The Industrial Revolution was marked by innovation and rapid improvement in factories, technology, and business.

The history of medicine has been an interesting work in progress. Medicine is not always an exact science though with the help of technology it is becoming increasingly so. In the 1700’s and 1800€²s, medicine in the United States often relied on spiritual healing, herbs, and outdated ideas. In 1895, the x-ray was invented. This changed the course of medicine because doctors could get a better picture of the condition of the body.

For this paper, please research the evolution of technology in medicine. You may want to watch the below video on Artemis, a new technology that enables a doctor to see a 3-D image of a person’s organ, helping them to operate more effectively. Or you can choose your own medical technology to research. Then write in response to one or more of the questions below the video link.
