Brain Data in Context: Are New Rights the Way to Mental and Brain Privacy? (AJOB Neuroscience). From the Abstract:
The potential to collect brain data more directly, with higher resolution, and in greater amounts has heightened worries about mental and brain privacy … To better understand the privacy stakes of brain data, we suggest the use of a conceptual framework from information ethics, Helen Nissenbaum’s “contextual integrity” theory. To illustrate the importance of context, we examine neurotechnologies and the information flows th...

Semi-Automated Manufacture of E-Skin Sensors
Engineers at the Technical University of Munich in Germany have developed a system that allows them to semi automate the production of tactile sensors. Such sensors can provide robotic systems, such as robotic prostheses, with a sense of compression and tension with regard to the objects and surfaces they come in contact with. Most robotic systems have integrated sensors, but this design allows researchers to create sensors for a variety of arbitrary surfaces, and then just wrap them around the object they wish to imbue with a sense of touch. The system includes software that assists with designing the sensors, and the des...

I Want a Lazy Girl Job Too
BY KIM BELLARD
I came across a phrase the other day that is so evocative, so delicious, that I had to write about it: “lazy girl job,” or, as you might know it. @#lazygirljob.
Now, before anyone gets too offended, it’s not about labeling girls as lazy; it’s not really even about lazy or even only girls. It’s about wanting jobs with the proverbial work-life balance: jobs that pay decently, don’t require crazy hours, and give employees flexibility to manage the other parts of their lives. Author Eliza Van Cort told Bryan Robinson, writing in Forbes: “The phrasing ‘lazy girl job’ is less than ideal...

I Think This Would Be A Good Time To Rethink The Place And Role Of The AIDH.
The
departure a week or so ago of the previous substantive CEO of the AIDH (Dr
Louise Schaper) has provided an opportunity to some fundamentals of the Aust.
Institute Of Digital Health (AIDH) to be re-examined and questioned.
Among these
are:
Is change
needed to the structures and functions of the AIDH?
Should the
Academic functions and the Conference Organising functions be separated?

A Look at Hyland ’ s Approach to Healthcare RPA
One of the hottest topics in healthcare right now is RPA (Robotic Process Automation). We’re seeing it pop up everywhere and for good reason. Good RPA can automate the mundane tasks that are wasting your staff’s time. Plus, done right it can improve the quality of the output as well.
At the HIMSS conference, Hyland was doing demos of their RPA Solution and we wanted to learn more. In the video below, you’ll learn more from Ashley Ljubi, Sales Solution Engineer at Hyland, about healthcare RPA. Ljubi shares what RPA is and how it can be used to emulate a person. If a person can click it, RPA ca...

Still Here: My Experience with Repeating a Year of Medical School
On a hot and humid July afternoon, the white coat ceremony for the class of 2025 at the Florida International University Herbert Wertheim College of Medicine was in full swing. Not even the threat of a giant thunderstorm, which happens often during the summer in Miami, could dampen the excitement of 150 aspiring physicians and their families. I walked onstage, slipped on brand-new white coat, and accepted the coveted “medical student” title I had spent years working for. I thought about why I was embarking on this journey: my family of Vietnam War refugees, my brother who has autism, and my father who suddenly passed a...

Career Conversations: Q & A With Biomedical Engineer Elizabeth Wayne
Courtesy of Dr. Elizabeth Wayne.
“It’s so fun to try to make meaning from a confusing experimental result and talk to other scientists who are excited by the same questions you are,” says Elizabeth Wayne, Ph.D., an assistant professor of biomedical engineering and chemical engineering at Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. We talked to Dr. Wayne about her career trajectory, research on immune cells, and belief that scientists can change the world.

Striving to Make Culturally Safe Care The Norm
Healthcare currently places a significant burden on patients and clinicians. Patients must explain their situation repeatedly to strangers who only have a few minutes for them and hope that they believe them enough to help them navigate the healthcare system. Clinicians are working under extreme pressure, and without sufficient infrastructure support. Dr. Alika Lafontaine, the President of the Canadian Medical Association (CMA) is looking to change that and make culturally safe care the norm for all.
Healthcare IT Today had the opportunity to catch up with Dr. Lafontaine at the 2023 Collision Conference held in Toronto. We...

In conclusion, the longevity-associated genotype of FLT1 may confer increased lifespan by protecting against mortality risk posed by hypertension. We suggest that FLT1 expression in individuals with longevity genotype boosts vascular endothelial resilience mechanisms to counteract hypertension-related stress in vital organs and tissues.
