In recent years, technology has played a transformative role in disease management, improving diagnosis, treatment, and patient care. With rapid advancements in artificial intelligence (AI), big data, wearable devices, and high precision diagnosis through a revolution in medical imaging, Gemelli Health Solutions is embracing some of the most cutting-edge technologies in healthcare, which can significantly improve patient outcomes:
1 High-Precision Diagnosis in Just 30 Seconds – A Revolution in Medical Imaging:
The center is equipped with some of the most advanced medical technologies available, including an ultra-fast CT scanner, one of the most efficient imaging systems globally. This device can perform high-precision diagnostic scans in just 30 seconds, significantly accelerating the diagnostic process and enabling physicians to develop accurate and effective treatment plans based on real-time, highly reliable data, Siemens Somatom Force, one of the most advanced computed tomography scanners in the world. This technology provides high-resolution imaging while significantly reducing radiation exposure, making it ideal for patients requiring frequent scans, children, and the elderly. These groundbreaking advancements position the Gemelli as a global leader in diagnosing and treating cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, and obesity with unparalleled efficiency.
2 Philips 3D Echo – Cutting-Edge Cardiac Imaging Technology:
As part of Policlinico Universitario Gemelli’s commitment to pioneering medical innovations, the center is equipped with the Philips 3D Echo, one of the most advanced echocardiography devices in the world. This state-of-the-art system revolutionizes cardiac diagnostics by providing highly detailed, real-time 3D imaging of the heart’s structure and function. This allows physicians to assess heart conditions with unprecedented clarity and accuracy, ensuring timely and precise diagnoses. The Philips 3D Echo system is particularly valuable for analysing heart valve function and complex cardiac disorders such as heart failure, cardiomyopathy, and congenital valve defects. It also plays a crucial role in interventional cardiology procedures, including catheter-based heart treatments and minimally invasive cardiac surgeries, enhancing precision and reducing the need for traditional open-heart surgery.
3 Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM):
CGM systems track glucose levels throughout the day and night, offering real-time insights for individuals with diabetes. These devices consist of a sensor placed under the skin that measures glucose levels in interstitial fluid, transmitting data to a receiver or smartphone. CGM aids in adjusting insulin therapy and understanding glucose trends.
4 Holter Monitoring:
Holter monitoring involves continuous ECG recording, typically over 24 to 72 hours, to detect cardiac arrhythmias. A study comparing 24-hour Holter tests with 72-hour single-lead ECG monitoring using adhesive patch-type devices found that extended monitoring increased the detection rate of atrial fibrillation (AF). Specifically, 72-hour monitoring with the adhesive patch device improved AF detection by 1.6-fold compared to the 24-hour Holter test.
5 Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring (ABPM):
ABPM measures blood pressure at regular intervals over 24 hours during normal daily activities, including sleep. This method provides a comprehensive profile of blood pressure variations, aiding in diagnosing conditions like hypertension and assessing treatment efficacy. According to the Cleveland Clinic, ABPM involves wearing a cuff connected to a portable device that records blood pressure readings every 15 to 30 minutes during the day and every 60 minutes at night
With this technology, Policlinico Universitario Gemelli solidifies its status as a leading advanced medical center, offering patients cutting-edge diagnostic capabilities and highly effective treatment solutions. This investment in the latest innovations elevates the standard of care, ensuring optimal health outcomes and transforming patient experiences.
