Capsule Tech Acquires Bernoulli Health: Analysis
On April 30, 2019, Capsule Tech announced that it is acquiring Bernoulli Health for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition combines two market leaders in the medical IoT, IoMT, biomedical medical device integration (BMDI), medical device data system (MDDS), medical device connectivity, or whatever you call this market.
Medical devices are by far the greatest source of data in health care. For many years the vast majority of medical device data simply scrolled off the screen, never reaching clinicians for analysis and alerting. Capturing this data and using it to better diagnose, treat and monitor patients is finally t...

How to Get Started Doing That Thing You Really Don ’t Want to Do (But Have to!)
You need to fill out paperwork. You need to clean out the garage. You need to pay the bills. You need to start a really challenging project that you’ve been putting off for months. You need to do some other dreaded task that you really don’t want to do but must be done.
And yet, instead of tackling that task, you’re scrolling social media, looking at photos of strangers or people you didn’t like in high school. You’re watching cute videos of cats (or dogs). You’re texting memes back and forth to your friends.
It’s so bad that you’re actually cleaning the kitchen, or scrubbing the toilet, or washing the dish...

Combining Radiology & Physics in a Single Photograph
"The recent photograph of a black hole captured using various telescopes, complicated algorithms and data from NASA ’s Chandra X-Ray Observatory, I was intrigued that how X-rays can be used to see inside our bodies as well as to visualize celestial marvels. This made me think that how sometimes the things which we don ’t know yet or the things which came into notice accidentally can help unravel so many more mysteries in the future. So, I thought of combining the two most iconic pictures in radiology and physics."Submitted by Aditya Saini, medical student from AIIMS Raipur.Famous Radiology Blog http://www.sumerdo...

Surveyor Health demystifies clinical pharmacy
By MATTHEW HOLT
In some interesting news this week, Inland Empire Health plan (IEHP), a major Medicaid health insurer in southern California with about 1.2 million members, and its contractor Preveon Health announced that they were “extending a pilot” with Surveyor Health, for their MedRiskMaps product.
This is interesting for a bunch of reasons. First it’s a good example of how technology is now being applied to help with the almost absurd complexity of modern medicine–complexity that technology has both added to and may yet cure. Secondly, Surveyor Health has been building its technology for several yea...

Proposing Physical, Neurological Explanations for Age-Related Differences in the Perception of the Passage of Time
Why does the perception of the passage of time change with age? Having glanced through the short paper referenced in these publicity materials, it has the look of another of the many airy theories on the operation of the mind that must wait around for however long it takes for neuroscience to advance to the point of being able to say anything sensible about how perceived experience relates to physical structure and cellular biology. Still, one has to start somewhere. Final answers and understanding must be preceded by theories that prompt lines of investigation. That theorizing will start out entirely unsupported, and only...

Trivial question gets you thinking about deep answers
@EstOdek on Twitter asked her followers a simple-seeming question
What did you want to be when you were a kid? And what are you now?
Her answer to kickstart the thread:
I wanted to be a professional rugby player or boxer. I’m now an antibody selections scientist
Well, I was born just before the Moon landings era and grew up reading every single science book I could find in the library from the space books to the dinosaurs and the sharks and whales. There was a series of novels about a team or marine biologists following the submarine passion for sharks, whales, and all the creatures of the sea. And, inspired as an 8-year...

The crop sensor magnification myth
I’ve just been watching a video that was downloadable from a link in a practical photography magazine. There was a professional photographer discussing zoom lenses and how they work on different types of camera and their pros and cons for photographing birds and other wildlife. He kept talking about “reach”. The idea that if you put the same zoom lens on a full-frame camera (one with a sensor the size of an old 35mm type film camera) then your zoom is the equivalent of what it says on the dial. A 400mm zoom means a 400mm zoom on a full-frame camera. But, put the same lens on a camera with a smaller sensor...

Physicists Demonstrate That We Don ’ t Have a Shared Objective Reality
A real experiment based on a previous thought experiment from Nobel Prize winning physicist Eugene Wigner was recently performed. The result demonstrated that we don’t live in a single common objective reality that we all observe the same way. The experimenters observed two different but conflicting realities from a 6-photon experiment.Read about the experiment from MIT Technology Review here:A quantum experiment suggests there’s no such thing as objective realityAnd you can read the abstract and download the PDF report of this experiment from a Cornell University website here:Experimental rejection of observer-ind...
