Undoubtedly, within a few decades (or less), we will rely on technology in a much more intimate way than we do today. For example, medical treatments may be tailored to an individual through routine daily detailed health check-ups, implants that restore or improve body function, and assistance systems that autonomously manage complex tasks.
NanoES research in this area is geared towards the development of portable, wearable, implantable and networked technology for personalized medical care and a more efficient, interconnected life.
