The use of 3D models are coming up today from small guns to big models why not they should come into medical field? They do and they can because 3D medical materials resolve health issues. Embryonic stem cells help researchers to create new tissues which may help them in forming new organs. Printing skin does have so much of advances to develop skin disease patients, and burn victims. Organova Company has created a cardiac tissue that really beats up like patient heart. These types of materials help doctors to form their own stem cells to develop cartilage and bones.
Digestible Sensors
Digestible sensors give more number of information about human body and different organ treatment solutions. They transmit patient information to doctors to assist them in giving health advices. If the patient swallows this sensor like normal pill they do all types of functions to monitor the patient health. They look after all body system and transmit the updates to other devices like computer or smart phone. They do not even need batteries because they work with human body energy. They bring effects of medicine and help in detecting future diseases at earlier stages. The name of that pill is Helius which was developed by company named Proteus Digital Health. The bio sensors present in that pill can interact with stomach fluid to sense the signals given by them. There is no need to take other things like biopsies, x-rays.
