Connected Health Research Advances During Pandemic

Image
The need for remote care amid COVID-19 has re-emphasized the importance and use of remote monitoring for patient care. The COVID-19 pandemic presented challenges and opportunities for health networks seeking to maintain care despite the stress on hospital resources and the need to maintain physical distance. The healthcare industry has seen a widespread shift towards telehealth, accompanied by growing investment in capacity that enables remote monitoring of patient symptoms. As a general phenomenon, medical networks across America have made significant strides in research into the use of wearable devices to improve health outcomes. At the GovernmentCIO Media & Research Military Health Summit Thursday, government and private sector officials discussed how their organizations have driven these advances in connected care. Much of this has depended on building existing networked care capacity, using the pandemic crisis as an opportunity to invest in the need for response measur

How Predictive Modeling in Healthcare Boosts Patient Care

Image
What is predictive modeling and why is it critical? Research firm Deloitte offers a simple definition: "Predictive analytics can be described as a branch of advanced analytics that is used to make predictions about unknown future events or activities that lead to decisions." In contrast to prescriptive analysis, which uses datasets to streamline existing processes and improve operational performance, predictive frameworks use machine learning and artificial intelligence models to identify correlations between disparate data sources and provide actionable recommendations. As Phan says, the predictive power of data analysis is particularly important in medicine. "Medical treatment is an art," he says. “While science is behind it, decision making is an art. An AI-driven model can help support decisions for doctors - and not just the model itself, but also the sensors and devices that can be used to collect medical data.

Here's how engaging in household chores may improve brain health

Image
Chores done can be beneficial for brain health in older adults, according to a new study. The study found that older adults who spent more time doing household chores had larger brain sizes, which is a powerful predictor of cognitive health. The results of the study were published in the journal BMC Geriatrics. "Scientists already know that exercise has a positive effect on the brain, but our study is the first to show that housework can do the same," said Noah Koblinsky, lead author, exercise physiologist and project coordinator at Baycrest's Rotman Research Institute (RRI). Koblinsky added, "Understanding how different forms of physical activity contribute to brain health is critical to developing strategies to reduce the risk of cognitive decline and dementia in older adults." In this study, researchers examined the relationships between household chores, brain volume, and cognition in a group of 66 cognitively healthy older adults living in the communit

PICTURE: Gas sensor view More Image credit: POSTECH Gas accidents such as toxic gas leaks in factories, carbon monoxide leaks from boilers, or the asphyxiation of toxic gases while cleaning manholes continue to claim lives and cause injuries. The development of a sensor that can quickly detect toxic gases or biochemicals remains a major issue in the public health, environmental surveillance, and military sectors. Recently, a research team at POSTECH developed an inexpensive, ultra-compact portable hologram sensor that instantly notifies the user of the detection of volatile gases. A joint research team led by Professor Junsuk Rho from the Department of Mechanical and Chemical Engineering and Dr. Inki Kim from the Department of Mechanical Engineering with Professor Young-Ki Kim and Ph.D. Candidate Won-Sik Kim from the Department of Chemical Engineering at POSTECH has integrated the metasurface with the gas-reactive liquid crystal optical modulat

The Analog Origins of the Apple Watch's Digital Crown

Welcome to more details , a recurring column in which we examine what purpose an often overlooked product element actually serves. This week: the digital crown of the Apple Watch. The Apple Watch is not just a miniaturized phone or tablet on a bracelet. It's an advancement of "smart" technology, yes, and the company's design DNA is obvious - but it also builds on centuries of traditional watchmaking, more than most people believe. The rectangle with rounded corners is a well-known Apple product profile. However, the silhouette of the Apple Watch differs from that of other devices in one essential feature: a protruding button on the right side. If you've used an Apple Watch, you know how intuitive this digital crown is: its dual role as a button and a dial makes it perform a number of functions in conjunction with the touchscreen - and another smaller side button - to help you control clock. Pressing the button wakes the watch, returns you to your

Reduce risk of severe COVID-19 with regular activity, study says. Here's how to get in 22 minutes of exercise daily

Image
NEW YORK (CNN) - A history of constant activity is strongly linked to a decreased risk of severe COVID-19, according to a new study released Tuesday. The Kaiser Permanente study, published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine, looked at nearly 50,000 adults with COVID-19. The study found that those who met the goal of the U.S. Department of Health's guidelines for physical activity - of at least 150 minutes per week of moderate to vigorous physical activity - had significantly lower incidences of hospitalizations, ICU admissions, and deaths due to Covid19 disease. The guidelines, which are in line with the guidelines of many World Health Organization organizations, are based on research that supports the ability of physical activity to boost immune function, reduce systemic inflammation, improve pulmonary and cardiovascular health, and improve mental health . With all of the benefits of regular exercise, it's not surprising that physical activity that follows these guid
