The term medical technology refers to the application of scientific knowledge and skills in the form of devices, medicines, vaccines, procedures and systems made to solve a health problem and improve patients’ quality of life (Ten Haken et al., 2018).  The technological developments observed in the 21st-century have led to tremendous changes in healthcare (Thimbleby, 2013).  What could be thought of as science-fiction a couple of decades prior, is now everyday medical practice.  From the use of robots (Hockstein et al., 2007) to tailoring therapy to each patient’s needs (Mather and Sutton, 2017), modern medicine could be considered an advanced technological profession (Mesko, 2018).  This notion is further reinforced by the introduction of modern engineering, information technology and wireless communication in everyday medical practices.
