Nanomedicine; Kornell Smith
Nano-science is controlling matter at a small scale, matter at the atomic level. Nanomedicine is like regular medicine, but on an extremely small scale. Nanomedicine is also much safer and effective than standard medicine practices today. It works on particles super small, as in you can put around 5,000 around a single hair. It is being used to help treat, monitor and control some illnesses and prevent different types of health issues, as well as giving doctors more consistent and accurate information, so in turn, a more accurate diagnosis. This medicine is also being looked at in terms of regenerative medicine, using the different nanostructures to fix skin cells, bones, organs, maybe even limbs(Sound familiar? Here’s a hint, The Amazing Spider Man, the lizard guy? Nothing! Okay then)? There are many downsides, risk of lung damage since most nanoparticles migrate to the lungs and that can cause severe damage and potentially death.

If there is nanotech that can enter your bloodstream and are able to connect/repair damaged nerves, what kinds of medical treatment could this lead to in the future?
What types of injuries could this kind of tech help?
Although technology is fairly new, what would you expect this kind of treatment to cost?
Would you take more risks knowing that this advanced medicine could speed your recovery, or heal you from most injuries?
The kinds of medical treatment that this nanotech could lead to in the future would be that regular hospitals will be able to use the nanotech for everyday common illnesses. This kind of tech can help all different types of injuries, both large and small. I think that since the technology is fairly new the prices should be high, but as the technology becomes more widespread the cost should go down. I think if I knew that there was this technology that could heal me from most injuries, I would be more inclined to take more risks, but I would still be very careful. -Kevin Gu
ReplyDeleteMedical nanotech sounds effective, but it also sounds extremely expensive and possibly risky.
ReplyDeletethis could be a huge leap in curing illness that we have not yet cured. -Ryan Smith
ReplyDeleteThis kind of tech can open up a whole new approach to treating even small injuries or illnesses and will hopefully become more and more available

This could help with people who have lost fingers-Caleb
ReplyDeleteI feel like this treatment would be pretty expensive, but it seems like it could be super helpful. It does seem like a risky process but would be a good thing if it treats you quicker. -Campbell Marino
ReplyDeleteI would assume this type of treatment is probably more expensive than regular treaments for thing. -Maddie Silk
ReplyDeleteI think that this technology would help with small injuries like cuts. I would expect this treatment to be very expensive since it is very advanced and likely costs a lot of money to manufacture. -Joe Panthalani
ReplyDeleteI think this technology could help a lot of people out however seems that it could be more expensive which is an issue. Once this technology becomes more and more regular this could mean that it could become more inexpensive. - sophia becklenberg
ReplyDeleteI would expect this treatment to be very expensive because it is new, and there probably isn't that much of it around, but once it becomes more mainstream I think the price would go down and be cheaper than other medications. - Steven Solomon
ReplyDeleteI think the treatment would be really expensive since it helps a lot and there is a big risk at taking it.
ReplyDeleteI think that this technology could help a lot of people, but it could be really expensive.
ReplyDeletei think that it can be vary risky but it is and could help people but it could be expensive
ReplyDeleteRyan Carter
DeleteThis treatment would most likely be more expensive than regular treatments. sarah lachance
ReplyDeleteI would expect that because this treament is new that it will be most expensive, because even without technology being totally new it is a little expensive. -Maddie silk
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't want to use this kind of tech until it has been guaranteed to be safe for people to have in their bodies. This is so new and there are so many potential risk that we haven't discovered.
ReplyDeletei think this would be expensive because it is newer technology and people may be cautious to use it because it is new and not popular yet -sophia
ReplyDeleteI think nanomedicine is an interesting topic and if it could help cure things faster I would use it. However, I feel like it can have a lot of problems and it is probably difficult to get it to work correctly. -Erik E
ReplyDeleteI think that nano medicine could cause a lot of deformities and brain injuries, but I think with more advancements in the technology it could change the way we perform and study medicine. I think that this would cost a crazy amount after its been passed and approved by the FDA. But I think scientists would actually pay people now to be apart of trials which could be an incredible opportunity. -Kendall Dees
ReplyDeletethis could help with a lot of health problems and diseases but it can be vary risky- Ryan carter
ReplyDeleteI think this could help a lot with proper techniques and is studied more so we know it is safe, also seems like it would be expensive. Lannah
ReplyDeleteI think that this nanomedicine is very important and needed because like the paragraph said it can do more than the average medicine because it works on the smallest scales of matter.-Takia McMorris
