Google is developing a system that requires users to swallow a pill containing disease-detecting nanoparticles and wear a wrist-worn sensor, The Daily Mirror reported Wednesday.
The system, being deveoped by the company's Google X research unit constantly monitors the blood for the unique traces of cancer, enabling diagnoses before symptoms appear.
Andrew Conrad, who is in charge of developing the system, said we are trying to "change medicine from reactive and transactional to proactive and preventative."
