Biohacking Market – Summary
The healthcare sector is moving gradually towards customization of treatment. The cure for a particular disease depends mostly on individual biology and more the knowledge, more the chances for finding a better cure for various diseases. Many can consider biohacking or Do-it-Yourself (DIY) biology as avant-garde, but it’s the next leap that synthetic biology is making. The procedure includes constant monitoring of an individual’s biology with a blend of medical, nutritional, and electronic technique. The lab experiments are done in this process on a much smaller and focused scale to explore various possibilities associated with biotechnology, molecular biology, genetic engineering, and many other aspects. Among the different experimental techniques, inserting a microchip into the body to control the stress level or monitor heart rate has gained momentum.
Prevalence of chronic diseases, such as diabetes and cancer, is one major driving force that is triggering the market growth. As per the reports of the American Cancer Association, 13% of the population are often diagnosed with cancer before they cross age 20. The American Diabetic Association indicates that 9.3% of the entire population is suffering from diabetes. Such chronic diseases are always a burden on the country as they reduce productivity considerably. Early diagnosis is the only way out and is a belief that is triggering the biohacker market growth.
