Future Medicine- jan-2014

How the future technologies mould the medical industry?
Nanoscaling,biotechnology and chip technology - are going to play very crucial role and these scalable technologies make the healthcare affordable and accessible to even remote villagers.
for ex: 
1.a chemical sensor, akin to the human nose, to track chemical markers in your breath.
is based on the same principles as the human nose: use one sensor to measure all ~300 chemicals in the breath, and identify a chemical fingerprint based on previously programmed information. That is, during its developmental phase, the chemical sensor is being exposed to chemical combinations that indicate various disorders.That there are approximately 1-5 chemicals per disorder, and that the sensor should be capable of identifying more than one disease at a time, similarly to how the human nose can identify more than one scent at a time.
2.skype doctor.When Mr Vivek, awoke with a swollen knee after a night out with friends, he knew he should probably see a doctor. Problem was, "I couldn't move from my couch, and I didn't want to pay for cabs to and from the hospital,".
So vivek grabbed his phone and opened Doctor on Demand, a new app that allows users to video-chat with doctors to get medical help in real time. He typed in his symptoms, got paired with a nearby specialist and sent him a few photos of his knee. Within minutes, the doctor ent the prescription.
