Watanobbigoo, an island that is a part of Australia, is known for pulchritudinous landmarks and distinct experiences, and also for its world renowned health care system. Meyer Medical Institution and Clinics throughout the city provide free and personalized healthcare with 24 hour service, unlike any other city in the world. Genetic medicine offices create medicine that suits your DNA to cure diseases beforehand. In the past Alzheimer’s, a fatal and most common form of dementia, was a problem in Watanobbigoo and cities across the world. Recently, however, Watanobbigooin scientists and engineers have discovered a cure. To help prevent diseases such as Alzheimer’s, the Watanobbigooin environment is pollution-less. Smoking is prohibited in this city, and due to healthier food choices and more exercise opportunities, there are low obesity rates, which will lessen the risk of an Alzheimer’s diagnosis.
Watanobbigoo’s main focus is on Alzheimer’s disease and geriatric people, since they are the most prone to developing this disease. The need to cure Alzheimer’s has increased since the population of senior citizens has grown. The most common symptom among patients is severe memory loss. Becoming agitated and acting childlike or inappropriately may also indicate this deadly disease. Other symptoms seen in Alzheimer’s patients are confusion, difficulty with daily tasks, wandering off, and troubles communicating. Minor symptoms include misplacing items, becoming delusional, inability to handle money efficiently, and losing the capacity to care for oneself. If diagnosed with Alzheimer’s, one’s memory, language, speaking, daily activities, social, and intellectual abilities are all affected. Alzheimer’s occurs when an unnecessary surplus of proteins called beta-amyloid and tau are not correctly cleared from the brain. When this occurs, senile plaque and neurofibrillary tangles accumulate causing nerve cells to die. This causes shrinkage in patients’ brains, leading to memory loss, and the inability to properly function. Consequently, Alzheimer’s patients required the help of friends, family, and medical staff in caring for themselves. Now, with Watanobbigoo’s new virtual monitoring technology created by outstanding software, computer, and electrical engineers, a patient can receive treatment at home, without requiring friends and family to stay and care for them.
Watanobbigoo has recently discovered solutions for this progressive disease. They are available in many forms including pills, nasal sprays, and vaccinations. Every five years after the patient is genetically diagnosed, they will receive the medication. Genetic diagnosis is where a patient’s DNA is scanned to detect any possible diseases before they occur. Genetic, or personalized, medication is treatment based on each individual’s DNA and will contain different amounts of disease curing biochemical components for each person. Since Alzheimer’s is mostly genetically developed, this type of medicine will help prevent the disease. A patient will be able to access the medication at genetic medicine offices throughout the city. Dispensers are located outside these offices, where the person can provide saliva. The saliva is then used to identify and analyze DNA to find health conditions and create medication. After being scanned, the information is sent through a virtual network to the pharmacist, biomedical, and chemical engineers inside the building. Based on the individuals’ DNA, they come up with a suitable mixture for the medicine and run it through a machine which instantaneously produces a month’s supply of medicine. The process is quick and accessible, much like a fast food restaurant. The Alzheimer’s medication will have a certain amount of an antibody, varying between patients, which will break down beta amyloid and tau, so these proteins will clear faster from a patient’s brain.
Ninety-nine percent of the time the medication works, but for when it does not, Watanobbigoo is prepared. Biomedical engineers have invented an innovative device using nanotechnology, which is permanently implanted into the brain through a small surgery. When the electrodes in the device notice a brain cell is dying, it will send an electrical current to the cell, keeping it alive. The electric current will be able to separate, break down, and clear the two proteins. There are both pros and cons to these new solutions. These innovations are clinically effective, cost efficient, and help patients live longer, happier, and healthier lives. Due to genetically developed medicine, there won’t be many side effects and no allergic reactions will occur. Some cons include the high cost of medication and device production, the storage of medication, and the needed amount of equipment.
Treatment and patient monitoring are significant parts of Watanobbigoo. Every morning a person will turn on a button placed on the wall to scan saliva in the sink at home. These scanners, which use a programmed computer system that will identify one’s DNA through the saliva, provide details about a person’s health conditions that day. At home, whenever someone is sick, the person can turn on another button to virtually communicate with doctors. When turning on this button, a holographic screen located in the wall shows a hologram of a doctor from the patient monitoring building. At the patient monitoring office a hologram will appear so the doctor can watch and assist the patient. In addition, the patient monitoring buildings keep track of the medical records of each citizen. Software created by the electrical, software, and computer engineers provide all hospitals in Australia with the entire population’s medical records. This way when a citizen is travelling and becomes ill, the hospitals will know the patient’s past records, and how to treat them.
Curing Alzheimer’s was not easy, but Watanobbigooin scientists, doctors, and especially engineers made it possible. Key engineers in identifying the innovative Alzheimer’s medication were the chemical engineers who created the basic ingredients for the new pill, nasal spray, and vaccination using various chemical compounds. Biomedical engineers aided by constructing the nanotechnology that provides life to the dying nerve cells, helping patients regain memory. Electrical, computer, and software engineers created a connection of extensive medical records, and the superb patient monitoring systems. Curing Alzheimer’s could not have been possible without these engineers; they were vital to achieving this goal.
