Sorry to bother you Viktor, I was just wondering- have you ever tried to apply any use of hextech with medicine?
Do not apologize for bothering me with a work related question, that is the very point of this blog, despite that seemingly being missed by some.
The short answer to your query is no, not officially, at least. Our current Hextech projects are majorly dictated by our sponsors, and as such are lending themselves more to economical advancements and general refinement of the technology itself to increase its stability in high-stress environments.
The less concise answer is that, in a theoretical sense, yes.
Despite our current circumstances, our primary goal with Hextech is to improve lives. Ideally, this would mean one day placing Hextech into the hands of the people, which could potentially incorporate medicinal pathways. For legal reasons, everything I am about to speak on is entirely hypothetical.
The most achievable advance in the medical field I can currently see Hextech being incorporated into is prosthetics. Once we successfully create less volatile gemstones, they will be able to serve as 'power-sources' of sorts, and the arcane properties could allow for the prosthetic limbs to better replicate organic movement, or even create links with neurological pathways.
Additionally, it is certainly within reasonable possibility to create enhanced medical machinery and tools, as we have already been making headway into collaborations with industries such as mining. But, again, that relies fully on ensuring the crystals remain stable above all else. It would be rather inconvenient to have a machine explode in the process of an MRI.
While we haven't done an extensive amount of testing on Hextech's interactions with organic matter quite yet, I could see, by extension, potential applications of its regenerative properties in accelerating cell regrowth and tissue repair for certain injuries. We have found success in Hextech's aptitude in replicating/regenerating inorganic cell matter, so after further experimentation, it could certainly be on the horizon.
But, as always, progress in these areas is not exactly the main concern of certain people that we, begrudgingly, must abide by. Personally, it is this kind of work I'd rather put our full time into. However, as Jayce insists on reminding me, funding is a necessity.
