Google Human, Nanomedicine and Health Trends 2009 April 5 tags: Google, Health, Human Body, Medicine, Nanotechnology by Mitch Chester Few who saw the 1966 science fiction movie Fantastic Voyage forget the concept of humans, miniaturized, speeding through the bloodstream of a sick man to destroy a life-threatening blood clot. The enlightening images foretold the use of medical nanotechnology and a form of virtual travel, which in the near future may actually accomplish life saving missions. Scientists already are seriously studying and developing nanoshells, designed to traverse the bloodstream to attack tumors. They envision nanoparticles which can deliver man-made “therapeutic molecules” to weaken and kill deadly growths. NASA has discussed this amazing science, in an article entitled “Voyage of the Nano-Surgeons,” released in 2002. Scientific American recently published an article about the ability of nanoparticles to “penetrate deep within the body.” As this intriguing science develops, we need to actually explore how it will work by virtually seeing it. Now, a convergence of emerging technologies offers the ultimate journey. Imagine: A middle aged patient is told by his physician he has a tumor in the central canal of the spinal cord. What does it look like? Exactly where is it? What structures surround it? Just what would be done from a surgical Will Google embark on another “Fantastic Voyage?” standpoint? Anatomical experts can join with Google to image the pathway to the tumor, and literally show the microscopic roadmap that could lead to the patient’s survival. We can even graphically image how different medicines might interact with the tumor with or without robotic intervention in a computer simulation. With all the published anatomical atlases and scores of credible web site video presentations about medicine and health, there is an opportunity to take patient knowledge to the next level and disburse it planet-wide. If Google can map the Earth with aerial views, if it can map Mars, if it can explore the depth of the oceans, it clearly has the opportunity to chart the once inexplicable inner universe. We should be able to virtually travel through human anatomy to gain a new level of understanding of our health conditions and treatment options. Call it “Google Human,” which can show us from the inside, at an atomic and cellular level, what organs, molecular body structures and growths look like, their geography and their anticipated reactions to therapies and medicines. If we can imagine such medical science in a 43 year old movie, we can clearly achieve digital virtual reality travel inside the bloodstream to points of interest that concern the health of every human being. Animations, such as those shown on this page, are just the beginning. With advances in medical knowledge and the use of “nano-cameras” which explore living cells, Google Human can be updated with actual images as new explorations are made. Patients can report areas within the body that trouble them to their physicians, enabling informed after-hours virtual house calls. Patient generated electronic histories using this form of visualization can be recorded in digital records to track a patient’s on-going health condition and posted to the already existing Google Health. Different imaged systems and structures of the body can link to medical videos, articles and webinars. Yes, even medical and health ads can support the growth of such a project. But that’s not all. By integrating Google Trends with anatomical search results on Google Human, medical scientists may be able to detect geographic locations across the globe where one type of disease or medical issue is concentrated, thus providing a sort of “early alert system” for health officials. Why not? Google Trends already searches and analyzes flu trends. That’s just the beginning. Why not chart the incidence

of cancers, based upon Google Human searches, to detect the presence of negative environmental agents? On another level, think how much more exciting biology and anatomy classes would be to students if they could travel the body from within at high digital resolution. The famed physician Frank H. Netter, one of the premier anatomists, once said of his Atlas of Human Anatomy, “In creating an atlas such as this, it is important to achieve a happy medium between complexity and simplification.” To that end, he achieved, with stunning clarity, a printed realism of the spectacular human mechanism. With Google Human, human kind can enter the next dimension of anatomical study, research and treatment and embark on a voyage exponentially greater than “fantastic.” Update: Please see our April 18 piece entitled “The AlloSphere… Postscript to Google Human.” Edit This from → Body, Google, Health, Human Body, Medicine, Nanomedicine, Nanoscience, Nanotechnology, Uncategorized 5 Responses leave one →

1. 2009 April 6 ellistraub permalink You never cease to dazzle me! This exceedingly well-written, visionary forecast of things to come is the kind of thing that makes life worth living! In these days of pathos that tend to divert our attention from the positive, these are the kinds of topics that can brighten the light at the end of the proverbial tunnel. Well done! Reply edit

The examination of the fossil remains of rodents and insectivores from deposits in the cave of El Mirón, Cantabria, has made it possible to determine the climatic conditions of this region between the late Pleistocene and the present day. In total, researchers have pinpointed seven periods of climatic change, with glacial cold dominating during some of them, […] Gene That Regulates Tumors In Neuroblastoma Identified 06/09/2009 Researchers have identified a gene that may play a key role in regulating tumor progression in neuroblastoma, a form of cancer usually found in young children. Scientists hope the finding could lead to an effective therapy to inhibit the expression of this gene. More Than Just The Tailpipe: Calculating The True Environmental Cost Of Travel 06/09/2009 Trains, planes, buses and automobiles do not only effect the environment via their exhaust pipes. There is a full lifecycle of processes associated with getting from A to B that we rarely acknowledge. Researchers have now created a framework to help us calculate the true environmental cost of travel. Excessive Gaming Associated With Poor Sleep Hygiene And Increased Sleepiness 06/09/2009 Computer/console gamers who play for more than seven hours a week, and who identify their gaming as an addiction, sleep less during the weekdays and experience greater sleepiness than casual or nongamers, according to new research.

The whale bones are now being examined by researchers who, among other things, want to ascertain whether the find is the mystical "Swedenborg whale". Lethal Cancer Knocked Down By One-two Drug Punch 06/08/2009 Scientists have developed a new approach to treating leukemia, one that targets leukemia-proliferating cells with drugs that are already on the market.

Older Workers Feel Sting Of Unemployment 06/08/2009 America's jobless rate has risen to 9.4 percent the highest it's been in a quarter century. The news is especially troubling for older Americans — over the age of 55 — looking for jobs. Older Americans are being increasingly laid off for many reasons because they command higher salaries or are closer to retirement than younger employees […] Movie Revenues Up, Concession Sales Down 06/08/2009 More than $4 billion have poured into the movie box office so far this year.
