It is the practical application of knowledge in a particular area.
It can be physical (equipment, materials or products) or intangible (principles, procedures, knowledge, or skills)
TECHNOLOGY
Examples of Technolog in Nature of Medical Technology
Microscope, Electrical Impedance Technique, Polymerase Chain Reaction
It is designed to improve the detection, diagnosis, treatment and monitoring of diseases. Clinical laboratory scientists who perform most of these laboratory tests, are involved in the examination and analysis of body fluids, tissues and cells.
