The First Anesthetic is created for use during Medical Procedures
Dr. Crawford W. Long performed the first operation using diethyl ether as an anesthetic, to keep the patient sleepy and out of it, in order to successfully minimize pain during the medical procedure. It has been changed many times since then, but this was credited as the first official use. -
The first Galvanometer is used
Richard Caton noted electrical impulses from animals in the brain using the galvanometer, a machine which measures brain waves through electrical impulses that are then transferred back as data. The data was able to interpret how smart an animal could potentially be and it varied from animal class to class. -
The First X-ray is revealed
Wilhelm Conrad Rontgen (a German physicist) discovered the X-ray, and many did not believe it was true. The New York Times called it, “ the alleged discovery of how to photograph something invisible” -
The Electrocardiogram is Created
Dr. Willem Einthoven (Netherlands) invented the first Electrocardiogram weighing 600 lbs. It used a water cooling system and gigantic electromagnets, and required 5 operators. -

Artificial Intelligence
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is expected to make a huge explosion of growth . AI is intelligence that is designed to mimic the human brain. This new technology is expected to help doctors solve problems that are beyond the human brain capacity. -
Holographic Data Input
As more technology advances in the medical field, the need for more space will arise. This will lead to holographic screens, keyboards. and others pieces of tech for use in everyday work in the medical field, though mainly in hospitals. -
