Sound crazy? Granted, the headlines are catchy and trying to ride the wave of social-media. But the details actually make sense.

Smart health care=Innovation - Ano Lobb
Basic sciences are increasingly being applied in innovative ways to address some fundamental health care problems. Applied chemistry has combined paraffin and dye to potentially double the effectiveness of blood tests used outside the clinic.
