Breakthrough Technologies: Evaluation of Impact on Public Health. Case of Neurotechnologies

Neurotechnology is one of the main breakthrough emerging technologies which nowadays serve as columns of research and technological activity and could bring advantages in healthcare domain and society. he success in realization of neurotechnology projects and implementation new technologies will bring impact in public health. The study has showed the importance of neurotechnology implementation in public health. Analysis of neuroscience projects and what kind of new technologies is being developed on which diseases research is focused. Adaptation of international classification of diseases related to brain and mental ones helps to highlight main treats and illnesses for further research of technologies.Developing several neurotechnology classification and an analysis of existing technologies which are being designed for implementation against diseases, helps for dividing technologies by group and identify their maturity. The maturity of existing technologies is above average but not all of them approved by authorities and clinical surveillances are still in process. Even if technology is developed it doesn’t mean that it is implemented as a treat against diseases.Breakthrough technologies can be as novel as not, it depends of their performance. The technology is breakthrough in relation to the disease that it treats, and not by novelty. Any technology itself may not be the new and can be applied in another medical purpose and treat other diseases’ symptoms, even not related with brain, but if it carries a huge potential in the therapy of a specific disease, then in relation to it, it’s a breakthrough. The novelty of this research lies in identification and assess the barriers and opportunities for neurotechnologies in health care; adaptation and development classifications of disease and technologies as well as methods for technologies assessment.
