Could you measure happiness with technology?

Can we now analyze,measure happiness with technology more so with nanotechnology?


Yes with the reasearch work of Yoshinobu Baba, a professor of chemistry at Nagoya University and a director for nanobiotechnology research at the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology in Japan.His work is on how Nanobiotechnology could be used as a measure of happiness, stress levels and health.


He says that we can measure the stages of cancer or diabetes, since genomic research tells us which genes are related to which diseases. But we need to analyse proteomics and glycomics in more detail. The next stage is to measure the function of the brain, looking at happiness and stress.
