Diagnosi, protesi, vaccini, genomica: la medicina che guadagna anni di vita.
La medicina che guadagna anni di vita: screening assistiti dall’IA che esaminano milioni di pazienti, vaccini di nuova generazione, una genomica che passa dal sequenziamento alla terapia, protesi e impianti che restituiscono capacità perdute. La rubrica segue le sperimentazioni cliniche concluse, le autorizzazioni all’immissione in commercio, le adozioni ospedaliere — il momento in cui una tecnologia smette di essere una pubblicazione per diventare una cura.
I numeri comandano: coorti, tassi di rilevamento, mortalità evitata, costi. Copriamo volentieri i sistemi sanitari che adottano su larga scala — l’India, il Brasile, il Sud-est asiatico — perché le tecnologie frugali si mettono spesso alla prova lì prima di arrivare altrove. Ogni articolo si appoggia alla sperimentazione, all’autorizzazione o allo studio che lo fonda, e li cita.
