Doctor! I think I might have a heart attack.

      "Hey guys! It seems that I might have an heart attack, let me go get a check up first to the doctor first." says a friend, "Ok, see you later and say hello to the doctor for me" one of his friend reply.

The implant device

      Often before having a heart attack and passes away. Fragments of a heart-specific smooth muscle protein, fatigued or oxygen-starved muscle tissue that is broken down are dumped into the blood stream. If those symptom and substance can be detected before the actual heart attack or disruption of the heart rhythm, a treatment can be done before hand.

      So any ideas? Well a team of scientist at Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne or short name as "EPFL" have. They made the world's smallest blood monitoring device. The device is implanted under the skin, deep enough to be exposed to blood, not too deep to be able charge through skin(wirelessly, for more information click here). It can keep track the level of glucose, lactate and ATP. Providing valuable data for doctors, as well as monitoring.

      Such a wonderful device! But how does it work? Each sensor is coated with a thin layer of enzyme which is used to test blood and that reacts with blood and chemicals in it then send the information to out to our smartphone using Bluetooth. Currently the device have only a few sensors, but you'll never know how many more sensor can be added. But sadly only if the device can last forever it would seems to be flawless. The implant can only last for one month more or less and it can consider expired.

      So if the person implanted the device is saved, that person will become a customer again. An implant under your skin seems to be more and more powerful nowadays.

      Leave a comment below of what do you think of such implant! And have a good day! If it is a night now then, Have a good night!
