Trials of a prototype robot for sports therapy have just begun in Singapore, to create a high quality and repeatable treatment routine to improve sports recovery, reducing reliance on trained therapists.
In its first test among orthopedic surgery patients as a feasible tool for enhancing care and reducing surgical site infections (SSIs), an automated text and voice messaging system improved communication about the preventive steps patients should take a week prior to their operations and the early signs of infection they need to report in the two weeks afterward.
A team of scientists has developed a model that can predict bat species most likely to transmit Ebola and other filoviruses. Findings highlight new potential hosts and geographic hotspots worthy of surveillance. So reports a new paper in the journal PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases.
Today’s robots are awkward co-workers because they are often unable to predict what humans need. In hospitals, robots are employed to perform simple tasks such as delivering supplies and medications, but they have to be explicitly told what to do.
As hospitals across the nation and around the world look for new and innovative ways to battle bacteria and eliminate multi-drug resistant organisms that can cause Hospital Acquired Infections (HAIs), Camden Clark Medical Center has again committed to improving patient care with its purchase of a second high tech Xenex Germ-Zapping Robot™.
Using a wearable neuromuscular device can reduce the risk of ACL injury in female soccer athletes, according to new research presented today at the American Orthopaedic Society for Sports Medicine's (AOSSM) Annual Meeting in Colorado Springs, CO. The study showed functional improvements in athletes who used the devices in combination with a regular training program.
In an effort to apply data-driven insights to one of the most fundamental aspects of running a health care system, UPMC announced today that it has formed Pensiamo, an independent company that aims to help hospitals improve supply chain performance through a comprehensive source-to-pay offering, including cognitive analytics with IBM Watson Health technologies. IBM is a minority owner of Pensiamo.
Swisslog, a leading supplier of solutions for medication and supply chain management in healthcare, reveals their Network Operations Center (NOC) for TransLogic® Pneumatic Tube Systems (PTS) and showcases the Nexus™ Station at American Society for Healthcare Engineering (ASHE) Annual Conference and Technical Exhibition in Denver next week.
Light-powered molecular motors have been created by scientists from Hokkaido University. The motors bend and unbend repeatedly, and could lead to the development of molecular robots.
Machine learning refers to one specific kind of artificial intelligence that enables computer programs to learn when exposed to fresh data without being programmed. Researchers in The Netherlands have recently incorporated machine learning methods in a unique MRI technique that is capable of measuring the tissue absorption rate, or perfusion, of blood all over the brain to identify early forms of dementia like mild cognitive impairment (MCI), Radiology.
