What’s Holding Back the Always Connected Wearable Health Sensors We Need? | John Lynn | Healthcare IT Today May 26, 2021
“Anyone who’s had experienced with bluetooth (I think that’s everyone right?) knows the pains associated with bluetooth. When it works, it works great. However, when the device loses its pairing, it’s a mess. Plus, we all know how much fun it is to get various devices to pair in the first place.”

Bird-like robots could assist in medical emergencies and hunt down drones | Tech Xplore JUNE 1, 2021 / Robotics
by Gareth Willmer, Horizon: The EU Research & Innovation Magazine
A bird flaps its wings, glides using air currents and then smoothly descends to perch on a pole. But this is not just any bird, it’s a robot bird. And robots like these could in the next decade be used to respond to emergencies or to hunt down drones posing a threat to safety or security.
Medical AI models rely on ‘shortcuts’ that could lead to misdiagnosis of COVID-19 | Tech Xplore MAY 31, 2021 / Computer Sciences / Machine learning & AI
by University of Washington
“Artificial intelligence promises to be a powerful tool for improving the speed and accuracy of medical decision-making to improve patient outcomes. From diagnosing disease, to personalizing treatment, to predicting complications from surgery, AI could become as integral to patient care in the future as imaging and laboratory tests are today.”

Scientists discover a new genetic form of ALS in children | Medical Xpress MAY 31, 2021 / Genetics / Neuroscience
by National Institutes of Health
“In a study of 11 medical-mystery patients, an international team of researchers led by scientists at the National Institutes of Health and the Uniformed Services University (USU) discovered a new and unique form of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Unlike most cases of ALS, the disease began attacking these patients during childhood, worsened more slowly than usual, and was linked to a gene, called SPTLC1, that is part of the body’s fat production system. Preliminary results suggested that genetically silencing SPTLC1 activity would be an effective strategy for combating this type of ALS.”
NIH researchers discovered a new form of ALS that begins in childhood. The study linked the disease to a gene called SPLTC1. As part of the study, NIH senior scientist Carsten Bonnemann, M.D., (right) examined Claudia Digregorio (left), a patient from the Apulia region of Italy. Credit: NIH/NINDS.
