The importance of studying civilization diseases manifests itself in the impact of changing lifestyles, on the number of deaths and causes of death. Technology transfer plays an important role in the prevention and treatment of these diseases. Through this, it is possible to transfer new treatments and diagnostics to clinics and hospitals more quickly and effectively, which leads to better healthcare for patients. Technology transfer can also aid in the development of new drugs and therapies that can be effective in the treatment of civilization diseases. The paper aims to evaluate the technology transfer process in the field of civilization diseases, using COVID-19 as an example of a pandemic that requires quick development and transfer of technology. To achieve the assumed goal, we propose a multivariate synthetic ratio in the field of civilization diseases (SMTT-Synthetic Measure of Technology Transfer) to analyze data from the Global Data database. We used sub-measures like SMTT_value (Synthetic Measure of Technology Transfer_value) and SMTT_quantity (Synthetic Measure of Technology Transfer_quantity) to measure technology transfer and put the data into a graph. Our analysis focuses on 14 diseases over a period of 10 years (2012-2021) and includes nine forms of technology transfer, allowing us to create a tool for analysing the process in multiple dimensions. Our results show that COVID-19 is similar in terms of technology transfer to diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, neurodegenerative diseases, and breast cancer, even though data for COVID-19 is available for only 2 years.
研究文明病的重要性体现在生活方式改变对死亡人数和死因的影响上。技术转让在这些疾病的预防和治疗中起着重要作用。通过这种方式,可以更快、更有效地将新的治疗方法和诊断方法转移到诊所和医院,从而为患者提供更好的医疗服务。技术转让还可以帮助开发新的药物和疗法,这些药物和疗法在治疗文明病方面可能有效。本文旨在评估文明病领域的技术转让过程,以 COVID-19 为例,说明需要快速开发和转让技术的大流行情况。为了实现既定目标,我们在文明病领域提出了一个多元综合比率(SMTT-Synthetic Measure of Technology Transfer),以分析来自全球数据数据库的数据。我们使用了一些子指标,如 SMTT_value(技术转让综合指标值)和 SMTT_quantity(技术转让综合指标数量)来衡量技术转让,并将数据放入图表中。我们的分析集中在 14 种疾病上,时间跨度为 10 年(2012-2021 年),并包括 9 种形式的技术转让,使我们能够创建一个用于多维分析过程的工具。我们的结果表明,COVID-19 在技术转让方面与糖尿病、心血管疾病、神经退行性疾病和乳腺癌等疾病相似,尽管 COVID-19 的数据仅可用 2 年。
