Are Human Bodies Due for an “Upgrade”? 🤔How MedTech is Pushing Our Limits 🚀
The human body is a marvel—but it has limits. We get sick, age, and need 8 hours of sleep just to function. Yet, for centuries, we’ve used technology to overcome these barriers.
In the latest MedTech 101 Podcast, I explore how medical technology has evolved to augment our physiology:
Ancient Ingenuity: The oldest prosthetic (a wooden toe from 950 BC!) helped restore mobility.
Invisible Insights: X-rays (1895) let us see inside the body without a single incision.
Digital Leverage: Telemedicine and AI now give us instant access to care and faster diagnoses.
The Future: Brain implants, AI-driven personalized medicine, and pain-blocking spinal tech are rewriting possibilities.
But with rapid innovation comes big questions: Where do we draw the line? How do we regulate progress without stifling it?
🎧 Listen to the full episode as we dive into the past, present, and ethical future of MedTech.
