Remote-Controlled Drug Device Could Deliver Chemo at Home - 0 views

  •  
    This article is about a new device that could help avoid the usual visits to the doctor for injected medicines. It is done by implanting a microchip inside the patient's abdominal. Then the physician administers the drug by remotely pumping the meds into their system. So basically, the microchip delivers you the meds at the doctor's command. I think this is a good breakthrough in technology and medicine. I mean imagine getting the same medicine that is usually injected to you without the hassle of arranging appointments to the doctor and having to go through the pain of the needle. There is one concern though. What if someone sits on the button by accident or forgets to push the button? But nonethless, I find these device a very great thing to have in the future.

Apple's hiring spree of biosensor experts continues - 0 views

  •  
    The iWatch, Apple's much speculated piece of future wearable tech, is becoming more viable daily as Apple hires more tech experts with in backgrounds in medical technology. This lends it self to speculation that the iWatch will not only be wearable tech, but also wearable tech with medical uses. Among those hired are Marcelo Malini Lamego, a research and development expert who in the past has developed another piece of wearable medical tech. This in combination with the hiring of algorithm and biosensor developer Nima Ferdosi strongly point to the iWatch being more fact than fiction. Michael O'Reilly is another recent acquisition by Apple, this time a Chief Medical Officer at Masimo medical. This is especially strange because Mr. O'Reilly has a background in medicine, not technology. This, taken into account with Apple's latest grab at wearable medical technology developers suggests that the iWatch may not be far off, and it may be the future of at home medicine.

  •  
    We all forget to take our medicine every once in a while. But say goodbye to that daily woe with the new RxmindMe app. This app will remind you every time you told it you have pills to take. It also tracks prescriptions, store information about your doctor and pharmacy, and access to the FDA Drug Database so any and all users can know all about what they're actually taking. It also lets you take pictures of the pills, so you don't get confused with pills that look similar. This is a small step forward in the world of humans and technology, and it shows how our world and the world of technology grow ever closer, as it is used to help us in our every day lives.
