After the plan has released, people are
started wondering whether there is any negative consequences. In
fact, several tests and trials have been done to prove that it does not
contains any unexpected effects. Additionally, these nanoparticles are not
going to stay forever in the body like what other forms of
nanoparticles will do; it will expelled through urine. Moreover, it
has no chance to cause a problem in the body because it takes a very short time
to circulate through blood with its features of incredible tiny size.
Also, Google is working on
developing several versions of nanoparticle pills that could fit with
people from different health risks. However, since this technology is
still at an early development stage, it might bring negative consequences that
have not been figured out.
Google, the search engine is not taking any
medical data that gathered by the wearable device as there will be another
third party, a medical company to look after the security and privacy; they
are working together in launching this technology. Therefore, it can be
trusted.
