Poul Houle, Centerville’s 17 year old teen, USA

8 sept, football training, before match practice, APPLE SMARTWATCH’s heart rate monitor tested heartbeat normal between 60 & 70.

Heartbeat raised to 145 after two practices and informed Poul about it.

It’s normal but even after resting, heartbeat remained same.

Later diagnosed with “Rhabdomyolysis”

NanoBots in Blood Miniature robots

Function like our own white blood cells and destroy bacteria and other pathogens

Far from being utilized today

Delivering chemotherapy 1000 times more powerful than using drugs

Would not cause as many side-effects to patients like the current treatments do

Can destroy bacteria, carry oxygen, create blood clots for wounds, and repair cells

16

Types of NanoBotsMicrobivore,

Respirocyte,

Clottocyte, and

Cellular repair nanobots

17

Head TransplantMoore’s law: Simulation of human brain into a supercomputer at faster perceived speed than a biological brain.

Challenges: Limited understanding of required accuracy, computational speed, plus more data is required.

World’s first head transplant is under process and is scheduled in 2017 after future research to support operation success.

Brain Preservation

• CryoPreservation

• ChemoPreservation

ConclusionTechnology is revolutionising Healthcare day by day. Some technologies are currently in stage of infancy and are very promising for healthcare dynamics in future.

3D printing is expected to grow from prototyping technology to a greater extent. And technologies like NanoBots although are far from being utilized but definitely the future somehow.

IoT is surely a winner because more and more devices and things are going to connect to the internet as per estimates.
