- Home diagnosis for patients

  • 03/04/1998

British scientists are developing technology that will allow complete medical check-ups to be carried out in the home within five years. Sensors capable of taking more than one million measurements of a person's body chemistry and transmitting the results down the telephone line are being developed under Prefessor Tony Turner at Cranfield University in Bedford. The data will be transmitted to a GP's surgery. There, a receiving unit will analyse it, make intellegent decision and suggest treatment options to the doctor.
