1. A method for operation of a medical device for diagnostics, analysis and therapeutics for treatment of disease, comprising:

  • a set of layers of medical device components, a set of compartments for storage of chemicals and biologicals, a set of microfluidic components, including tubes, valves and gates, circuitry configured to control and connect device components, a lab-on-a-chip (LOC) component in a diagnostic module, an analytical module, including a database, for pathology modeling and therapeutic solution modeling and a therapeutic module comprised of a set of compartments, the method comprising;

    connecting the diagnostic, analytical and therapeutic modules with electrical interconnects;

    activating the diagnostics process of obtaining cell, DNA, RNA and/or protein samples from the patient;

    analyzing the cell, DNA, RNA and/or protein samples in the LOC of the diagnostic module;

    forwarding the LOC analysis data to the analytical module for modeling of the pathology;

    generating remedial solution options from the model in the analytical module;

    forwarding solution options for therapeutic recommendations;

    configuring the therapeutic module to release specific chemicals and/or biologicals from compartments on at least one of a set of layers through the micro fluidic components in specific measured doses according to the model recommendations;

    activating the therapeutic module to combine chemicals and/or biologicals; and

    configuring the therapeutic module to transmit the combination of chemicals and/or biologicals to a cell site in a patient to treat disorders.
