pretty amazing what they can do now, picture 10 years down the road. I could not help but think when applying technology to the medical field how this can be abused, but this guy seems to be a good fellah

My friend has Parkinsons. He couldn't use his right arm much and walked with a shuffle. They put probs in his head and a little computer thing in his chest. Then ran wires under his skin to connect the two. They have a phone looking device that they can put up to his chest and adjust it. He is WAY better. Amazing.

I could not help but think when applying technology to the medical field how this can be abused, but this guy seems to be a good fellah There is going to be a bit of a fight, due to the revenue loss between the pharmaceuticals, technicians, and companies who make the high end machines. But the truth is, this type of system makes it a lot easier to monitor a person as an individual like he said. But that still won't change the fact that there are great doctors, and there are shitty doctors. And even the best tool in a dumbasses hand is dangerous. But over all, I like where they are going, especially with the heart attack monitoring system they propose. Think about it, to know you will have a heart attack before you do, and to be able to go to the hospital or doctor and have better chances of full recovery and radically reduce the after effects. If they can create said chip to monitor the blood stream, then theoretically they can also do so for cancer. Of course, this would mean that the individual would need to be comfortable with them putting the chip inside their bodies, and it should be a decision the patient can refuse. Think of what this means for mobile medicine too. What if you aren't at the hospital, but out in a secluded area and start to have adverse health issues? If you have the right equipment you could be monitored while you either go to help, or if its bad, they can calm you down and get you to do things to save yourself while the emts get there. The mobile ultrasound could save thousands of lives in a war situation when the bullet or shrapnel ricochet and bounce inside the body, allowing the field techs to find and remove the potential killer inside of them.

If only I had a cell phone that would could be interesting.
@ Craig, I saw a documentary about that kind of implants. It works for many disease or problems but the thing is, it doesn't annihilate nor solve the disease itself, it only attenuates the symptoms. Even if it ain,t perfect it sure makes a difference in people lifes.
They were also showing a british scientist who had a chip surgicaly implanted in his right or left forearm (can't remember exactly wich), connected with the nervous system. He built a robotic arm apart and when he turns it on, the chip connected to his nervous system sends a wireless signal to the arm that moves precisely like his real arm, but apart.
He's working on building a robotic self to prevent disease and "dying" and he'll try to transfer his consciousness into his robotic self someday.

Ya he knows it doesn't cure or stop the progression of Parkinsons, but you are totally right it is making a difference in his quality as of right now.
