Smartphone is one of the most powerful tool that we carry around in our pockets everyday. They can measure vibration, light, position and some of them can even measure air pressure and humidity. Now, blood.
Yes. Soon, your smartphone could monitor your blood 24/7. By monitoring, they can detect and alert you if there is any abnormalities in your blood. The catch is that this will require you to have a tiny implant. Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne in Switzerland have in fact, created the world’s smallest medical implant measuring at only 14 mm. It is capable of measuring your proteins, glucose, lactate and ATP.
The implant uses Bluetooth technology to constantly transmit the data to your phone. The implant is powered by an inductive patch charger that provides a constant 100 miliwatts of power. Basically, what it does is giving the implant its power wirelessly!
With this kind of monitoring system, problems such as heart attacks can be detected before they occur. Maybe even for cancer prevention too?
