Computational Model of Human Body Based Upon the Genetic Analysis for Drug Development and Treatment
The proposed computational model of the human body is going to revolutionize the field of medicine. It would be deux ex machina of medicine. From now on, instead of treatment based upon trial and error, we would be developing the precise treatment using the model derived from the genome of the given patient.

In testing with Special Operation Forces (SOF)
DAMPS Technology Smart Boots recorded a redution in heel strike of over 68%. That means a soldier, anyone wearing DAMPS can walk 10 miles and save the shock of 7 miles.
Plantar fascitiis is the number one injury seen by podiatrists. Low back problems are the number two cause of employee downtime.
Problem: According to the US Center for Disease Control, an approximate 6 million people in the US suffer from chronic wounds caused by diabetes, circulatory problems and other conditions. An additional 1 million people have acute wounds including burns, lacerations and traumatic wounds each year.
Current Solution: Traditionally,
Worldwide, hundreds of millions of people are suffering from sleep disorder problems. Obstructive Sleep Apnea(OSA) is a sleep disorder in which people repeatedly stop breathing during sleep. It is caused by muscle relaxation during sleep, and the breathing can be obstructed. Such effort may wake up the sufferer and makes sleeping of low-quality or even totally deprived.
I envision a piezoelectric ratchet stepping motor to circulate blood as an improvement to the HeartMate II. The digital piezoelectric turbine will circulate blood with more accuracy and control than a linear electric motor. With low power consumption, less parts and natural redundancy of design will ensure its reliability.
It appears that the medical products presently available to patients lack a critical energy source.
This is very true for Insulin Pump wearers. If the batteries should go bad, there is no backup available until the user can get new ones.
Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is a disease which can begin from a small part of the body like a finger of the hand and start spreading to other parts. The muscle movement of such patients deteriorates continuously affecting the entire body. Hence gradually the patient loses the ability to talk and move.
The problem as everyone knows is the longer you are in a zero-g environment the more your bones waste away and your muscles become less efficient. My idea is not an ideal solution but hopefully it would be enough to reduce the problem on long voyages or time in zero-g.
The FlexFit Nasal Cannula employs a flexible septum hugging set of flow ports (prongs) to accomplish a snug and comfortable fit for any patient.
The FlexFit Nasal Cannula addresses a common problem, encountered usually by eldrely patients that are on a prescribed regimine of oxygen therapy.
