Qantas is trialling a biometrics system that uses your face as your passport at Sydney International Airport. Participants will have their face scanned to prove identity, instead of a passport. In the future your face will be your passport and your boarding pass. Qantas customers will not only be able to check-in for their flight using the technology, it is also available for their lounge staff who can create a more personalized experience when you arrive. https://www.cnbc.com/2018/07/05/your-face-will-be-your-passport-qantas-passengers-start-using-biome.html?
Theresa May was spotted wearing a diabetes patch when she met Donald Trump for a black-tie dinner in London recently. She revealed her type 1 diabetes diagnosis in 2013 and uses the FreeStyle Libre flash glucose monitoring device which has a small sensor that lasts for two weeks and monitors the fluid just under the surface of the skin. When you wear it you can scan it with another device or a mobile phone to get your blood sugar level.

The images created by the Lumitron Hyperview machines have 1000 times the resolution of a traditional X-ray. Limitron Technologies plans that its machines will be able to replace traditional X-ray and CT scanners in hospitals and identify problems such as tumours in far more detail. They would also have ultra-low radiation compared with today's machines and theoretically be able to treat a tumour with precision radiotherapy at the same time as imaging it.
