The industries involved in research and development for the medical field are numerous. The military and defense industry, the information technology industry, as well as more consumer related companies such as the optical lenses production industry, all contribute to the growing mosaic that is modern healthcare.

The leaders in these industries strive for the most interesting and useful results through constant improvement, ongoing research and a multidisciplinary approach. Just as the human body is a complex mechanism, though still not entirely understood, the research and multidisciplinary development that is to be applied in healing the body is also complex.

These industries occasionally work together with the government to pool resources and gather the best from both the public and private sectors. They aim to make new breakthroughs and ensure further scientific advancement. These advancements are further used to improve human lives and wellbeing in many different ways.
