How Medical Innovations Affect You

Thanks to advances in medical technology, millions of Americans are leading longer, healthier lives. Lifesaving and life-enriching innovations are being made in fields such as orthopedics, ophthalmology, cardiology and oncology (cancer treatment).

"The extraordinary value of medical technology has changed many lives for the better," said Jim Mazzo, chairman of the Value of Technology Campaign at AdvaMed, the world's largest medical technology association.

Award-winning actress Jane Seymour recently shared her own experiences with advanced medical technology. Until a few years ago, she suffered from a painful, chronic back condition that gradually worsened. At one point, her pain became so severe that she underwent an emergency discectomy, a minimally invasive procedure that completely ended her pain. "After that surgery, I was back to work in one week."
