The battle to curb obesity eventually may be won with an implantable stomach device. This technology, called a gastric stimulator would zap the stomach or nerves with electric current, in much the same way a cardiac pacemaker stimulates the hearts, to boost metabolism or regulate appetite signals.
Another possible surgery will involve implanting miniature computers or computer components in the body to help it perform basic functions. A processor, for examples could help release hormones. A brain computer interface may monitor and treat diseases, such as epilepsy and depression that affect brain activity . A body scanning machine will evaluate patients pain when they cannot communicate. In addition robotic legs strapped to the body can assist people such as firefighters and soldiers who must bear heavy loads for extended periods of time.
