The future

We live in exciting times for health. In the very near future we will be able to use a range of cheap devices and apps that will watch and measure us and warn us when things are going wrong. We can then do something about it before we become ill. The data might be sent to your doctor or fed to analysis software on your computer. What better motivation is there than to be told that unless you act now you are heading towards heart disease, cancer, high blood pressure or diabetes? In January 2014 an ultrasound scanner the size of a pack of cards was announced. We get closer to Star Trek's Bones' scanner every day.
