iD'Avatar, a safer bio-medical interface created by NYMU-Taipei team. In this year, we aim for developing a safer medical environment of optogenetics therapy. Optogenetics is the latest neuroscientific method breakthrough promised to take over electrode stimulation due to improved specificity for certain types of neurons, reversible bi-directional stimulation, and elevated spatial precision. However, to achieve neuronal network stimulation, light cables are still needed, which only substitutes the original steel electrodes, leaving long-standing annoying issues regarding immune responses unresolved. By the way, many countries haven’t established their own electronic medical records; thus, communication between doctors and doctors is really a tough problem. Furthermore, when you travel around the world, you may encounter the same problem that without a medical record, doctors may do a wrong decision which may cause exacerbations or even death. Two systems have been designed to solve the problems above: wireless neuro-stimulator and MRY labeling system. (1) Wireless neuro-stimulator - focuses on achieving remote neuro-stimulation to minimize the invasion and damage to the brain tissue by using a species of magnetic bacteria, Magnetospirillum magneticum AMB-1. On the magnetosome membrane of AMB-1 locates a transmembrane protein, Mms13, which binds very tightly to the magnetite. And we have chosen it as our target for protein design as it serves as a linker between reception of magnetic field and signal transduction directly within biological systems. Furthermore, the aim to achieve intracerebral symbiosis is also highly stressed. (2) MRY labeling system- An efficient way to prevent medical negligence. MRY stands for Medical Record Yeast, which contains your medical records in a DNA encoded fashion, which can’t be easily decrypted. This design can prove your own privacy and information safety. Medical records yeasts which can be symbiotic with human skin are labeled on your upper arm. Doctors will do a quick screen to collect Medical records yeasts and use special DNA hybridization chip to decrypt the medical records and do the diagnosis properly. this system can help the medical records exchange between doctors and doctors, preventing information asymmetry happens in some countries without proper electronic medical records system or when having an emergency call in foreign hospitals. | |
