Google developing a cancer detector

[jonsie]

Looks like Google are branching out....

"Google is aiming to diagnose cancers, impending heart attacks or strokes and other diseases, at a much earlier stage than is currently possible.

The company is working on technology that combines disease-detecting nanoparticles, which would enter a patient's bloodstream via a swallowed pill, with a wrist-worn sensor.

The idea is to identify slight changes in the person's biochemistry that could act as an early warning system.

The work is still at an early stage.

The tech company's ambition is ultimately to create a wristband that would take readings of the nanoparticles via light and radio waves one or more times a day."

That will be an great invention from Google!

My dad also had a long cancer...and everything would have gone better if it had been detected earlier.

Virtual kudos -> Jonise for sharing and Google for the initiative.
