6 tools that change the world of health

In today's modern world, there is already radar technology, which can be worn and technologically clever - some taped to the skin, some subdermal, and some on mobile phones - with this advancement the health world has achieved what we have achieved today. Some make us more active, while others promise quality of service, and improve the standard of human life.

1 ""Bionic eyes""

It is estimated that 285 million individuals in the world experience visual impairment, with the many therapies and technological innovations that exist now that eye disorders can be overcome. Also known as a retinal prosthesis system - the only thing approved is Argus II - the bionic eye that bridges the distance between light entering the eye and the optic nerve and communicates this image to the brain so we can know what we see through the integrated camera in the glasses, and implant on the surface of the eye that opens into the optic nerve. Nevertheless, this technology is still in the process of development.

2 ""Implants are barely visible""

Grindhouse's Circadia is similar to other external technologies, such as Apple Watch and Firbit from Surge, but Grindhouse is implanted beyond the skin and records sub-dermal user health data - now only temperature and blood pressure - and transmits via Bluetooth to mobile phones. Nonetheless, the second version of Circadia is said to be able to read blood sugar and oxygen levels. They believe that software now developed by other companies, such as Cisco Systems, will be useful in data processing, and then help doctors use the data, and find long-term health risks. Their long-term goal is to predict the disease before the symptoms appear.

3 ""Cyborgs with eyes that 'hear'""

This technology, although still in trial, is a technology that can be called to change the lives of game players. A person with color blindness, with this implant become able to hear the color after getting the antenna 'eyeborg' is planted into the skull.

Neil Harbisson, who received the achromatopsia, was the first person to get an implant of this device, which earned him an external electronic eye that could capture frequencies through the camera and then turn it into vibration. With an implant planted inside his skull, he now knows the colors more clearly.

All colors mean different vibrations; this means images, shapes or even colors have their own "distinctive sound". At first there was an audio input placed over his head, but then discarded when transferred into his skull, implanted like a cochlea, which made him have a wider color perception.

4 ""Duoskin for interface usage""

Developed by Microsoft and MIT, Duoskin is a fabrication process that allows users to customize the device's functionality directly on the skin. Made from gold metal leaf, which is cheap, does not irritate the skin, and is suitable for everyday use, this innovation has three types of interface form: detecting touch input, showing output, and wireless communication. This design allows users to control their mobile phone, show information, and store information on their skin while using it as a statement of personal style.

5 ""Graphene brain implants to relieve symptoms of Parkinson's disease""

Researchers from the University of Tieste in Italy and the Center of Grafena Cambridge made significant progress this year by demonstrating that graphene could affect the work of neurons without damaging their integrity in Parkinson's patients. Graphene is specifically selected because of its better conductivity, plasticity and bioconductivity in the body - all of these materials make grafene the best material for electrodes that can also be implanted, without triggering the formation of scar tissue.

6 ""Contact lenses to monitor blood glucose and disperse drugs""

This innovation is promising enough to improve the quality of diabetes care patients around the world. According to a Korean professor, this discovery could be used for the treatment of diseases and eye infections, and for diabetics this tool can be used for the treatment of infections in their eyes and also to monitor their blood sugar
