Today, we discuss 3 top futuristic medical
technologies:
In
silico clinical trials
Transferring from extremely expensive and long
clinical trials to small microchips that may be utilized as models of human
organs, cells, or entire physiological systems offers clear benefits. Components
or drugs might be tested on them without limits that might make clinical trials
more accurate and faster (in all cases the circumstances and conditions would
be the same). Organs-on-Chips
technology has the ability to utilize stem cells to mimic body
organs with a sequence of devices. Most specialists think this technology might
revolutionize
clinical trials, as well as completely replace animal
testing. Also, it might improve cancer care.
Real-time
data
It isn’t just about monitoring and checking vital
signs –intervention is the key to better health. Imagine sensors embedded in
the teeth that are able to recognize jaw movements, speaking, coughing, and even
smoking in order for it to record when you consume too much food or smoke no
matter what your physician told you. It’ll be very difficult not to follow your
doctor’s advice. Imagine the exact same wireless technology utilized in organs that
prove real-time data.
Medical
tricorders
If using thin e-skins or having an embedded sensor
isn’t a viable choice for us, let us make an old dream come to life. The idea
of the Star Trek’s tricorder has been in existence for years and we still do
not have it.
Devices like Scanadu is
an early stage mobile device that empowers patients, or Viatom Checkme which
not just measures an individual’s body temperature, but also traces ECG,
measures rhythm and pulse rate, systolic blood pressure, oxygen saturation, and
sleep and physical activity, fully transforming the concept of healthcare.
Rather than frequently waiting for the verdict of a medical professional,
patients will be able to control their own health.
