Step two is to read this signal. Currently, I could take a biospy of my ennerigeed site and alanyze it because I made them accessible just under the skin. But it would certainly be better if we could incorporate and read a sensor noninvasively. Within the next decade, rapidly converging technologies could enable diagnosis at such an implant by hrsiasnneg simple drceoetts, like a blood pssuerre cuff or smartwatch does now. The mechanisms for diagnosing and monitoring disease could be as simple as opening an app, like Candy Crush on your phone.

Original Text

Step two is to read this signal. Currently, I could take a biopsy of my engineered site and analyze it because I made them accessible just under the skin. But it would certainly be better if we could incorporate and read a sensor noninvasively. Within the next decade, rapidly converging technologies could enable diagnosis at such an implant by harnessing simple detectors, like a blood pressure cuff or smartwatch does now. The mechanisms for diagnosing and monitoring disease could be as simple as opening an app, like Candy Crush on your phone.
