In medicine, early diagnosis could well
be achieved by utilizing nanites. Consider how advanced some
conditions become before they are properly diagnosed—including
hours or days of suffering before finally visiting a hospital,
compounded by even more hours of waiting to be seen by a medical
professional and finally (hopefully) being subjected to the correct
series of scans or tests to diagnose the condition before treatment
can even be speculated. Our future may involve a few nanites roaming
around inside each of us while they maintain a running diagnostic
report of our health. You may not want to know that your cholesterol
level is high and be told to stay away from fatty foods, but imagine
getting a text on your cell phone from one of your internal nanites
that reads: “Blockage detected, heart attack imminent. See a doctor
immediately!”
