Health Care Cares for Your Health

Health Care Cares For Your Health

In the past few decades, technology has become an extremely important tool in daily life. We are using our phones everyday to make local and international calls; the computer is an efficient equipment compares to the mail; people live longer due to the sophisticated pharmaceutical technology. Due to the improvement of high technology, people could use more personalized drugs, which has greatly advanced the health care. Frank Moss is an entrepreneur and former director of the M.I.T media Lab. I am going to use Moss’s article “Our High-tech Health Care Future” to examine the positive benefit about the health care in the future. There are challenges waiting for us, but high-tech health care would help people live healthier and longer lives.

In the short future, People will become familiar with a “digital nervous system.” The system will help the individuals monitor their health condition. In 2020, I would get up with my sleepy eyes, and head to the bathroom. Moss stated, “Your bathroom mirror would calculate your heart rate, blood pressure and oxygen level”(Par.6). If the temperature in my room is too high, I would turn down the air condition by using the digital mirror, and also press the fresh air button to enjoy a deep breath of nature air. Moss also explained, “Your vital signs and track the daily activities that affect your health, counting the number of steps you take and the quantity and quality of food you eat” (Par.6). In this early morning, breakfast would be the key to wake me up. The digital mirror would connect to the kitchen, and automatically analyze the best healthy breakfast for me that day, according the data from the digital mirror. “Software that could analyze and visually represent this data would enable you to truly understand the impact of your behavior on your health and suggest changes to help prevent illness”(Moss, Par.8). This daily check-up would help me to have a healthier life.

While I am exercising before my job, I would wear a wristband, which is different from the digital wristband we have now. I would not need to hire a house servant anymore. According to Blanco, who is an expert in advanced robotics, avionics, genomics, and biotechnology said in “Robotics and Health Care: A New Growth Market”, “improved robotic automation is one of the fastest way to increase productivity and reduce labor cost”(Par.4). The wristband would connect to my house robot who would monitor my health. It also sends a copy to my doctor’s office in case there is any issue with my health. “Many situations would still call for professional medical attention, of course, but in most cases you wouldn’t need to make a costly trip to the doctor”(Moss, Par.7). The robot would pay much more attention to my health than I would, I wouldn’t need to worry about my physical condition. The
