In Germany, created a microchip that monitors the state of the tumor in the body

High technology is now inextricably linked with almost all areas of our lives. Even cooking in most cases can not do without high technology, including the use of various kinds of computing devices and materials that come from the sphere of space flight (the same Teflon, now banned in most countries, but allowed in native land). Naturally, medicine is one of the areas where the use of high technology is necessary. More than once on Habré it was reported about the creation of those or other devices that track the change in the state of the body and tell all to the owner or to the attending physician immediately. A few days ago there was news that a special chip was created in Germany, which is able to track the changes in various tumors in the body.

Those. if the tumor grows, expands, the chip warns about it. If it decreases, the chip will also “tell” about it. At the same time, of course, no wires are needed - all data is transmitted wirelessly. A patient who has received a warning can go to the doctor, show him the findings, well, he will prescribe a treatment. According to the developers, it is quite possible to create a treatment mechanism using automatic injection of the drug into the tumor, provided that its “behavior” changes. So it will be possible to hope for automation in this difficult issue.

Scientists say that the chip will be able to help in difficult situations, when it is difficult to get close to a tumor - and in fact a similar situation occurs quite often. Next to the tumor will be placed such a chip, and if something goes wrong, the chip will “tell” about it. If everything is good, then nothing will need to be done.

The principle of operation of the chip is the determination of the amount of oxygen in the tissues surrounding the tumor. If the amount of dissolved oxygen decreases, then the tumor grows. Accordingly, the chip immediately begins to sound the alarm, and the patient can go to the doctor to clarify the situation. In general, it would be very nice if such chips really became widely used.
