medicine with Patrick Leyseele

• The discoveries made in recent months have been
  exorbitant thanks to the cutting-edge technology
  available today. Here we offer you some of the
  novelties that are being put into practice.
• Who raise their hand who has turned to doctor
  Google to find an explanation for their ailments?
  Yes, we all have. In fact, it is likely that many
  people
• we suffer from cyberchondria defined by the
  Fundeu Foundation as "the obsessive concern for
  health that leads us to constantly consult the
  Internet to confirm diseases that are believed to
  be suffering, generally serious, or in search of
  symptoms, effects or possible treatments".
• And, as the latest study on "Citizens facing
  e-health" reveals, 85 of citizens look for
  information on diseases through search engines as
  the only option.
• Therefore, to combat disinformation in health,
  the solution is through chatbots, or virtual
  assistants, who, with availability 24 hours a
  day, 7 days a week, will help as a reliable
  source of information.

• Protons against cancer
• Proton therapy or aerotherapy aims to prevail
  over conventional radiotherapy. The last one is
  carried out based on photons (A rays),
  electromagnetic waves that leave high doses of
  radiation both at the input and at the output,
  meanwhile protons are accelerated, high-energy
  particles that do not emit radiation.
• This reduces toxicity in healthy tissue and
  focuses only on the tumor to be treated. The
  great advantage is that it does not affect the
  most delicate organs such as the eye, kidney or
  heart, which is next to the tumor.
• An earpiece alerts you before having an epilepsy
  crisis
• Good news for all those who have epileptic
  seizures.
• It is a headset called MJN-Seras that, through
  the ear canal, monitors the activity of the
  brain, and alerts the user of the possibilities
  of suffering a crisis through a game of colors
  green if the activity is normal, yellow indicates
  a medium risk of crisis to take the first
  precautions and the red color alerts you when the
  seizure is imminent. The software of this medical
  device connects directly with an App to the
  mobile phone.
