How do technological advances afftect our health?

Answer 1

Probably make us more aware of our health and give us more option if and when we need treatment.

Answer 2

Technological advances generally have been beneficial.

For example, people with type 1 (aka 'juvenile') diabetes can more effectively & quickly monitor their blood sugar levels with the devices you see marketed; for some, insulin pumps are literally a life saver.

Computers have been beneficial in medical research for assisting people with sleep disorders. PET, CRT, and MRI as well as sonograms and other devices are used as diagnosis tools which lets doctors and radiologists make better, earlier and more accurate diagnoses for a range of diseases including cancer. Early detection and treatment have been proven to enhance long term survivability in a number of cancers and other chronic conditions like heart, liver and kidney diseases. Also, things like organ transplants and fertility treatments became possible as a result of technological advances.

Sports medicine is another outcome of technological advance. Bio-mechanics helps athletes perform better by analyzing how the athlete's body moves in the performance of their sport so that corrective changes can be applied to minimize injury risk or used to rehabilitate injured muscles/bones and so on. Knowledge from sports medicine has also crossed over into standard orthopedics so that effective rehab for non-athletes who've had things like joint replacement surgery can be more easily accomplished.

Technology allows for improved quality assurance and even productivity when it comes to the food we eat and the medicine we take as well.

There is stuff too numerous to mention... this answer barely scratches the surface of your question.
