In the coming decades, technological innovation is poised to transform medical care. Health monitoring devices are becoming more portable, providing more information to aid in diagnosis and decision-making. Robotics-aided surgeries are on the rise, enabling surgeons to perform surgeries remotely and with greater precision, consistency, and dexterity. Medical exoskeletons, emerging technologies for medical imaging and diagnosis, nanorobotics, and 3D printing of implants and medical supplies can reduce waste and improve patient care. In all of these areas, ASTM is developing standards worthy of each new life-saving breakthrough.
