POP A PILL TO SPOT. DISEASES EARLY

="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"> GOOGLE  Inc    is  exploring   a  way  to  search  inside  people's  bodies  for  early  signs  for  deadly  illness   such  as   cancer  or  heart diseases.
A  life  science  team    at   the  special  projects  Google  X lab   are  experimenting     with  having "nano particles  "   hunt  for   signs  of   medical  trouble  in  blood streams   and     then  essentially   report  findings  to  sensors    people  could  wear.
Imagined   application   include   a  test for  enzymes   given  off   by  arterial  plaques   that  are  about  to  rapture  and cause  a  heart attack  or   stroke,  or  a way  to    watch  for  cancer   cells  after  surgery  or   chemo   treatments.
Early  detection   is  known  to   dramatically  increase   chances  of successfully   treating   a  number  of  life  threatening   diseases .
Batches  of  specially    crafted   nano particles , each  microscopic  in  size , could  be   swallowed   in  pills   and  absorbed  in  bloodstreams  where  they would   stick  to   targeted   cells  such  as  cancer.
Magnetic  qualities    designed    into   nano particles  allows   them  to  be  drawn  to worn  devices   and  counted   using  non  invasive    detection  methods  such  as  light  or   radio waves,  according  to  Google.
If  successful ,  the  technology "Could  help  physicians    detect  a  disease   that's  starting  to  develop  in  the  body," Google  said.
Google  said   that it  would  license  the  technology  to   companies   interested  in   using  it   for  medically  approved   diagnostics.
Google   life sciences  team  innovations  include   contact  lenses   that  measure   glucose  levels  in  tears  to  allow  people    with  diabetes   to  track   blood sugar , and  eating  utensils   that cancel out    trembling  hands    caused  by     disease  such as   Parkinson's.
