Summary: This article is about how doctors want to place a "biostamp" in our skin to detect warnings of our medical health. It can also keep us updated and inform other doctors of our medical history, just through this one one device. It is to replace bulky metal pacemakers and other electronics given to us to monitor our health. It is still in the process of making, but it will be so convenient that it may even be able to sync to our smart phones to notify us of a medical issue happening at that moment!
Question: If you were someone who had a pacemaker, would you prefer this "biostamp"? Why or why not? Would you be scared to know at a specific moment that something wrong is going on in your body by getting a notification on your phone?
I think it's a good thing and a bad thing. I would want it because then if something is going wrong with my heart, then I can just go to the doctors and get the problem solved as soon as possible. But then again I wouldn't want to continue to think about when the next text message is going to come and having that anxiety of when another problem happens.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Aerial, the pacemaker allows doctors to see the vitals on the heart. It is important for the doctors to know this information because it could tell them if there is a potential heart attack or heart failure.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Aerial. It is a good and bad thing. I would want to know when something is wrong with my body as soon as possible. However, every notification that occurs on my phone will scare me to thinking I might havea problem.
ReplyDeleteI agree with aerial, because it's a good thing to know what's going to happen. But, it's a bad thing, because you never know what can truly happen.
ReplyDeleteI agree with all of the above. You would want to know and be able to get treatment as soon as possible, but there may be a lot of things like heartburn which can come and go and is a result of eating too much, which will scare you and your doctors into thinking there is something wrong.
ReplyDeleteI would not get this thing because insurance companies can spy on you if you have unhealthy habits or poor health and raise your rates because of that.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Aerial as well. We would be able to get treated quickly knowing that there is something wrong. However, it would scare me knowing there can be something wrong with me if i receive a message.
