Medical technology are special tools, equipment, and machines that help doctors and nurses take care of people who are sick or hurt.
Just like you have toys to play with, doctors and nurses have special "toys" that they use to help people feel better. There are lots of different kinds of medical technology, but some examples are:
- Stethoscope: This is a long, curvy tube that doctors and nurses put on someone's chest to listen to their heartbeat and breathing.
- Blood pressure monitor: This is a machine that squeezes your arm tight for a few seconds to check how hard your heart is working.
- X-ray machine: This is a big camera that takes pictures of the inside of someone's body, so doctors can see if there are any broken bones or other problems.
- MRI machine: This is another big machine that uses magnets and radio waves to take even more detailed pictures of the inside of someone's body.
Medical technology really helps doctors and nurses do their jobs better, because it lets them see things that they can't see with their own eyes or hands. With these "toys," they can figure out what's wrong with someone and how to help them feel better.
