4 21 st Century Medicine Patient is thought to have intestinal cancer - which of the following are currently used tx? A tiny camera travels to the site and confirms the diagnosis –Cancer Surgery performed by robot controlled by the Doctor Microprocessor Nanodiamond Patch placed where residual cancer cells might remain  Monitors for residual cancer cells  Delivers medication - programmed to control dosage size, timing, and history Hospital recovery unit scanners monitor up to 80 patients: records (labs, vital signs, patient by camera) looking for emergency trouble spots T he surgeon monitors the patient remotely from his office Upon return home the patient is monitored 24/7 by the doctor through a phone Monitoring system checks environmental factors in patients home Source: www.interlink-ntx.org
