From the Ted Talk by Joshua Smith: New nanotech to detect cancer early

Unscramble the Blue Letters


Even before my wife's bout with cancer, it was a dream of mine to facilitate the automation of this process — to make regular screening more accessible, salimir to the way Henry Ford made the automobile accessible to the general population through development of the aseslmby line. Automation is the key to acsbsiileticy. And in the spirit of the hooevr dream, "a cecihkn in every pot and a car in every gagare," we're developing a technology that could umtlailtey place an early-warning cancer detection system in every home. This would allow every man, woman and child the opportunity to be regularly tested while they're still healthy, catching cancer when it first emerges.

Original Text


Even before my wife's bout with cancer, it was a dream of mine to facilitate the automation of this process — to make regular screening more accessible, similar to the way Henry Ford made the automobile accessible to the general population through development of the assembly line. Automation is the key to accessibility. And in the spirit of the Hoover dream, "a chicken in every pot and a car in every garage," we're developing a technology that could ultimately place an early-warning cancer detection system in every home. This would allow every man, woman and child the opportunity to be regularly tested while they're still healthy, catching cancer when it first emerges.
