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,” […]
AI Is Entering the Sales Business
Artificial intelligence (AI) is divisive when it comes to interactions. Either it comes off as robotic and unhuman-like or eerily authentic to the point of discomfort. But by giving AI more of a human touch, Boston-based developer Talla just may have hit the sweet spot with its “next-generation knowledge base,” a descendant of the company’s first […]
MIT Is Developing AI to Track Sensors In Your Body
As big tech companies like Apple, Google, and Microsoft become more interested in medical technology applications, startups are undoubtedly facing some tough competition. But that’s not stopping researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). A team at MIT’s Computer Science Artificial Intelligence Lab (CSAIL) is using wireless radio signals and AI to interact with sensors inside the body. […]
Location, Location: One of IoT’s Greatest Obstacles
As the Internet of Things (IoT) develops and grows more connected, there will be an explosion of data points to track, analyze, and record. Naturally, this will bring issues in lack of hardware and software to adequately respond in real-time to situations. Location is the biggest issue for IoT right now. By itself, location data […]
MIT Made a New Wearable That Gives Your Thoughts a Voice
MedTech wearables are evolving, but the adoption by the general public has been slow. But a new device out of Boston-based MIT could change that. The wearable seemingly reads your internal voice and carries out computations, integrates with Roku, and more. Arnav Kapur led the team who developed the device, which is aptly dubbed “AlterEgo”. “Our […]
This New Wearable Scans Your Brain
When physicist Elena Boto tried out the University of Nottingham’s brain scanning wearable, she had to wear a conventional scanner alongside the new MedTech wearable. The research team had her perform several tasks, like bending and pointing her finder, drinking water, and bouncing a ball from a paddle. The conventional scanner was fixed in place, […]
