Internal Medicine, General Medicine Conference-IPSC 2026

Technological advances in artificial organs, including mechanical hearts, kidney dialysis machines, and bioengineered tissues, are revolutionizing the practice of internal medicine. For patients with failing organs on the transplant list, these technologies offer life-saving adjuncts and temporary solutions. Internal medicine doctors play a key role in following patients, controlling complications, and incorporating these technologies into long-term management.

Investigation into regenerative medicine and bioartificial organs has the potential to further minimize reliance on donor availability. Internists provide patients under artificial organ support with extensive follow-up care, such as infection prevention, anticoagulation management, and lifestyle counseling. Such technologies are reshaping survival rates and quality of life for patients with catastrophic organ dysfunction.
