A PILL TO DETECT CANCERS
A PILL TO DETECT CANCERS
Google
is trying to innovate a pill to detect cancers, imminent heart attaches and
other diseases sending microscopic particles to blood.
Andrew Conrad, the head of life
sciences inside the company’s Google X research lab revealed that they were fashioning
nano particles about one billionth of meter in width that combine a magnetic
material with antibodies or proteins that can attach to or detect the other
molecules inside the body. After entering bloodstream they attempt to detect
the molecules which cause diseases.
As the core of these particulars
is magnetic, they can be gathered using a wearable device to know about the
detected information. Conrad said that there was an evidence to prove that
those particulars were safe as they have been already used in some modern medicines
and some tests like MRI.He explained that the particulars wold be expelled
through urine. The wearable device is configured to send detected information
to doctor through internet. The aim of that is to provide continuous checkup
instead of an episodic checkup.

Google is actively looking for
partners on the project and it is unclear how far along the company is in
developing the technology.
