Ambient Intelligence And Emotion AI In Healthcare
Ambient Intelligence and Emotion AI are two, somewhat related concepts, and both have the potential to significantly improve future healthcare in many areas, such as addressing capacity issues and preventing staff burnout, improving patient outcomes and supporting the autonomous living of the elderly.
Let’s see what these terms mean and what their practical applications will be.
Ambient intelligence means – in laymen’s terms – a technology-supported environment that is sensitive and responsive to human presence with the technology part remaining as close to invisible as possible.

Fight Aging! Newsletter, December 26th 2022
This article on senolytic therapies to selectively remove senescent cells in old tissues is in part a matter of Unity Biotechnology talking up their position. The company suffered from first mover disadvantage in bringing senolytic drugs into clinical development. The field has made progress very rapidly over the last decade, and startups founded even just a couple of years after Unity's launch benefited from greater knowledge and a selection of better technologies to work with. Still, one can be talking up one's position and also be right. The accumulation of senescent cells is profoundly harmful, a significant contributi...

Netflix for Drugs?
By KIM BELLARD
A relative — obviously overestimating my healthcare expertise — asked my thoughts on The New York Times article Can a Federally Funded ‘Netflix Model’ Fix the Broken Market for Antibiotics? I had previously skimmed the article and was vaguely aware of the Pasteur Act that it discusses, but, honestly, my immediate reaction to the article was, gosh, that may not be a great analogy: do people realize what a tough year Netflix has had?

Somatic Mosaicism in the Aging Brain
Somatic mosaicism is the result of the random mutational damage that occurs to stem cells and progenitor cells, leading to a spread of different mutation patterns throughout the descendant cells making up a tissue. It is thought to be involved in aging, a way for random mutation, different in every cell, to lead to specific dysfunctions occurring throughout a tissue, and potentially prime a tissue for a later combination of mutations that gives rise to cancer. This commentary on recent research discusses somatic mosaicism in the brain, intending to see whether there were differences in neurological disease states, but the ...

How Smart Technology is Improving Quality of Life for People with Cognitive Disabilities
Remote patient monitoring often deals with averting crises: for instance, the familiar fall alert devices you see advertised on TV. Many people with autism, Down syndrome, cerebral palsy, or other conditions that involve intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDDs) can end up in crisis because their stress goes unnoticed until they are no longer able to cope. A platform from Awake Labs can help people with cognitive disabilities monitor and manage stress.
Wearable devices have been able to measure feelings for several years. The platform from Awake Labs is unobtrusive since it uses the fitness devices worn by so many...

The Top 10 Digital Health Stories Of 2022
Edging towards the end of the year, it is time for a summary of how digital health progressed in 2022.
