Google Human, Nanomedicine and Health Trends

Few who saw the 1966 science fiction movie Fantastic Voyage forget theconcept of humans, miniaturized, speeding through the bloodstream of asick man to destroy a life-threatening blood clot. The enlightening imagesforetold the use of medical nanotechnology and a form of virtual travel,which in the near future may actually accomplish life saving missions.

Scientists already are seriously studying and developing nanoshells,designed to traverse the bloodstream to attack tumors. They envisionnanoparticles which can deliver man-made therapeutic molecules toweaken and kill deadly growths. NASA has discussed this amazingscience, in an article entitled Voyage of the Nano-Surgeons, released in2002. Scientific American recently published an article about the ability ofnanoparticles to penetrate deep within the body. As this intriguingscience develops, we need to actually explore how it will work byvirtuallyseeing it.

Now, a convergence of emerging technologies offers the ultimate journey.Imagine: A middle aged patient is told by his physician he has a tumor inthe central canal of the spinal cord. What does it look like? Exactly whereis it? What structures surround it? Just what would be done from a surgicalstandpoint? Anatomical experts can join with Google to image the pathway

to the tumor, and literally show the microscopic roadmap that could lead to the patients survival. We can even graphically image how differentmedicines might interact with the tumor with or without robotic intervention in a computer simulation.

With all the published anatomical atlases and scores of credible web site video presentations about medicine and health, there is an opportunityto take patient knowledge to the next level and disburse it planet-wide. If Google can map the Earth with aerial views, if it can map Mars, if itcan explore the depth of the oceans, it clearly has the opportunity to chart the once inexplicable inner universe. We should be able to virtuallytravel through human anatomy to gain a new level of understanding of our health conditions and treatment options. Call it Google Human,which can show usfrom the inside, at an atomic and cellular level, what organs, molecular body structures and growths look like, their

geography and their anticipated reactions to therapies and medicines. If we can imagine such medical science in a 43 year old movie, wecan clearly achieve digital virtual reality travel inside the bloodstream to points of interest that concern the health of every human being.

Animations, such as those shown on this page, are just the beginning. With advances in medical knowledge and the use of nano-cameraswhich explore living cells, Google Human can be updated with actual images as new explorations are made. Patients can report areas withinthe body that trouble them to their physicians, enabling informed after-hours virtual house calls. Patient generated electronic histories using this

Will Google embark on another Fantastic Voyage?

form of visualization can be recorded in digital records to track a patients on-going health condition and posted to the already existing GoogleHealth. Different imaged systems and structures of the body can link to medical videos, articles and webinars. Yes, even medical and healthads can support the growth of such a project.

But thats not all. By integrating Google Trends with anatomical search results on Google Human, medical scientists may be able to detectgeographic locations across the globe where one type of disease or medical issue is concentrated, thus providing a sort of early alert systemfor health officials. Why not? Google Trends already searches and analyzes flu trends. Thats just the beginning. Why not chart the incidence

of cancers, based upon Google Human searches, to detect the presence ofnegative environmental agents? On another level, think how much moreexciting biology and anatomy classes would be to students if they couldtravel the body from within at high digital resolution.

The famed physician Frank H. Netter, one of the premier anatomists, oncesaid of hisAtlas of Human Anatomy, In creating an atlas such as this, it isimportant to achieve a happy medium between complexity and

simplification. To that end, he achieved, with stunning clarity, a printedrealism of the spectacular human mechanism. With Google Human, humankind can enter the next dimension of anatomical study, research andtreatment and embark on a voyage exponentially greater than fantastic.

You never cease to dazzle me! This exceedingly well-written, visionary forecast of things to come is the kind of thing that makes lifeworth living!

In these days of pathos that tend to divert our attention from the positive, these are the kinds of topics that can brighten the light at theend of the proverbial tunnel.

Well done!
