\/js.hscta.net\/cta\/current.js\"><\/script><script type=\"text\/javascript\"> hbspt.cta.load(6092775, 'a300d1d7-32ea-4a91-907d-a87c5265061c', {\"useNewLoader\":\"true\",\"region\":\"na1\"}); <\/script><\/span><!-- end HubSpot Call-to-Action Code --><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wearables: A Quantum Leap for Monitoring During Hospitalisation<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/dinbeat.com\/en\/what-is-wearable-technology\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wearables<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> are some of the newest instruments that are becoming increasingly popular in veterinary clinics. One of their main characteristics is that <\/span><b>the pet can move freely while wearing them, so that it can continue its normal life or be more comfortable during hospitalisation<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Through a wireless system, <\/span><b>the veterinarian can get information about the hospitalised pet instantly<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and even set alarms according to the parameters he or she wants to follow. An example of a wearable is the Dinebat Uno multi-parametric harness.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Artificial Intelligence and Big Data in Healthcare<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Artificial intelligence is no longer the stuff of science fiction.

In veterinary medicine, the use of artificial intelligence is also gaining ground.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Thanks to its functions, <\/span><b>it is becoming easier to detect patterns and signs of disease, so that they can be treated in time<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Some American universities are working to demonstrate its usefulness in the veterinary world, as we explain in <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/dinbeat.com\/en\/blog\/artificial-intelligence-in-medicine\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">this article<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> on artificial intelligence in veterinary medicine.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3D Technology<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another notable development is the use of 3D technology in various areas of veterinary medicine. <\/span><b>From the visualisation of ultrasound scans in three dimensions to the use of 3D printers to make fully customised prostheses<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, 3D opens up a world of possibilities for visualising and detecting data that is indispensable when it comes to making diagnoses.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A Technological Trend That Has Just Begun<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In short, in recent years <\/span><b>we have experienced many changes that allow clinics to improve their services, optimise their time, and reach more accurate diagnoses<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. However, this is only the beginning of a trend towards technology, as year after year new proposals to improve the processes of our profession are emerging.
