April 20196Alex D'souzaManaging Editoreditor@Medicaltechoutlook.comEDITORIALThe Changing Face of PediatricsAs technology makes its mark in healthcare, the way it has impacted the progression of childcare and their welfare is remarkable. With companies enhancing their solution portfolio targeting a relatively young audience that needs to be given meticulous care, the changing trends are evident in the pediatric sector. It is a well-known fact that children's needs are different, which is why the testing, diagnosis, verification and support processes vary from those of adults. Aiding these processes, a new era of automation is in place with virtual reality, augmented reality, and artificial intelligence taking over the childcare spectrum while changing the face of pediatrics. Today, virtual reality rooms are lending a hand to autistic kids suffering from phobias, to overcome their fears. Humanoid robots are providing assistance in teaching specially-abled children essential social skills thereby enhancing their learning opportunities.Another element of innovation making its way to reduce the widening gap of immediate childcare is telemedicine. A host of pediatric-specific applications emphasizing on maternal and infant healthcare are streamlining communication and information exchange between hospitals and patients. Newborn care solutions for tracking and providing care in the critical minutes and hours after the delivery of an infant right up to their discharge from the hospital and beyond, are being introduced into the healthcare sector. Surgical systems aimed to meet the unique needs of pediatric patients in the market have been developed for children with varying health conditions.Keeping track of the expanding medical industry and childcare in particular, this edition of Med Tech Outlook compiles the current trends in the pediatric industry and some of the innovative pediatric solution providers that are significantly impacting the medical landscape. We have featured cutting-edge solutions from leading and emerging companies along with valuable insights from the industry's decision makers.
