Fantastic voyage - peering inside the body.
Technology
Our body is talking to us all the time, we just can't hear it. What will it take to build a megaphone and a translator? What already exists today and what still needs to be built? Kenzen is pioneering new ways not just to peer inside our bodies, but to understand how we choose to live in them—and to improve our chances of doing so better, longer—using tiny sensors, big data, and the portable supercomputers we call smartphones.
