MEDICAL TECHNOLOGY
The Jade Empire invests heavily in the medical industry and is home to several industry disruptors, including Unspoken Waters PLC. In the 2450s telomere editing technology revolutionised long-term healthcare, effectively enabling the Ingenious to halt natural aging. This, along with several other discoveries, greatly impacted the social, political and economic structure of the Jade Empire.
Elsewhere, medical kiosk droids are common in many households and community areas, and possess a variety of basic competencies including diagnosis, administration of anti-bacterial and anti-viral agents, respiratory and cardiopulmonary life-saving measures and dispensation of medical supplies. Drones are increasingly used to perform surgeries and provide medical care to patients in remote or sparsely populated locations.

GENE MODIFICATION
In late 2451 AT, scientists at Unspoken Waters PLC made a breakthrough in age-defying gene modification. By artificially promoting the regeneration of telomeres, genetic modifications can prevent the shortening of telomeres beyond the age of 30, keeping them at a steady kilobase number. This has resulted in an exponential population growth, bringing about a new wave of political and cultural issues. The increased population growth pushed the Jade Empire towards continued expansion to support the growing demand for land, resources and employment.
Gene modification elsewhere is widespread. Used to manipulate babies even in the womb, the increasing availability of widespread gene modification technologies including in vivo and germline editing have led to a drop-off in the occurrence of quality-of-life-affecting diseases and syndromes, as well as an overall increase in the physical health and attractiveness of the average Imperial. There is currently little regulation around gene modification.

TAMASHI NO CHOZOKO
The Tamashi-no-Chozoko, or 'Soul Vault', is a device inserted into a port in the neck of an individual designed to record the chemical and biological structure of it's their brain, as well as maintain an evolving map of the electrical and chemical signals transmitted by the brain. This data can then be transferred at regular intervals to long-term storage. In the event of the death of the wearer, assuming the Soul Vault is undamaged, it can then be transferred to a new physical body and merged with long-term data storage to replicate the mind and physiology of the user.
MEDICAL FACILITIES
Although many basic issues can be dealt with either at home through commercially available medical technologies, or by community-based private clinics with general medical practitioners, there is always a need for more comprehensive medical facilities. Hospitals in the Jade Empire are a free public service maintained at the expense of the local overlords, although many levy co-pays for non-essential medical services. Focus is placed on outpatient recovery and rehabilitation using a combination of remote monitoring, house visits and education for patients and family members.
MEDICAL DRONE TECHNOLOGY
Advances in miniaturization technology and microprocessor transmitters have made feasible the use of drones for remote care, including surgeries, diagnosis and treatment plan development, physiotherapy and more.
The most successful corporation in the medical drone industry is Xuannu Interactive, who partnered with IdaiTech to create a range of high-performance medical drones capable of performing even complex surgeries remotely via boosted combination HoloNet-AncNet signals. Their business model centers around using drone technology to provide support to local healthcare providers, offering advanced surgical, diagnostic and pharmacological intervention and expertise at a fraction of the cost of maintaining a full emergency ward and hospital facility.
Xuannu Interactive uses real, qualified Imperial physicians to curate the Xuannu drone library, remotely operate the drones during care and surgical operations, and provide consultations to patients. The corporation also employs dedicated medical RAIs who can control entire networks of Xuannu X-10 Medical Intervention Drones. Xuannu Interactive often opens offices in high-demand markets, offering affordable and reliable medical care for less fortunate communities, whilst drones can be dispatched via insertion pods to more remote locations.
The Xuannu X-10 is capable of performing even advanced surgeries, and can be deployed with a full suite of anaesthetic and medical supplies, as well as comprehensive software and disposable monitoring hardware to guide and support inexpensive long-term care by local healthcare providers. The company currently specialises in human and near-human mammalian biologies, and does not offer its services to non-humans, but expansions into non-human markets are being planned.
