Growing Demand for Effective Drugs and Smart Devices Driving Biohacking

Biohacking also referred to as Do-It-Yourself (DIY) biology is a broad term that includes a wide range of activities. The range of activities includes performing various science experiments on yeast or any other organisms for tracking sleep patterns and diet to change its biology. Biohacking is one of the major revolutionary processes in the field of synthetic biology. It is performed by individuals called biohackers, who looks for the innovation and development of new techniques for enhancing different aspects of synthetic biology. They conduct lab experiments for exploring new possibilities in genetic engineering, biotechnology, and molecular biology. 

Biohacking manages one's biology with the help of electronic, medical, and nutritional techniques. For instance, biohackers insert microchips in the human body for monitoring heart rate and stress level. In addition to this, several revolutionary products such as brain sensors, magnetic fingers, smart drugs, RFID implants, health trackers, and body sensors are the outcome of biohacking. The tremendous potential of biohacking for tracking one’s biological performance is innovative and ever-growing making it more approachable for the current generation. In addition to this, it also helps to keep track of blood sugar levels, steps, and burning calories with the movement of the body, making it more demandable at present time.
