I am also praying that this technology can heal those with Parkinson's disease like Michael J. Fox. There are a great many who suffer from neurological disorders and diseases that completely disable them.
There is some tech insert that is being tested for Type 1Diabetics (went to convention about diabetes where a doctor doing the first human trials was talking). The initial test was with a product the size of a credit card & produced insulin on demand. The speaker believed they could get it down to the size of a stamp.
It is frustrating that over 10 years later they still haven't released it to the public. That doctor said in their first phase that Type 1 Diabetics didn't need any insulin & their glucose levels ran normally with no spikes.
They had just finished a 3 or 6 month trial IIRC & the next phase was to look at a trial that would last years. I am hoping the FDA didn't kill the project.
You are correct Anon! I meant quadriplegic.

Agreed, I hope this can help them.
