USC School of Medicine has come up with a potential advancement in technology and health- care; an implantable defibrillator that costs $20,000. The only flaw in this plan is everyone has to agree on this idea, including the patient, the hospital and doctors, and also the insurance company. The patients have been surveyed and they say they would pay $30 to $50 per month (which will be added on their phone bill) to have this information and their safety in case of a heart attack. This implantable defibrillator has a chip that can track the heart functions of the patient. The information will then be tracked at the hospital.
This device has the potential to benefit the overall economy. It will improve the patient's quality of life. It will increase the use and importance of cell phones. It also has the potential to make the doctor's job easier.
