I'm not sure if my idea exists yet or not but I have a good feeling that someone else may be thinking about it. I would like to see new media and technology used to improve healthcare.
I'm thinking about an implant of sorts that can be used to monitor mood changes in individuals with emotional disorders. The implant will track real-time changes in hormone levels and deliver said data to a remote monitoring center. Medical professionals at the monitoring center can then trigger nanobots that counteract the hormonal imbalance bringing the affected individual to homeostasis. This can prevent an individual from acting out any of many ill thoughts like hurting themselves or others.
This implant, which enables the remote monitoring of patients can create a better quality of life for these unfortunate members of society.
Imagine taking it one step further and having these implants placed in patients that suffer from other chronic diseases. Let's take patients that are suffering from different forms of cancers. These implants along with nano-technology can be used to control a metastasizing cancer and help prevent any further spreading of the disease, adding time to the lives of people with terminal illnesses.
Providing remote healthcare is only the beginning. As the technology advances, it can be used to heal injuries rapidly and diagnose diseases at very early stages.
This use of technology and our ever connected interwebs, does not seem too far fetched. Slightly fantastical, but very possible nonetheless.
"nanobots that ... bringing the affected individual to homeostasis."
ReplyDeletethis sounds fucking terrible, you seriously should consider a career as an alien overlord
Implants that fucking track you and bring you to homeostasis, DAMN you a crazy bitch.
Have you considered patients removing the device such as in this video:

This is a good idea I wish that it could exist. But it will take a lot of money and time to implement. Also there will be many doctors at the monitering center as unfortunately many people suffer from chemical and hormonal imbalances.
ReplyDeletethis is a very good idea, hopefully it will coming in the future, even though it seems very difficult and impossible, but I think there is always a hope in the world. who knows what is going to happen in the future, and this idea will help the patients getting better from suffering the cancers, diseases, and other pains.
ReplyDeleteThis is a great idea Felix. I hope that something like this will exist in the future. It may take time and money to perfect the idea, but I think it is possible. It will change medical technology and benefit many patients.
ReplyDeleteIt could be a good idea, but I think it will take so much time and money to actually develop it. Maybe one day, you never know.
