This document discusses various ways that technology enhances and restores human abilities through cyborgization. It describes the history of the term "cyborg" and the Cyborg Foundation. There are two types of cyborgs in medicine: restorative cyborgs, which restore abilities, and enhanced cyborgs, which improve abilities. Nanoboats, stem cell therapy, pacemakers, deep brain stimulation, capsule endoscopy, artificial organs, neuroprosthetics, and brain implants are then discussed as examples of medical technologies that augment human functions or treat diseases. The document concludes that computer chips and technologies are increasingly useful for medicine and improving health.
2. CYBORG :
The term cyborg is
often today applied
to an organism that
have enhanced
ability due to
technology.
3. HISTORY
1. The term was coined by Manfred E.
Clynes and Nathan S. Kline in 1960 to
refer to their conception of an
enhanced human being who could
survive in extraterrestrial environment
2. In 2020 the cyborg foundation
become world’s first organization
dedicated to help humans become
cyborg.
4. Use Of Cyborg In Medicine
In medicine there are two types of
cyborg
1. Restorative cyborg
2. Enhanced cyborg
Advantages:
Disadvantages:
5. NANOBOATS
A nanoboats is a
nanorobots or
nanomediboats
which place more
important role in
medicine
9. Application of stem cells
The stem cell is used in different
disease such as
Neurodegeneration
Brain and spinal cord injury
Heart
Missing teeth etc…
10. Pacemaker
It is device which is use to
Provides electrical stimuli to
cause cardiac contraction
when intrinsic cardiac
activity is inappropriately
slow or absent
13. Application
Used in the following disease
Parkinson's disease
Chronic pain
Major depression
Tourette syndrome
Other clinical applications
Disadvantage
Possibility of Apathy, Hallucinations,
Compulsive, gambling, Hyper
sexuality,
14. Capsule Endoscopy
Capsule Endoscopy provide
visualization GI track by track
by transmitting image
wirelessly from disposable
capsule to a data recorder
worn by patient
15. Application
It is useful in following
disease
Crohn’s disease
Small-intestine polyps and
tumors
Celiac disease
Esophageal disease
16. ARTIFICIAL ORGAN
An artificial organ is a man-
made device that is
implanted or integrated into
a human to replace a
natural organ
17. Application
The organs that are replace by Artificial
organ are
Cardia and pylorus valves
Corpora cavernosa
Ear , Eye, Heart, Brain
Artificial limbs
Liver, Lungs , Pancreas
19. Application
The disease where Nuroprosthetics
use are
Alzheimer's disease
Hippocampal deficits
Traumatic brain injury
Parkinson's disease
Speech deficits, Paralysis , Spinal
Cord injury
20. Brain Implant
Brain implants, often referred to
as neural implants, are technological
devices that connect directly to a
biological subject's brain
21. Application
brain implants used for creating
interfaces between neural
systems and computer chips
Brain implants electrically stimulate,
block or record signals from single
neurons or groups of neurons in the
brain
22. Conclusion
Thus we have conclude that there are many
microprocessor based chips and computer
based technology that are useful in medicine
or medical sector
