Medical technology, if used appropriately and ethically, can help humans (and animals too) maintain or even improve health. The physician, who after reading charts and lab results and consulting with the patient, and the human patient, who know what is ailing and what is economically possible, have to agree to a proper treatment; the humans are still ultimately responsible for the treatment, not the technology or instruments used.

Day-to-day usage of technology affects health. Staring at the computer monitor all day will worsen eyesight. Using an earphone to listen to loud music will reduce hearing ability. Talking on the cell phone while driving will endanger yourself, the passengers, and the people in adjacent cars. Eating processed and refined foods will cause weight gain. Irradiated vegetables will probably be free of harmful bacteria. Taking dental or chest Xrays willy-nilly will result in cell damage. Holding the phone between your chin and shoulder will eventually cause muscle spasms.
