Technology is advancing at a rapid pace, as you know. It is virtually impossible to keep up with it!
But there are some particularly interesting new technologies in the health and fitness category that you may find extremely interesting.
MeMD.me has created an info graphic to show you what these new technologies are and what they do.
Just as an example of what is included here, there is one called the IronIC Systems Heart Attack Detecting Implant, developed by scientists in Switzerland. This is the smallest medical implant with multiple sensors created so far at 14 millimeters long. It can measure a molecule in the blood called troponin, which is something that is release 3-4 hours before a heart attack.
This device can actually measure up to 5 different substances in the blood, and is undergoing extensive testing at the moment, but it could be available in 4 years or so.
Now that is incredibly cool!
And furthermore, people have a 50% increased odds of survival from a heart attack if they get treatment within the first hour.
Think a 3-4 hour warning might help you or a loved one get there on time?
Oh, and did I mention this device is about the size of an ant?
Wow.
Other technologies include devices that will monitor your vitals signs like heart rate, blood pressure and body temperature – some can even check your hydration level (I need that one!).
Check out the other tech on this REALLY interesting infographic from MeMD.me – this is tech you will want to know about!.
