The new generation of implantable medical devices is based on optical and electronic materials. They will act to monitor vital signs and store data to add to the patient's medical history. Since the beginning of time, medicine has used all kinds of tricks to cure the sick. A very particular case was that of limb amputations. For centuries, the only possible solution has been to replace the missing limb by an equivalent simple: a wooden leg, a hook. For the technology of the time, it was impossible to repair an eye or a lost language. The advent of Cybernetic technology allowed the emergence of a science of cybernetic implants, which ceased to be used for purely biomedical and became the main tools to provide fertile ground for the soldier, the hacker and spy. One of the advantages of the technology used in medicine, especially in biotechnology is that advances in cybernetic implants are becoming more effective as the next leg implant has applied new technology generation.
Is currently using optical and electronic materials, which bring new benefits to the extent that in some cases, are more similar to the body part they are supplying. This leg implant acts, sending vital signs to monitor and storing data of what occurs in the patient's body, in order to perform a medical history. There are several companies that are developing more and better ways to deal with the loss of a limb; such as the Pentagon in collaboration with laboratories “Hopkinsque,” has created a robotic prosthetic arm that is capable of being controlled mentally with the help of sensors. Have also revealed that they plan their robotic prostheses, to have sense of touch using electrical impulses generated by the arm to touch any surface, and these in turn will travel back to the nervous system. Of course, the most benefits from this invention are soldiers who have lost a member and amputees. It has been paid to the laboratories $ 34.5 million for the study and development of
