The Avatar films used sensors to capture the movement of actors to make them look like aliens. Scientists have adapted the technology to track the progression of diseases. The researchers say it could also be used to monitor patients recovering from other diseases that affect movement. These include any condition involving the brain and nervous system, heart, lungs, muscles, bone and a number of psychiatric disorders. Motion capture suits that bring characters to life in films like Avatar are helping researchers track the onset of diseases which impair movement. In many cases, the quicker such conditions are assessed the sooner a patient is able to receive the appropriate support and treatment. What can you say about technology evolution in the medical industry ?
