[00:00.00]Health
[00:02.17]In the western world
[00:04.03]the number of people
[00:05.34]who smoke cigars or cigarettes
[00:06.98]has diminished substantially
[00:08.52]in the last several years.
[00:10.81]Maybe the use of tobacco
[00:13.00]will be eliminated completely.
[00:15.85]Will we be able to
[00:18.15]heal illnesses and diseases
[00:19.89]as soon as the
[00:21.31]symptoms are identified?
[00:22.63]A cure for cancer
[00:24.81]would be considered a miracle.
[00:26.89]Could the disease be conquered
[00:30.07]with adequate commitment of
[00:31.78]federal funds to furnish
[00:33.53]financial resources? Accomplishment¹
[00:36.71]of this project would be
[00:38.56]a triumph of enormous proportions.
[00:40.54]It would be equivalent to
[00:43.16]sending several rockets to
[00:45.13]Mars simultaneously². It would improve
[00:48.52]the welfare of all humanity.
[00:50.93]Instead of using a thermometer
[00:53.66]to take our temperature,
[00:55.72]maybe we will have sensors³
[00:57.80]implanted in our bodies
[00:59.22]that will be read
[01:00.75]by a personal health care monitor.
[01:03.60]The machine could tell us
[01:05.90]if we are in need
[01:07.32]of more oxygen in our blood
[01:08.96]or if the food
[01:10.38]we just ate is difficult
[01:11.92]to digest because of
[01:13.67]too much acid in our stomachs.
[01:15.97]Will an appointment with
[01:18.37]a doctor be automatic
[01:19.79]if we are in need
[01:21.33]of treatment or will
[01:22.75]that profession become obsolete⁴?
[01:24.38]The monitor might also
[01:28.43]have the ability to prescribe
[01:29.97]a lifestyle program for us.
[01:32.38]A woman might be able
[01:35.43]to determine if she
[01:36.75]is pregnant from the
[01:38.39]use of this machine.
[01:39.70]A remedy for a sore limb
[01:42.11]might be verified if
[01:43.53]the person is uncertain
[01:45.06]how to treat it.
[01:46.93]A sore throat, a cough
[01:48.78]or a stiff neck might
[01:50.65]also be diagnosed and treatment prescribed.
[01:53.71]Tension in parts of our body
[01:57.10]can be caused by stress
[01:59.33]and precautions and preventative
[02:01.52]steps could be recommended.
[02:03.27]A machine might be used for
[02:06.33]the administration of medicine as well.
[02:09.50]Could you adjust to
[02:11.58]the idea of having an injection
[02:13.23]given to you by
[02:14.65]a robot using a needle?
[02:16.07]In fact, the precise dosage
[02:18.69]might be easier to
[02:20.01]attain using this method.
[02:21.65]It seems logical to
[02:24.60]make use of equipment that
[02:26.46]can evaluate symptoms and
[02:28.43]interpret data if the
[02:30.07]performance proves reliable
