"We have (nanoparticles) that circulates throughout the body to look for cancer cells and then collecting it with a magnet. The nanoparticles were later able to tell us what is happening in the body," said the head of Google Life Science Andrew Conrad as reported by The Atlantic.
Nano particles that would cause bodily harm cancer cells light up, and finally detected by the bracelet. The system is highly dependent on the light emitted through the skin, so Google began to develop its own human skin tissue.
Conrad admits some people may find it strange if there nano particles that circulate in the body they detect cancer cells. "But even more strange if there are cancer cells circulating in the body that is slowly trying to kill you," he said. In this way, Google X tried changing medical treatment from being reactive to being proactive and preventive. To assist their research, the analysts have started to create a custom human skin using synthetic leather and genuine human skin tissue obtained from donors.
When researching this human skin, the researchers found, skin pigment turns varies by ethnic people, as well as the thickness of the skin. Wearable technology this one is still in the early development process, but Google X has begun registering criteria such as what a healthy person's.
The researchers conducted an experiment on 175 healthy volunteers to gather their health information. "You get a good yanng development, but the journey is still far away and difficult. But I hope this can be realized in a few years, not decades," he concluded.
