<html> <p>I would like to remind us that a perfectly advanced technology is almost indistinguishable from magic. A new trail has been blazed in the field of medical science with the unveiling of the "<strong>intelligent wearable bandage</strong>" Or you can just call it “<strong>Smart bandage</strong>”</p> <p><img src="https://i.imgsafe.org/93/9383b3ba68.jpeg" width="640" height="480"/></p> <p>[<a href="https://futurism.com/harvards-futuristic-intelligent-bandages-can-repair-your-body/">Image Source</a>]</p> <p>I know some could ask: What is this bandage all about? Well, fasten your seat belts let's take a little ride into this amazing tech.</p> <h2><strong>Bandaging healing kit</strong></h2> <p>The term "bandage" is really not a new term. At least, it has stuck around for centuries. But a new phase in bandaging technology is about to be heralded.</p> <p>Some groups of researchers and inventors from Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Harvard Medical School, and Nebraska-Lincoln University have made a mind-blowing invention of an intelligent bandage. The medications embedded in this bandage are stored in their individual fibres and can be activated from a smart phone.</p> <blockquote>Wearable technology is getting more impressive</blockquote> <h2><strong>The mechanics of operation</strong></h2> <p>The bandage is embedded with fibres which conduct electricity and also contains soothing antibiotics gel. A micro-circuitry from the bandage is connected to a Smartphone wirelessly. The work of the fibre is to trigger the release of the gel combined with electrical impulses from the bandage at the stipulated time; and the wound gets healed (or rather "repaired" ), just like the <strong>Qigong energy</strong> popularized by Chinese Shoalin monks.</p> <p><img src="https://i.imgsafe.org/93/938410fce2.jpeg" width="335" height="200"/></p> <p>[<a href="http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1388248114000113">Image Source</a>]</p> <h2><strong>Future applications of this tech</strong></h2> <p>This might sound weird, but advances are already being made to see a way to use this tech as a resuscitative therapy for <strong>brain-dead</strong> patients. Is that possible? The answer is an emphatic YES. This could be the tech that will ultimately alter the biological course of human existence permanently.</p> <h2><strong>Similar Techs</strong></h2> <p>Though these techs are in their infant stages, I can tell you this: This intelligent bandage is not the only tech to achieve these feats. Here's a list of some similar techs:</p> <ul> <li><strong>Temperature-responsive bandage</strong>: This kind also facilitates healing of wound. It responds to changes in the temperature of the affected (traumatized) area.</li> <li><strong>Nanoscaling sensor bandage</strong>: This one tracks the health of the individual using a 5G network data.</li> </ul> <p>It is really amazing how technology is being incorporated in almost every field of human life, even in medicine. Tech always rules.</p> <p><br></p> <p><em><strong>Thanks for reading</strong></em></p> <blockquote>References for further reading: <a href="https://futurism.com/harvards-futuristic-intelligent-bandages-can-repair-your-body/">Ref1</a>, <a href="http://www.en.patientathome.dk/projects/monitoring-diabetic-foot-ulcers/multisensor-intelligent-bandage.aspx">Ref2</a>, <a href="http://www.deccanchronicle.com/lifestyle/health-and-wellbeing/170417/new-smart-bandage-tells-doctor-how-wound-is-healing.html">Ref3</a></blockquote> <p><img src="https://i.imgsafe.org/ae/ae9cc89fec.jpeg" width="239" height="164"/></p> <p><img src="http://i.imgur.com/EN9mTyN.gif?1" width="597" height="162"/></p> <p><br></p> </html>
