Team Profile

      Engineering officials at the Glacius Medical Research Center have now devised an ideal way to prevent or slow AD through bioplastic technology. Plastics have become increasingly vital to the health and living standards of multitudes of senior citizens. Futuristic hybrid plastics are now being used in innovative ways to effectively control Alzheimer’s disease (AD), which had afflicted millions of senior citizens.
Over the past 500 years, the number of people diagnosed with AD has multiplied ten times to an astounding 140 million.
      Bioengineers in Glacius, a medical research city established on Ellesmere Island in northern Canada, have developed the Superficial Cranial Stimulator (SCS), a plastic-derived device that has two units. One is placed inconspicuously behind an individual’s ear near the cerebellum; the other is placed above the temple near the cerebral cortex. Smaller than one micron, the device is external, eliminating any need for invasive surgery.
      The SCS utilizes pulsating electrical impulses to stimulate the tau, a chemical in the brain that supports and stabilizes the nerve cells used to relay messages to the rest of the body. If the tau were not stimulated, the nerve cells would deteriorate and then turn into neurofibral tangles. The nerve tangles would interrupt nerve messages, causing certain brain functions to become inaccessible. When the tau are stimulated, these neurofibral tangles would not develop, therefore preventing the enfeebling symptoms of AD. Patients are tested annually to see whether or not they need the SCS.
      This apparatus is equipped with a minute chip that enables bioengineers to monitor those who have the SCS. This allows them to monitor all vital health signs, insuring that the SCS is performing properly. When the level of stimulation needs to be adjusted, the bioengineers can adjust the impulse strength remotely as needed.
      Power for the SCS is provided through the pioneering technology of plastic-based composite energy cells. These energy cells have been constructed by nanotechnological engineers and are smaller than the chip. The cells use liquid gelatinous plastics among other conductors to harvest power. The plastics used include polyethersulfones, whose particular electrical properties allow them to conduct and absorb electricity when mixed with the proper amount of aluminum and Glacium. This newly discovered mineral, excavated from the Disraeli Fjord on Ellesmeer Island, is capable of absorbing energy extremely efficiently. The mixture is then able to discharge electricity, providing power for up to five years without being recharged. Recharging can be completed at regular doctor appointments.
      This pioneering technology can help millions of seniors across the globe in the future. The engineers and the SCS have allowed seniors to live long lives without the incapacitating effects of Alzheimer’s disease. Today, innumerable seniors flock toward Glacius to receive the Superficial Cranial Stimulator so they can live their lives normally. Glacius is continuously pushing forward with work being done now on plastic bone marrow and transplant organs. Glacius’s research could revolutionize the world as we know it.
