Google Human, Nanomedicine and Health Trends
2009 April 5tags:Google,Health,Human Body,Medicine, Nanotechnology   by Mitch Chester Few who saw the 1966 science fiction movie
Fantastic Voyage
forget theconcept of humans, miniaturized, speeding through the bloodstream of asick man to destroy a life-threatening blood clot. The enlightening imagesforetold the use of medical nanotechnology and a form of virtual travel,which in the near future may actually accomplish life saving missions.Scientists already are seriously studying and developing nanoshells,designed to traverse the bloodstream to attack tumors. They envisionnanoparticles which can deliver man-made “therapeutic molecules” toweaken and kill deadly growths. NASA has discussed this amazingscience, in an article entitled “
Voyage of the Nano-Surgeons
 
,” released in2002.
Scientific American
recently published anarticleabout the ability of nanoparticles to “penetrate deep within the body.”
As this intriguingscience develops, we need to actually explore how it will work byvirtually
 seeing
it.
 Now, a convergence of emerging technologies offers the ultimate journey.Imagine: A middle aged patient is told by his physician he has a tumor inthe central canal of the spinal cord. What does it look like? Exactly whereis it? What structures surround it? Just what would be done from a surgicalstandpoint? Anatomical experts can join with Google to image the pathwayto the tumor, and literally show the microscopic roadmap that could lead to the patient’s survival. We can even graphically image how differentmedicines might interact with the tumor with or without robotic intervention in a computer simulation.With all the published anatomical atlases and scores of credible web site video presentations about medicine and health, there is an opportunityto take patient knowledge to the next level and disburse it planet-wide. If Google can map the Earth with aerial views, if it can map Mars, if itcan explore the depth of the oceans, it clearly has the opportunity to chart the once inexplicable inner universe. We should be able to virtuallytravel through human anatomy to gain a new level of understanding of our health conditions and treatment options.
Call it “
Google Human
,”which can show us
 from the inside, at an atomic and cellular level,
what organs, molecular body structures and growths look like, theirgeography and their anticipated reactions to therapies and medicines.
If we can imagine such medical science in a 43 year old movie, wecan clearly achieve digital virtual reality travel inside the bloodstream to points of interest that concern the health of every human being.Animations, such as those shown on this page, are just the beginning. With advances in medical knowledge and the use of “nano-cameras”which explore living cells,

can be updated with actual images as new explorations are made. Patients can report areas withinthe body that trouble them to their physicians, enabling informed after-hours virtual house calls. Patient generated electronic histories using this

form of visualization can be recorded in digital records to track a patient’s on-going health condition and posted to the already existing
Google Health
. Different imaged systems and structures of the body can link to medical videos, articles and webinars. Yes, even medical and healthads can support the growth of such a project.But that’s not all. By integrating
Google Trends
with anatomical search results on

, medical scientists may be able to detectgeographic locations across the globe where one type of disease or medical issue is concentrated, thus providing a sort of “early alert system”for health officials. Why not?

of cancers, based upon

searches, to detect the presence of negative environmental agents? On another level, think how much moreexciting biology and anatomy classes would be to students if they couldtravel the body from within at high digital resolution.The famed physician Frank H. Netter, one of the premier anatomists, oncesaid of his
 Atlas of Human Anatomy, “
In creating an atlas such as this, it isimportant to achieve a happy medium between complexity andsimplification.” To that end, he achieved, with stunning clarity, a printedrealism of the spectacular human mechanism. With

, humankind can enter the next dimension of anatomical study, research andtreatment and embark on a voyage exponentially greater than “fantastic.”

 1.2009 April 6ellistraub permalink  You never cease to dazzle me! This exceedingly well-written, visionary forecast of things to come is the kind of thing that makes lifeworth living!In these days of pathos that tend to divert our attention from the positive, these are the kinds of topics that can brighten the light at theend of the proverbial tunnel.Well done!Reply edit 2.2009 May 3Mitch Chester   permalink   5.3.09- For an excellent video concerning nano robots and how they will be powered, see the Scientific American presentation athttp://www.scientificamerican.com/video.cfm?id=21818160001. Reply edit 3.2009 May 5Mitch Chester   permalink   Learn about gold nanoparticles that travel through the bloodstream fromScienceDaily.com:http://tinyurl.com/dj75cn
