2029: Google Your Vitals With Skin Displays.Navigation: Main page Author: Freitas Jr., Robert A. Section: Headlines/Headline From The Future
ROBERT A. FREITAS, JR. INSTITUTE FOR MOLECULAR MANUFACTURING With computerized "dermal displays" implanted just beneath the skin, typically on the back of the hand, patients can now have instant, 24-hour access to their personal health statistics. Tap a precoded sequence into the display, and it will boot up more than 5,000 searchable body stats, including blood pressure, heart rate and calorie consumption. It will even alert you to the presence of dangerous infectious microbes, such as flu viruses and stomach bugs, enabling you to seek treatment before illness sets in. The scrollable display is made of billions of biocompatible, light-emitting "pixelbots" that network with a fleet of nanoscopic robots. These robots swim through the body and relay data back to the pixelbots, which then release photons to form text and graphics directly on the skin. ~~~~~~~~ By Robert A.
