State of the art technology is widely used in health care and exercise sciences. The use of such technology is based on availability and mainly by cost. Current devices are light, small and portable to allow health care practitioners provide accurate diagnostic tools for effective patient treatment. Software and apps such as video games for health are embedded in cell phones and tables, making them available to everyone. Knowledge and use of these devices is not limited to the highly skilled technicians, but rather to patients and common people of all ages. Miniaturization and nanotechnology allow exploring the human body and to collect data in real time. Microrobots seem to integrate technology, miniaturization and nanotechnology; therefore, these particles will extender their applications to health care and other fields like sports. These technologies are used in combating not only diseases such as cancer, but also in sports and exercise science research to provide athletes and staff with the latest instrumentation to achieve the best performance. New materials and devices will also help athletes recovering from injuries and return to play sooner. Next technological developments will include positive key features such as portability, miniaturization, automatization, and power sustainability. They are also challenged to overcome negative features like ethics, high cost, and access to the population.

Keywords—Health care, exercise science, nanotechnology, miniaturization, portability.
