With technological advances progressing at such a vast rate, the research into medical technology is inevitable explored. I like what the article said about how Silicon Valley bringing their products under FDA scrutiny was "alien" to them. When products are built and released so frequently it makes me wonder what medical technology has been underway and for how long. I think that the regulations on medical technology is absolutely necessary. As much as these advances could benefit those with medical needs, the accuracy and professional expertise is a very important aspect. I know of medical conditions of friends that are anomalies in nature and only certain professionals are familiar with the treatment. Having somebody with an education in the matter and the ability to judge certain situations should be present when dealing with the human body and life itself.
