Assignment 1: Data Future Scenario – Appendices

Appendix 1

The conception is to have this device to flow through the user blood stream to monitor; beats per minute, complete blood cell count (indicate illness or organ failures), blood glucose, lipoprotein (cholesterol) and traces of minerals and vitamins in the blood (deficiencies). While Cambot seeks to monitor the physical attributes of humans in regards to physical health and contribution of health diet/nutrition. This will alert the individual to make adjusts to their diet or make the diagnosis of health condition quicker when going through public or private health systems. With the wireless connection of Cambot, medical doctors can investigate further to control Cambot to discern a full diagnosis.

Appendix 2

Cambot works in coalition with SensoChip that takes inspiration from WINCS (The Wireless Instantaneous Neurotransmitter Concentration Sensing System) (Kimble et al 2009). This chip will monitor the chemical levels and changes with in the brain; serotonin (overall body functioning and mood) and dopamine (pleasure and cognitive functions). This chip will have a unique frequency emitted that, when scanned will be linked to the user’s database. This database will be linked to their health records (blood type, medical history). With this chip it could also be collated with a bigger data set that can be used to process further user data for example travel patterns and movements (connection to mobile device, GPS, WIFI connections), purchase history (contactless payment through the scanning of the Chip). The result is to build a more holistic picture of the individual to through a digital means, impacting various actions the individual may undertake.
