Personal health chips

The person s health chip will permit periodic searching of an international health manifestation database (IHMD) to identify emerging health problems, predict outcomes. 

The accepted safe intake of acrylamide for the average person is 14 micrograms per day, although the World Health Organization estimates that a Western-style diet provides 70 micrograms per day. So should we worry about this The answer is probably no. It would appear that our body s natural detox defences are more than capable of disposing of this amount quite easily so we can continue to enjoy fried potatoes. If you are still worried, then you should always eat protein with your chips or fries because this can bind to acrylamide and prevent it entering the cells of the body. 

Rather than using a commercial Web connection, such as Health Vault, some persons may prefer to carry a periodically updated digital computer chip that contains the lifetime manifestations of their health. 

Note that the vision of self-controlled EMR is hardly new. Researchers and practitioners have long realized that sharing medical records does not have to be the responsibility of clinics and hospitals [4]. Indeed, back in the mid-1980s, there was a vision that a patient is given a card device like a smart card with a computer chip and that, being a connecting entity of all health information, the card is used when a person receives medical treatments. This vision failed because of the problems associated with device capacity and interoperability.
