Even with success accomplished through extensive propagation of advanced technologies, there is substantial opportunity to advance medical techniques. This includes treatment of more patients, doing so more securely and with better clinical success. Building Smart Cath Labs is highly related to it. Discussing further, Catheterization Laboratory, also called Cath Lab, is a medical examination room where angiogram, angioplasty, ablation, and implantation of pacemaker are carried out.

Exposure to ionizing radiation is a matter of prime concern for interventional cardiologists and other cath lab staff. Such radiation increases the risk of cancer and cataract amongst them. Apart from radiation, there is an orthopedic injury-related risk too. The radiation protection apron worn by the medical personnel is heavy enough to affect the spine or lead to chronic back problems.
