What if you could??see??directly into another person?s brain? The?ability to read minds, referred to as telepathy, is a concept that?s?abundant in science fiction. It may however be possible courtesy of a brain-computer interface (BCI)?? a wearable device that works like a Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) machine.

HealthMatch is a mobile app that allows you to find clinical trials in the fastest and simplest way possible in real-time and tailored to your profile. It structures and aggregates clinical-trial listing data, making it machine-readable so that you can be matched with trials relevant to your condition. By simply inputting data about your condition and answering a series of machine generated questions, you will be able to easily qualify for trials and access new treatments. You can register interest in this new app which is under development.
Diabetes NSW and ACT are testing a a glucose-sensing contact lens ? a non-invasive way to monitor glucose from tears.
Glucose levels in tears are five to ten times less concentrated than those found in blood, requiring more sensitive detection. However, based on the prototype, the lenses are expected to generate a reading once per second and to not need calibration. http://diabetesnsw.com.au/smart-contact-lens-to-provide-glucose-readings/
Engineers have invented a new kind of chip that's a biosensor and can be fixed to wearables. It performs multiple functions that have traditionally required the use of a laboratory. It can analyze sweat or blood in order to detect multiple biomarkers linked to several diseases. The cells and the metallic layer of the chip work together to generate digital signals in the same way that cellular telephone networks keep track of each caller's identity. This allows for the automatic detection of cancer cells, bacteria, and viruses. https://futurism.com/lab-on-a-chip-wearable-technology-could-help-detect-disease/
Researchers have created a battery-free medical device that can be implanted in your body and charged using your body?s fluids. Despite advances in technology, batteries are still used within medical devices such as pacemakers, which are potentially harmful and need to be replaced throughout your lifetime via surgery. https://www.springwise.com/battery-free-implantable-medical-device-draws-energy-human-body/?
