One of the biggest beneficiaries of the constant breakthroughs and emergence of future tech is the healthcare industry.
Today, Yas Aloosy looks at three examples of new tech which look to take the healthcare industry by storm.
Electronic Aspirin
Electronic aspirin is a patient-powered tool that can help patients block the cause of chronic headaches. It involves the implanting of a small-nerve stimulating device on the side of the head which is affected by the headache. At the onset of a headache, patients can put the device on the cheek of the side of the head and block the neurotransmitters causing the pain.

More present than future tech, robotics have already made quite a huge impact on the healthcare industry. One of the most obvious examples of this is in surgery wherein robotics can make more precise incisions. Telemedicine and drones have also been considered in this category as well.
Needleless Diabetes Treatment
There is a company named Echo Therapeutics that is coming up with a transdermal biosensor that can read the blood of a diabetic to check the blood sugar levels. This patch may render painful skin pricks and other syringes for diabetics obsolete, Yas Aloosy notes.
