Wireless Medicine & Digital Doctors Part 4

Doctors of the 21st century will be "hard-wired" technicians geared up with new ultrasonic stethoscopes, miniature tablets with applications that pull up algorithms for diagnosing and others that take echocardiograms and EKG(ECG), along with x-rays or bone density by the bedside. All this will become pretty much standard. On admission patients will have a sticker about the size of a band-aid placed on their skin that acts as a wireless digital device that monitors blood, oxygen, heart rate, heart rhythm, blood sugar, metabolism,respirations and temperature. In the time which it takes to write vitals and perform a history and physical exam today, virtually 90 % of the diagnosis will have already been made by digital wireless device input. The triaging of a patients before "hitting" the floor will make for faster as well as more efficient physician diagnostics and utilization of their time. These "Band-Aid" technologies are not meant just for hospitalized patients either, but for everyday normal healthy personal uses. Personal devices are already being built to be placed into the Nike running shoe to measure personal metrics for example.Tje Nike shoe's ability to help patients with a sensor that can improve balance for walking and improve ambulating normally. Today's Technology has gotten so advanced that these wireless devices can now assist in diagnosing are assist in numerous chronic diseases such as Alzheimer's, asthma, breast cancer, chronic obstructive lung disease, diabetes, heart failure, high blood pressure, sleep disorders and obesity. Many of these technologies will utilize an application that can extrapalate your own DNAs code. Your genomic material(DNA) can be genotyped and phenotyped based on DN markers. The genetic material will be monitored for predisposing diseases not noted at birth or later in life.This is preventive medicine on a molecular level with the use of bio-medical technology.
