Microchips that replicate biology will help to tackle diabetes, obesity, cardiovascular and other chronic conditions, says Pr Toumazou. Chris Toumazou, is known for creating technology that can mimic and replace biological functions. In Imperial’s annual Gabor lecture, Pr Toumazou discussed the variety of healthcare applications for microchips including his ‘lab on chip’ genetic test. In this video you can watch his unique lecture, including a live demonstration of two of his creations: a digital plaster, which attached to a member of the audience relayed real-time details of his vital signs, and an artificial pancreas implanted in another audience member and relaying live blood sugar information.
