Healthcare Wearables Have Vast Untapped Potential
Wearables have immense potential to improve how we approach healthcare. But adoption of this technology has been moving at a snail’s pace. In this post, we’ll examine the current state of wearables, what’s holding them back, and possible developments we can expect to see soon. Where Wearables Stand Right Now There’s been no shortage of […]
Soon, Doctors Will Be Able to Track Your Health – Without Any Wearables
Dina Katabi is a renowned professor of electrical engineering and computer science at MIT in Boston. She’s built a box in her research lab that can live in your home; it tracks physiological signals while you move: breathing, gait, sleeping, heart rate, and much more. She hopes this box will become the non-invasive standard for measuring biological […]
AI and IoT Can Bring Huge Improvements to Cancer Treatment
The Internet of Things (IoT) is powerful on its own. But combine it with the potential that artificial intelligence (AI) brings to the table, and you’re in for a world of innovation. Healthcare is one such industry that will greatly benefit from IoT and AI teaming up for a greater cause. With the two technologies […]
AI Is Laying the Foundation for Tomorrow’s MedTech
Artificial intelligence (AI) will make its mark on every industry, sooner or later. Fortunately, we don’t have to wait to see it happen in MedTech development. AI’s promising potential for healthcare was recently lauded by the American Medical Association (AMA). The possibilities are endless and “in a way that outperforms what either can do alone,” […]
