Comments on Wearable Field Hospital On A Chip
New concept in the works to create a kind of hospital uniform to minister to the troops. (Read
the complete story)
"Jack Vance fans may also recall the Meks from The Last Castle. They were fitted with a syrup sac that provided all of their nutritional needs.
"...His maw, a vertical irregular cleft at the base of this "face" was an obsolete organ by inclusion of the syrup sac which had been introduced under the skin of the shoulders."" (Bill Christensen 11/10/2008 9:44:47 AM) |
| "I was thinking more in the line of Peter F. Hamilton's Night's Dawn Trilogy:
In it some of the main characters had inplants that could monitor their healt, damage to their bodies (including poison), and take measures to repaire the damage.
Interaction between the implanted device and the user was possible through a neural link. (Almost like a nanotech device)" ( 11/11/2008 3:38:44 AM) |
| "And when the chip gets hit it injects all chemicals at once." (Nicklas 11/13/2008 4:38:41 AM) |
| "I haven't read the Night's Dawn trilogy; can anyone get me a quote for these implants? And Nicklas, that's a good point I hadn't thought of - I'm hoping that the designers of the system are thinking about it, though." (Bill Christensen 11/13/2008 7:30:38 AM) |
