I was just reading about the prize for the inventing the tricorder which reminded me of medical inventions that I can’t remember if they exist in reality or just my head.
The tricorder would be good in that it can be set up in booths in public such as shopping centres (or perhaps night clubs if it does STIs too – you could provide patrons with ‘clean’ bands!)
What I’ve not seen is the device like an airport scanner but with a mapping laser and camera takes a 3D&HD all over body image (yeah, you have to be naked) which can be done on a regular basis to detect changes and computer analysed for things like cancerous moles & other stuff – I’m sure that exists?
After they are about then there needs to be something where you lie face down in special goo which can make an firmness map that can’t be done with a laser which can both aid with healthy living but also perhaps check for odd lumps.
These body maps can then be sold on to niche fetish sites to make some money back for the NHS. (not really!)
..and whilst were on the subject of boobs (well, nearly) why don’t they put lots of thin silicone strands on to implants which can be fed under the top layer of skin (using a needle on the end inside and a magnet outside) up and over the shoulders to create an internal bra type thing to prevent skin stretching/droopage?
