Heart ailments are the bane of society in recent times, with many people finding out about their heart problems (emotional and physical) way too late. Researchers at the University of Texas at Austin could introduce a potential lifesaver, where a credit card-sized nano-bio-chip requires you to smear your saliva on it. Once inserted into an analyzer, the results will show within a quarter of an hour, pinpointing heart ailments as well as predicting a heart attack risk of the subject. It will take some time before this technology will be able to reach the masses on an affordable scale, so do take good care of your health in the mean time.
