Diagnósticos, próteses, vacinas, genómica: a medicina que ganha anos de vida.
A medicina que ganha anos de vida: rastreios assistidos por IA que examinam milhões de doentes, vacinas de nova geração, uma genómica que passa da sequenciação ao tratamento, próteses e implantes que devolvem capacidades perdidas. A secção segue os ensaios clínicos concluídos, as autorizações de introdução no mercado, as implantações hospitalares — o momento em que uma tecnologia deixa de ser uma publicação para se tornar um cuidado.
Os números mandam: coortes, taxas de deteção, mortalidade evitada, custos. Cobrimos de bom grado os sistemas de saúde que implantam em grande escala — a Índia, o Brasil, o Sudeste Asiático — porque as tecnologias frugais costumam provar-se aí antes de chegarem a outros lugares. Cada artigo apoia-se no ensaio, na autorização ou no estudo que o funda, e cita-os.
