O knihe
Experts agree that we are entering the golden age of medicine, when treatment will feel more like science fiction than a trip to the doctor. University of Pennsylvania Medical School Professor William Hanson offers intensely intimate true-life stories about the ways biotechnology is changing people's lives, including:
- an electronic nose the detects infection based on a person's breath
- robots that perform surgery and can feel their way around tissue
- computerized psychotherapists that dispense advice about emotional problems
- telehealth software that manages chronic illness such as diabetes
- brainwave powered wheelchairs
Hanson describes the genius behind the innovations that will shape the future of clinical medicine. This riveting and startling account will spark conversation and lead us to reexamine our understanding of mortality.
