Wearable devices and wearable tech.seems to be making waves now as most tech firm are flexing their muscles in that area but that's not what this post is about...
There is been reports of health-monitoring "tattoos" that tell doctors how heart, muscles and brain function, well another one on same plate is developed using nano technology which takes drug into your body system and also makes sure it's not much or less..
In form of patches that can stretch and have a nano-particle coating which monitors muscle activity, it is sprung into action by heat, when the temperature of the wearer rises it increases delivery of drug.. So this system erases the occurrences of forgetting to take drugs as at when due.
Parkinson's disease sufferers were used as an example, in cases where body heat doesn't change but more drug is needed, a built-in heater is activated to start the flow.
There is report that in the future, wireless components could be added to the patch aiding doctors to monitor patients and increase or decrease drug delivery without the patient having to visit the hospital, pleasant, right? well, hold your horses, this technology is still in developmental stages but it is sure promising..
