What if your wearable device could save your life? Nanotechnologist Dr Noushin Nasiri asks what wearable technology can do for future of healthcare, by empowering us with the ability to monitor our own wellness before we develop illness, and to help our healthcare systems become more proactive and predictive. The sky is the limit in Noushin’s inspiring and hopeful talk. Dr Noushin Nasiri has received her PhD in Nanotechnology from the Australian National University (ANU), in 2017. Then, she took a postdoctoral position at University of Technology Sydney, Faculty of Science where she continued working on nano-structured materials for health, energy and environment application.

In 2018, she joined the School of Engineering at Macquarie University as a Lecturer and Group Leader. Her research lies at the intersection of science, technology and engineering as she is focusing on early stage detection of diseases just with a puff of human breath. An array of diseases such as diabetes, different types of cancer, liver and kidney failure can all be detected from our breath alone. In much the same way as a police officer can detect if you are drunk with a breath analyser, it is possible – in the very near future – that we can detect diseases with a simple, non-invasive and quick breath test. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
