Background: The discipline of medicine is developing rapidly. It has come to the era of robotics or may be humanoids operating on humans and the medical professionals will be satisfied by commanding or supervising them. The situation with regard to Forensic Medicine in comparison- to other branches of medicine needs review. The authors strongly believe that it is high time that modem technology should infiltrate the field of Forensic Medicine in all spheres. Methods: There are two prototypes designed based on service requirements. The first one is called the 'Sexual Assault Forensic Examination (SAFE) Spectacles'. This could be used as a substitute where the facilities for a colposcope is not available. The second protype is a battery operated scanner which could be used duringan autopsy to detect metallic particles and similarly to detect narcotic substances in body packers.Conclusion: It is imperative when science advances the field of Forensic Medicine also match up with that momentum.; New techniques and devices would make theforensic work less complicated and more scientific.
