Electronic Health Records (EHR): How to Achieve Healthcare Data Accuracy with Artificial Intelligence
The following is a guest article by Ann Krutsko, Healthcare IT Researcher at ScienceSoft
In healthcare, working with inaccurate patient data is a dangerous game. Electronic Health Records (EHRs) were designed to streamline operations and improve coordination across healthcare systems. And while EHRs have largely benefited the organizations that have adopted them, data accuracy is still a point of concern. Data entry is still fraught with human error. However, innovations in the field in the way of artificial intelligence integrations are making significant strides in enhancing data quality in EHRs. From data validation to ...

“We Are Electric” by Sally Adee: Medgadget Interviews the Author
The human body has a deep connection with electricity. The transmission of electrical impulses is responsible for the movement of our limbs, the functioning of our organs, and the formation and recall of memories. The signatures of the various electrical signals emanating from our body can be telltale signs of our health, and a jolt of electricity can literally bring us back from the brink of death.
But while these things have long been known about the electricity constantly coursing through our bodies, what has more recently been discovered is the role that “bioelectricity” plays in the formation of our bod...

AR Headset Helps Surgeons Place Implants: Interview with Louie Vogt of Enovis Surgical
Enovis, a medtech company based in Delaware formerly known as DJO, recently announced the launch of ARVIS (Augmented Reality Visualization and Information System), an augmented reality technology that is designed to assist surgeons during implant placement in the hip and knee. The hands-free technology consists of an eyepiece that is mounted on a surgical helmet that provides the surgeon with real-time information about the position of an implant with respect to patient anatomy.
It can be difficult for a surgeon to accurately track patient anatomy obscured by a variety of obstacles, such as sterile drapes. The aim behin...

The Future Of Vision And Eye Care
3D printed digital contact lenses, bionic eye implants, augmented reality: the future of vision and eye care is full of science fiction-sounding innovations. Here is where digital health will take ophthalmology in the future!
More than 80 percent of perception comes through vision
Researchers estimate that 80-85 percent of our perception, learning, cognition, and activities are mediated through vision. Compared to that, our hearing only processes 11 percent of information, while smell 3.5 percent, touch 1.5 percent and taste 1 percent. Don’t you think that’s possible? Renowned scholars, L.D. Ros...

Fight Aging! Newsletter, March 14th 2022
This study tests the feasibility of chronically elevating skeletal muscle NAD+ in mice and investigates the putative effects on mitochondrial respiratory capacity, insulin sensitivity, and gene expression. The metabolic effects of NR and PT treatment were modest. We conclude that the chronic elevation of skeletal muscle NAD+ by the intravenous injection of NR is possible but does not affect muscle respiratory capacity or insulin sensitivity in either sedentary or physically active mice. Our data have implications for NAD+ precursor supplementation regimens.

Mycobacterium Vaccae Immunization as an Anti-Inflammatory Strategy
https://www.fightaging.org/archives/2022/02/mycobacterium-vaccae-immunization-as-an-anti-inflammatory-strategy/
In today's open access paper, researchers discuss immunization with Mycobacterium vaccae as an approach to reduce the inflammatory overactivity of the aged immune system. Researchers have made some initial inroads into studying the way in which this bacteria can alter the function of the immune system, and her...

Wireless Brain Implant to Give Sight to Blind
Scientists in Australia are gearing up for clinical trials of a brain implant that may restore limited sight in blind people. Developed at Monash University in Melbourne, the Gennaris system involves bypassing the eye completely and targeting the vision center of the brain.
A person would wear a pair of glasses outfitted with a camera that, via a computer, feeds what it is seeing to the brain implant. The wireless implant is positioned on the surface of the brain and it can generate 172 different bright spots that the person can see. By properly producing these so-called phosphenes, it should be possible to provide ...

Faces And Friendliness: The Week ’s Best Psychology Links
Our weekly round-up of the best psychology coverage from elsewhere on the web
A new study adds to the “nature vs nurture” debate about the fusiform face area, a region of the brain specialised for processing faces, reports Neuroskeptic at Discover Magazine. Researchers found that both blind and sighted people show activation of this area when touching models of faces, suggesting that visual experience, at least, isn’t necessary for the area to become specialised.
Humans have prospered as a species because of our “friendliness”, such as our tendency to perform acts of kindness towards other members o...

Handheld Retinal Camera As An Eye For Innovation – D-EYE Review
Sure, if something’s portable, easy to use and helps patients and doctors alike, it definitely ticks all our boxes. Does that mean we are going to test it though? Who are we kidding, of course it does! Join us on our journey to learn about the present and future of ophthalmology – and to get to know D-EYE, a new handheld digital retinal camera.
Ophthalmology can really profit from telemedicine. Recognising its potential, tech companies started targeting this medical sector, producing more and more interesting apps and devices. So, naturally, we’ve kept our eyes on ophthalmology for the past couple of years.

Our weekly round-up of the best psychology coverage from elsewhere on the web
An MIT professor gave his students Fitbits to find out how exercise affected their academic performance — but instead stumbled upon some interesting insights into sleep, Jamie Ducharme at Time reports. Students who stuck to a consistent sleep pattern throughout the week seemed to do better in class, the team found, while differences in sleep quality between men and women could explain why female students were getting higher grades.

The Lunate That Died
Everyone who works with me knows that I love joint radiographs, and the wrist is my favorite. It was no surprise when I came on shift that someone exclaimed, "I have an x-ray for you. I bet you will know exactly what it is! This 30-ish-year-old lady came in with atraumatic wrist pain."I did know exactly what it was. My eyes were drawn to the lucent lunate target. The patient was still in the ED, so I went to examine her hand. She had increased pain when I walked my fingers proximally down the metacarpal, which dipped into the carpal space. She was also not a fan of volar flexion or dorsiflexion. It made sense....

From Human To Cyborg: Are You Willing To Augment Your Body?
What if you could have a heat-map vision to search
through an abandoned terrain? What if you could filter out unpleasant odors of
urban decay every now and then? Can you imagine hearing ultrasounds better than
bats? And what about lifting 20 tons or having a third, bionic arm? With the
rapid advancement of technologies, the future of healthcare might not just be
about being healthy, but even augmenting our bodies and “upgrading” ourselves.

Digital Health Trends: What To Expect In 2019?
Discussions about a global FDA
In recent years, with the digitization of healthcare and the spread of communication technologies, the idea of borderless health started to emerge, and we expect it to reach a tipping point and represent a widespread practice instead of a sporadic phenomenon soon.
The Medical Futurist expects to see the increase in the supply and demand of cross-border health services in the coming months. Just imagine a French patient sending a tissue of his tumor to a Belgian company specializing in precision diagnostics. They establish that a Swiss pharma company has the exact type of clinical trial that t...
