The study of the interaction between microbes and the human body is not 3-d printing or SDCs. Scientific fields of research feature their share of hype, but they don't run through product cycles like tech companies deal with. This is due to a number of factors including different standards for objectivity, transparency, financial interests, and at the heart of it: we are much more likely to devoutly wish for medical breakthroughs in cancer or Alzheimer's, whereas there are relatively very few people praying for Google Glass or VR, save those trying to induce demand for such products. So, the hype cycle for tech products is not really as useful in the study of microbes in the human body.
