TED: How your body could become its own diagnostic lab | Aaron Morris

The video discusses a new vision for healthcare diagnostics, focusing on creating a diagnostic lab inside the body for continuous health analysis. Current methods like biopsies and MRIs have limitations, especially for diseases like multiple sclerosis. The proposed inside-out approach involves implantable sites that provide real-time molecular and cellular information, enabling proactive disease prediction and treatment. The process includes engineering tissues under the skin and using sensors for noninvasive monitoring. This innovative method aims to improve diagnosis and treatment speed and accuracy.

Discuss the significance of real-time access to molecular and cellular information in healthcare.

What advancements in technology are necessary for the success of the proposed diagnostic methods?

What are the potential benefits of having a diagnostic lab inside the body?
