A PATH TOO FAR? Wireless Health Care:

In the future, diseases such as cancer won’t sneak up on people, becoming evident only when it’s too late to intervene. That’s because you won’t visit your doctor for an annual checkup. Wireless devices in your home will keep tabs on your medical status every day, as you go about your daily routine. The technologies necessary for producing devices such as a smart medicine cabinet or a smart toilet—wireless connectivity, personal cellular devices, pervasive sensing technologies, social networks, and data analytics—are mature enough. A high-tech medicine cabinet envisioned by researchers would track medications, warn about potential drug interactions, reorder prescriptions, and check expiration dates. It could also interact with other devices such as digestible computer chips with built-in wireless transmitters and blood pressure and glucose monitors to indicate whether your current prescriptions are effective. This type of intervention, says the New England Healthcare Institute, will result in improved health for patients, plus an annual savings of up to US $290 billion—the cost of drug-related complications.
