Healthcare professionals have adapted the digital tools that have evolved and are now using them in
analysing patient's illnesses or further treatment. For example, The introduction of X-rays and MRI scans
reveals the inside components of the body system without surgery, hence achieving accurate results.
This approach relies on clinical data and research to make informed decisions about patient care.

Furthermore, treatments have also been improving with the use of medicines to help manage many
health conditions, such as hypertension. On the other hand, surgery has been made less invasive due to
the introduction of new techniques, which means squealer recovery for patients.

Preventive medicine mitigates diseases through vaccination, public health intervention and lifestyle
interventions, thus building immunity against viruses. Public health campaigns that promote lifestyle
changes and advocate for behaviour that reduces risk factors associated with chronic diseases have also
been brought to the forefront.

There has been a revolutionisation of patient care through telemedicine, which expands access to
healthcare by allowing consultations and follow-ups to occur remotely or over the Internet. This has
been particularly important during the COVID-19 pandemic, ensuring continuity of care while reducing
the risks of virus transmission.

In conclusion, medicine is a complex field that continuously adapts to new scientific discoveries and
technological advancements, with its primary goal of alleviating suffering and improving human health.
Despite the increasingly ethical, practical, and scientific challenges, medicine will undoubtedly face its
commitment to strengthening human life, which will drive innovation.
