3D PRINTING

From kidneys to hands, 3D printers are

churning out made-to-order
bones and rudimentary organs.
organs.
 BIONIC LIMBS

Prosthesis merely resemble

a human limb.
Scientists are building bionic
limbs with machines
intelligence that can sense
their environment and predict
a user's intentions.
IBM Watson

IBM says that Watson, its

artificial-intelligence technology,
can use advanced computer vision to
process huge volumes of medical
images. Now Watson has its sights set
on using this ability to help doctors
diagnose diseases faster and more
accurately.

Veti-Gel has successfully closed wounds to rats' liver and carotid arteries,
but further tests are necessary for FDA approval and distribution for humans.
 E-SKIN

Thin electronic material

that mimics human skin
in one or more ways.

Specifically, human skin can sense pressure and

temperature, stretch, and can heal itself. Electronic skin
aims to apply these functions to robotic and health
applications.
 Nanotechnology and Cancer

The use of nanotechnology in cancer treatment offers some exciting

possibilities, including the possibility of destroying cancer tumors with
minimal damage to healthy tissue and organs, as well as the detection
and elimination of cancer cells before they form tumors.
