The mobile phones are great. We can do anything with them, as there is a app for almost anything we want to do. Now even our smarthpone may monitor our blood . Well, the smartphone itself will not monitor our condition, but will be able to tell us if it detects any potential problems.
How is this possible? Thanks to a 14mm long implant that has been created by a group of doctors and scientists from Switzerland. This small implant is able to measure levels of protein, glucose and lactic acid, among other things, both when we sleep and when we are awake.
The small implant uses a Bluetooth connection to transmit the data to your smartphone, where you can keep an eye on your current health status.
This type of monitoring is very useful because it allows even detect a heart attack before it happens, which in many cases can save the life of the person if the attack is detected early.
