Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a common systemic autoimmune disease with complicated pathogenesis. Symmetric pain and swelling in multiple joints are the primary clinical symptoms. The early diagnosis and treatment significantly contribute to the better prognosis of RA patients. However, there are still a lot of obstacles in the way of diagnosing and treating RA, and innovative models are urgently needed. As an innovative cross-research model, the applications of the combination of medicine and engineering in the biomedical field present a good prospect, which is expected to improve the demands and defects of traditional RA diagnosis and treatment. Herein, this article reviewed the research progress of the new technologies’ applications in RA diagnosis and treatment in recent years, in order to broaden the new strategies of RA precision diagnosis and treatment.
