HEALTHCARE INNOVATIONS
Nanoscale chemical sensors will enable construction of microscopic sensors capable of detecting patterns of chemicals in a fluid.
In What Field Is the Largest Market Growth of Diagnostic Biochips Expected?
If cancers, lifestyle-related diseases such as hypertension and diabetes, and infectious diseases including influenza can be diagnosed rapidly, simply and accurately using one drop of blood, this may lead to healthcare innovation.
Technological advancement in early diagnosis and prevention also leads to improved healthcare cost containment with a decreasing birth rate and an aging population. Biochips have been attracting attention as a tool for improving healthcare cost.
MOBILE BIOCHIPS
Various diagnostic biochips are prepared, measured marker values of many items will be sent to a medical institution through a communication line, and an interview at home will be possible by a physician through a broadband network and high-resolution display.
Detection markers may increase with advancement in the use of biochips, and data on health and disease markers of many individuals will accumulate, from which databases may be constructed, and correlations between the markers and diseases will be elucidated.
Remote diagnosis of residents of isolated villages and islands with no physician may also be realized.
PERSONALIZED MEDICINE
For personalized medicine, it is important to diagnose the hereditary background and disease condition by prior tests, and the expansion of need for these diagnoses with the spread of personalized medicine is predicted.
