"We are changing the world with technology"
~ Bill Gates
TECHNOLOGY EVERYWHERE!!
Technology, a tiny little word but hold a very important place in the whole world. Nowadays technology is everything that meant we can see them everywhere in different forms. If we take a look into the field of computer technologies, we can easily see the evolution of Super Computers from Vaccum Tube Computers. Evolution of Nano Technology from Macro Technology. The wearable like wristwatch can tell us the calories burnt in a day, our pulse rate, etc. Phones, one of the greatest inventions of the century, nowadays turned into Smart Phones also called as helping hand of human beings can do anything from a normal voice call to book a room in a hotel or online shopping. In the kitchen, we see a microwave oven, induction stove, dishwasher all have some kind of technology used. But like Alan Moore (English Writer) said "Technology is always a two-edged sword. It may come up with many benefits, but also bring many disasters." This was proved as a completely worthy statement when we saw the negative side of technology in Atomic Bombings in Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Well these days, many cyber frauds can also be considered as a negative side of technologies.Healthcare and Technology
In the field of medical and health care, technology is getting way more advanced. This is one of the fields where we can see a huge advancement in technologies till now and many more are in the upcoming list. All this advancement because in our complex world, a complex structure known as human beings exists. A new disease is discovered every day somewhere in the world. And to resolve those diseases we need some new technology daily. We can see some examples of advancement in medical technologies:-- Magnetic Resonance Imaging(MRI), Computed Tomography(CT) Scan, X-Ray are well-known technologies in medical fields. These technologies are very helpful in determining the problem or disease or fractures in the human body.
- Vacuum Technology used to remove the blockage from the heart to continue the blood flow.
- Robotic Surgeries are now possible.
- And man more...
URINE:-
Like blood samples, Urine is one of the important samples that can tell a lot about one's health. It contains a virtual liquid history of an individual’s nutrimental habits, workout, usage of medication, sleep intervals, and their patterns and other lifestyle choices. Urine also contains survival links to more than 600 human conditions, which includes many major killer diseases such as cancer, diabetes and kidney disease.
The testing process of urine is known as “urinalysis” (analysis of the urine). And this analysis is used is to detect substances or cells in the urine that point to different disorders. Urinalysis is very much used to diagnose a disease or to monitor for health problems.
SMART TOILETS CAN BE THE NEXT HEALTH DATA WELLSPRING:-
A team of metabolism scientists at the University of Wisconsin-Madison makes a toilet that can collect urine samples and then tell the user about the disease or symptoms of the disease if the user has any. This smart toilet will also help doctors for better understandings of their patient's health. When the user will take that urine sample, the doctor will find quite easy to gather up all the information related to its health and daily routines. This will help doctors to give proper and exact treatment to their patients to get rid of diseases.
There is a portable mass spectrometer in this toilet which will continuously put a mark on the sample. With this, the symptoms of diseases will be easily clear. Researchers of Wisconsin University use machines like chromatograph and mass spectrometers. They had tested their invention on about 110 urine samples in 10 days which has helped them to conclude that this smart toilet was capable to give warning of about 600 diseases including major diseases like a bacterial infection in the urinary tract, kidney disease, diabetes, cancer, etc.
This toilet will work in 3 steps:-
1. A urine sample has to be collected.
2. With the help of machines like chromatograph and mass spectrometers, a urinalysis will be done.
3. After a complete analysis of urine, the whole data consists of health information that will be sent to the user directly by simple remote communication.
