How AI Is Changing Healthcare for the Better
Machine learning is going to change every industry. Want to know how it will affect yours and how you can start using it? Download our Free Machine Learning Whitepaper right now! Healthcare is currently slowly declining in efficiency. But introducing artificial intelligence (AI), a largely machine-based technology, may surprisingly turn health care back into a personal experience […]
The AI Will See You Now: How Chatbots and Machine Learning Are Changing Doctor Visits
Artificial intelligence (AI) is revamping warehouse operations, how recruiters use LinkedIn, and what songs get recommended to you on Spotify. And now, it’s also paying a visit to the doctor. Several startups and medical app developers see a future where your doctor has less paperwork, you visit the clinic less, and receiving medical advice takes much less […]
This Small Stick-On Stamp Can Collect Biometric Data Without the Bulky Equipment
Medical technology is improving by decreasing in cost, invasiveness, and size. But a new blood pressure-measuring patch may blow everything else out of the water. Intended to replace blood pressure cuffs, the postage stamp-sized patch continuously tracks the patient’s central blood pressure. This device not only has the potential to help users get more in […]
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 […]
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. […]
This New 3D X-Ray Scanner Can Spot Deadly Diseases Without Surgery
Across the world from our Los Angeles studio, New Zealand researchers have developed MedTech that maps a 3D image of x-ray scans. Most of us are used to seeing x-rays in greyscale. Taking inspiration from the Large Hadron Collider (the famous European particle accelerator facility), this technology adds color into the mix. And it could change how doctors […]
Dogtown Media Supports FCC’s Connected Care Pilot Program
MedTech and mHealth development have demonstrated their merit through many avenues already. But to expand these innovations from the tech hubs, like San Francisco, where they’re created, to the rural U.S. heartland, where they’re needed, the most requires an effort from all. Together with ACT | The App Association’s Connected Health Initiative (CHI), Dogtown Media is […]
The Future of MedTech Is Female
The future of MedTech development determines the future of humanity’s health and well-being. It may sound grandiose, but it’s absolutely true. That’s why it’s so important that we get it right. In a new article for STAT, health tech pioneer Melissa Burstein discusses the current lack of female leadership in the industry. It’s a problem […]
A New CRISPR Kit and Mobile App Can Find out What Ails You
CRISPR is a medical technology used to manipulate and change DNA, an activity also known as genome editing. The technology is the basis for what Mammoth Biosciences does; the San Francisco-based developer created a CRISPR kit and mobile app to help track down what might be the underlying cause of your digestion problems, for example. CEO […]
