Technological Advances in the Medical Field

    
     Imagine being able to check on your loved ones no matter where you are in the world. You can check little Timmy's glucose levels in Boston, while you’re on a business trip to Peru. With modern science and technology this is already possible. Check out what Eric Topol has to say about advancing medical technologies.

    
     I chose to post this talk, because this is our future. As the technological world advances it has already made many changes in the way we live our day-to-day lives. Instead of walkmans, we use ipods, and many people have gotten rid of their wired phones, as cell phones make calls easy on-the-go. These new technological innovations when used in the medical field could save thousands, if not millions, of lives every year. They allow your doctors to be able to check in on you without ever having to prick your finger or use a stethoscope. This is the future of the medical field!
