Medical Advancements Associated With Biomedical Science Must Be So Slender, As Powerful, and As Serene As a Gothic Cathedral

Abstract

The incredible progress produced in different fields of science forces us to reflect. Health technology has played a major role on most of the fundamental advances in medicine, in the last 30 years. Scientific advances applied to health have increased the survival of people and have improved the quality of life. New medical technologies, interventions, innovative medical devices, advances in biochemistry, biomedical engineering and medical informatics, and drugs for acute and chronic diseases are being developed and introduced with unprecedented speed, and it is virtually guaranteed that biomedical science and engineering will become even more important in the future [1,2].
