AWARENESS What Are We Doing?

The characteristics of tools, machines, and instruments used in the healthcare field will be examined to make a catalog of the equipment available in clinics, hospitals, and health centers, so that the community members know which services they can have access to.

starting Point

Human beings have always manufactured technical objects and instruments that can help them meet their needs, facilitate their activities, and increase their physical capabilities.

Nowadays, it is common to listen to conversations or find information and data about technological developments that influence the economic, health, education,and agriculture sectors, among others.

Dealing with a pandemic as serious as COVID-19 was a turning point in the lifestyle of the entire population, since this health contingency led to a closer link between human activities and technology. Many technological advances were vital to continue with our activities. For example, the use of communication and information technologies at work and school was enhanced, and, at the same time,technical advances were essential to design and produce vaccines.

Many of these advances took place in the healthcare field; for example, in dentistry it is now more common to use resins to treat cavities than to apply amalgams made of mercury (which can affect your health) and other metals.
