The new technologies include painkillers that soldiers take prior to battle, a bandage that promotes skin repair with electrical impulses, and a sensor that can detect internal trauma through the eye.

It is too bad that they can’t use this type of dedication and innovative thinking and apply it to the prevention of longer term, chronic illnesses and other broader areas where the majority of our health-care challenges lie.
