The mental state and ability of seniors can be measured by a groundbreaking new test involving music - and it may have opened up a new way to identify cognitive decline. A music test, run by scientists at Tel Aviv University is a way of measuring a subject’s electrical activity, and with routine monitoring, can [...]
Scientists have published a new, peer-reviewed article that supports alternative approaches for Alzheimer’s disease - and counteracts claims by “potentially doctored” images. The new publication in Molecular Psychiatry comes just weeks after an investigation uncovered possible tampering and the falsification of images which could damage long-held beliefs about the causes of Alzheimer’s - including Genuv’s [...]
TED Talks speaker and clinical psychologist Dr Newman speaks to Health Tech World about the importance of AI in healthcare - and how what we call it matters more than you might think... When you think of artificial intelligence, what’s the first thing that comes to mind? If it’s a robot with arms and legs, [...]
A trusted theory about what causes Alzheimer’s disease could have come from “falsified” and “shockingly blatant” image tampering - casting major doubts on a defining paper, it has emerged. An investigation by Science reveals how a 2006 study, published in Nature, has influenced 16 years of clinical trials into Alzheimer's Disease. It had been connected [...]
Patients are 20% less likely to die of sepsis because of a groundbreaking new AI system which can catch symptoms hours earlier than traditional methods, a study has revealed. Bayesian Health and John Hopkins University announced the innovative results which, for the first time ever, associate lives saved with a clinically-deployed AI platform. Where earlier [...]
The quality and costs of healthcare systems around the globe has been revealed in a new report looking at 33 of the world’s most developed countries. As reported by Health Tech World, the NHS is rolling out tech solutions to help cope with record demand and massive shortages of staff and beds. But how does [...]
An inspiring young scientist who invented a tech solution to transform COVID-19 testing has received special recognition from a senior royal. Eloise Wells, molecular geneticist and analyst at the Wellcome Sanger Institute, created a special program to locate positive COVID-19 samples amongst the tens of thousands of swab extracts received daily, amid the first waves [...]
A team of researchers have developed a simple, yet effective approach for on-demand tactile sensing in keyhole surgery, overcoming a key limitation – the inability of surgeons to 'feel' tissues during an operation. They successfully tested the efficacy of their new tool, which uses off-the-shelf sensors integrated into a laparoscopic grasper. The team from the NYU Abu [...]
Researchers have created artificial Hox genes - which plan and direct where cells go to develop tissues or organs - using new synthetic DNA technology and genomic engineering in stem cells. The New York University findings, published in Science, confirm how clusters of Hox genes help cells to learn and remember where they are in the [...]
