Exploring the Human

Engineering has moved inside the body to innovate like never before. In neuroscience, brain implants are providing 'psychic' communication for people with locked-in syndrome. In medication, a new technology has been developed to deliver chemo and other drugs direct to the body parts that need them by bubbles in the blood stream. And ingestible electronics are being created to fight disease by sending messages down the body's own neural pathways. Caroline Steel presents with a large audience at the Royal Geographical Society in London.
