What is it?
Recently a group of scientists has discovered the Mark I scanner, which can monitor the entire health of the patient within a very short time period (NS Medical staff writer, 2021). It gives accurate information about the physiological state of the patient. The gadget is being launched by the Q Bio Gemini platform. The platform is providing a self-driving whole-body scanner, which can be considered as the first body scanner for proactive care.
What is the efficiency of the Mark I scanner?
The newly invented Mark I scanner is able to gather information about the current health state of the patient and the scanner is able to deal with the changes in the anatomy of the patients’ physiology (The Scientist Staff, 2021). The scanner can monitor the patient health within just 15 minutes. “Our aim is to bring a sea change in how health care is delivered on a large scale,” explained William Stanford, the scientific officer of the Beverly Hills Institute for Precision Medicine. Before operating, all the information about the patient is uploaded to the platform, along with the medical records, such as test reports of blood, urine, sugar, Saliva, and so on. By gathering all the information about the patient together, the platforms can produce digital twins of the patient’s body chemistry and anatomical structure (NS Medical staff writer, 2021).
Why it is different from other body scanners??
Unlike the other preexisting body scanners, Mark I scanners can monitor the entire body within just 15 minutes. Persons going through the scanning process, do not have to suffer from claustrophobia through the entire process and the patient can sit, stand or lie down during the scanning process (NS Medical staff writer, 2021). The company has also mentioned that the scanner provides more precise information even without machine learning.
“Until now, no existing technology has been able to develop a digital twin in a cost-effective way that combines an individual’s genetics, chemistry, anatomy, lifestyle, and medical history over time, with integrated tools that make it easy to correlate between quantitative changes and an individual’s risk factors”, explained by the CEO of the company.
The Mark I scanner is effective to dig out deeper information regarding the progression of any kind of disease. The scanner is able to digitize human health at a reasonable price performance. Thus, the company has brought a great innovation in the health science by launching this product, capable to monitor the entire patient body more comprehensively than the other existing scanners, within just 15 minutes
