Smartwatch that can detect seizures has received highly coveted FDA approval
Detecting and managing epilepsy is of utmost importance in patients that suffer from it. The same goes for seizures, so in most cases, any potentially useful tips or equipment that can be used with one end up becoming recommended for the other. Soon, a smartwatch that uses advanced machine learning to tell when a user is […]

A.I. becoming a job threat to radiologists as research shows improved detection rates in X-rays
A new study suggests that it may only be a matter of time until the radiology profession is rendered entirely obsolete. Not by lack of skills or certifications, but by the rise of highly-trained and incredibly accurate artificial intelligence machines. The paper, which was put together by Stanford University researchers and published under the title, […]
