The physiologist of the Russian service Engy Health Natalia Krurtikova called two main trends in medicine: the development of predictive and integrative medicine. Their singularities clarified in a conversation with “Tape.ru” in the framework of the Cyberreality project.
In predictive medicine, the human genome is deciphered, which allows not only to know its predisposition to diseases, but also to choose the treatment of the disease already who have already made themselves. Integrative medicine perceives the human body as a whole, and doctors treat not a specific organ or system, but consider the disease in general.
In the future, the disease can be identified in advance when the person has no clear symptoms. This doctors will help new equipment. It will determine the risk of developing certain diseases in a practically healthy person. Technique recognizes the first symptoms and reports doctors.
To control the heart rhythm, ENGY Health has developed a small gadget. Its users are offered to do measurements in the morning and in the evening: the algorithm will analyze the change in cardiac rhythm and will tell about the health state of the host of the device, and at the same time will give useful tips.
“We are confident that the measurement of heart rate variability in the near future will become the same familiar component of health examinations as a pressure measurement in the circulatory system,” says Kratykova. According to experts from the company, it is important to learn to predict the disease – then it will be easier to treat them.
The project “Cyberreality” is dedicated to how high technologies change the life of Russians and humanity in general. He talks about how the development, which a few years ago seemed fantastic, today ensure security, help in everyday life, save lives, expand the horizons of people with disabilities and care about the elderly.
