Remote Operative Technology
With the help of video
phones
And remote technology,
aSurgeon would be able
to Perform a surgery,
using robotics, from the
other side of the world!
Nanobots!!!Nanobots are
molecular scale robots that could be programmed to deliver medicine, destroy specific cells, or even just sit and wait for a problem to occur inside the body!
Key-hole SurgeryKey-hole surgery are
operations performed inside the body without highly invasive surgery.
Usually assisted by robotic arms and extenditures.
DNA SequencingHelping to decode
the DNA of people and creatures in order to be able to specifically describe the DNA code that causes genetic disease.
