the the gap between the demand and supply of organ transplants have been
supply of organ transplants have been
supply of organ transplants have been immense as shown with this graph so as

you can see the values of the black dots
you can see the values of the black dots which indicate the number of patients in

been left untreated and were unable to receive full treatment now in order to
receive full treatment now in order to
receive full treatment now in order to recover this crisis as of now biologists
recover this crisis as of now biologists
recover this crisis as of now biologists doctors and engineers have come together
doctors and engineers have come together
doctors and engineers have come together to work on a project on what they call
to work on a project on what they call
to work on a project on what they call synthetic organs which in other words is
synthetic organs which in other words is
synthetic organs which in other words is a fully functioning man-made organ so
a fully functioning man-made organ so
a fully functioning man-made organ so how does this work how can we create an
how does this work how can we create an
how does this work how can we create an actual organ from the materials that we
actual organ from the materials that we
actual organ from the materials that we have so it all starts off by engineers
have so it all starts off by engineers
have so it all starts off by engineers creating the skeletal structure of the
creating the skeletal structure of the
creating the skeletal structure of the organ they want to create using a

safely inserted into our human body then the use of stem cells come in so as many
the use of stem cells come in so as many
the use of stem cells come in so as many of you may or may not know stem cells
of you may or may not know stem cells
of you may or may not know stem cells are types of cells found in our body
are types of cells found in our body
are types of cells found in our body that can continuously divide and
that can continuously divide and
that can continuously divide and indefinitely grow into creating more
indefinitely grow into creating more
indefinitely grow into creating more cells of its own kind or completely
cells of its own kind or completely

transform into a completely new set of
transform into a completely new set of cells now using these concepts these
cells now using these concepts these
cells now using these concepts these biologists and doctors want to create a
biologists and doctors want to create a
biologists and doctors want to create a completely new set of tissues and
completely new set of tissues and
completely new set of tissues and muscles of the organ they want to
muscles of the organ they want to
muscles of the organ they want to replicate and hence insert them into the
replicate and hence insert them into the
replicate and hence insert them into the skeletal structure in which the
skeletal structure in which the
skeletal structure in which the engineers create as the cells within the
engineers create as the cells within the
engineers create as the cells within the structure will divide and grow a fully

functioning artificial organ will be
functioning artificial organ will be created well it’s not as easy as it
created well it’s not as easy as it
created well it’s not as easy as it sounds but these synthetic organs can be
sounds but these synthetic organs can be
sounds but these synthetic organs can be used to for organ transplant and instead
used to for organ transplant and instead
used to for organ transplant and instead instead of actual organs that have been
instead of actual organs that have been
instead of actual organs that have been donated by donors themselves and this
donated by donors themselves and this
donated by donors themselves and this will allow more patients to receive the
will allow more patients to receive the
will allow more patients to receive the full treatment that they need so here is

the organ itself comes from the stem
the organ itself comes from the stem cells would have been inserted to the

engineers have created so what do these
engineers have created so what do these innovations in the field of biomedical
innovations in the field of biomedical
innovations in the field of biomedical sciences such as the IBM Watson and

sciences such as the IBM Watson and since that organs actually mean for the
since that organs actually mean for the
since that organs actually mean for the future well going back to IBM Watson it
future well going back to IBM Watson it
future well going back to IBM Watson it was understood that it can be used to
was understood that it can be used to
was understood that it can be used to accurately diagnose patients and detect
accurately diagnose patients and detect
accurately diagnose patients and detect which type of illnesses that they have
which type of illnesses that they have

but not only this the role of IBM Watson
but not only this the role of IBM Watson may also shift the responsibilities in
may also shift the responsibilities in
may also shift the responsibilities in which current doctors have and allow for
which current doctors have and allow for
which current doctors have and allow for new jobs to emerge for example I’m not
new jobs to emerge for example I’m not
new jobs to emerge for example I’m not saying the introduction of IBM Watson
saying the introduction of IBM Watson
saying the introduction of IBM Watson will cause doctors to completely go
will cause doctors to completely go
will cause doctors to completely go extinct but the roles that they have may
extinct but the roles that they have may
extinct but the roles that they have may change in the future once IBM Watson
change in the future once IBM Watson
change in the future once IBM Watson becomes implemented doctors then may be
becomes implemented doctors then may be
becomes implemented doctors then may be more concern

businesses and companies that regard
businesses and companies that regard with the insurance that is required
with the insurance that is required
with the insurance that is required during organ transplants and this links
during organ transplants and this links
during organ transplants and this links back to the concept of fusion which I
back to the concept of fusion which I
back to the concept of fusion which I started off with that comes along with
started off with that comes along with
started off with that comes along with the fourth Industrial Revolution because
the fourth Industrial Revolution because
the fourth Industrial Revolution because we can clearly see that these
we can clearly see that these
we can clearly see that these innovations are not only based off of
innovations are not only based off of
innovations are not only based off of cooperation between various areas of
cooperation between various areas of
cooperation between various areas of studies such as engineering medicine and
studies such as engineering medicine and
studies such as engineering medicine and biology it can also have huge influence
biology it can also have huge influence
biology it can also have huge influence on other parts of studies as well such
on other parts of studies as well such
on other parts of studies as well such as economics and psychology so during
as economics and psychology so during
as economics and psychology so during these types of changes it is imperative
these types of changes it is imperative
these types of changes it is imperative for us to understand these concepts and
for us to understand these concepts and
for us to understand these concepts and technological innovations that can
technological innovations that can
technological innovations that can change the way we perceive our life and
change the way we perceive our life and
change the way we perceive our life and understand the technological innovations
understand the technological innovations
understand the technological innovations by doing so we will better understand
by doing so we will better understand
by doing so we will better understand the concept of the fourth Industrial
the concept of the fourth Industrial
the concept of the fourth Industrial Revolution and better prepare ourselves
Revolution and better prepare ourselves
Revolution and better prepare ourselves to use them and utilize them in a
to use them and utilize them in a
to use them and utilize them in a beneficial way that will revolutionize
beneficial way that will revolutionize
beneficial way that will revolutionize our society and create a hopeful future
