Imagine if on your next doctors visit, instead of going through all the examinations, your doctor simply handed you a pill and sent you on your way.
They may look like normal pills, oblong and a little smaller than a daily vitamin, however they are in fact fully functional ingestible computers, which travel your system and transmit back data. It sounds like something straight out of science fiction, but is it really that far off? Proteus Digital Health of Redwood City, California, has created a ‘smart pill’ system that helps patients and caregivers monitor dosages. ID My Pill for iPhone : Automatic Prescription Drug Identification. 3D Dissection Table Helps Students Explore Rare Medical Cases [Video]

The table features an interactive multitouch screen that allows users to turn, grasp and cut life-sized anatomical models and view the organ structures inside. Digital images can be rotated in any direction, organs can be isolated and view modes can switch back and forth between photorealistic, X-ray and opaque hard tissue options. Helping users make sense of what they are seeing from varying angles, an annotation feature identifies organs and anatomical details with labels that move with the body as it is turned around and cut. 15 Predictions in Healthcare, Technology and Innovation for 2013. Just like last year, now it’s time to publish my predictions for the new year regarding healthcare, medical technology and innovation.
It seems year by year many of these predictions prove to be right which makes me glad. I hope the same thing will happen to these predictions.

Tiny Wireless Implant Tests Blood Chemistry, Sends To Doctor. If you need a reminder this morning that we totally live in the future already, here it is.
Swiss researchers have unveiled a 14 millimeter long implantable lab on a chip that can monitor blood chemistry in patients and use wireless signals to alert their doctors if anything looks amiss. It’s still in the early stages of development, but if it’s successful, the device could one day be used to monitor the progress of patients with chronic diseases, keep tabs on the results of chemotherapy in cancer patients, and even as an early warning system for heart attacks and strokes.
