The U.S. has been extremely fertile musically, birthing several new musical genres which have become globally influential. I would say there are three main tributaries that came together to create the river of American music. The most important is of course the musical tradition of west Africa. The second is European art music -- you know, the stuff that ' s now ossified in Symphony Hall -- and the third the folk music of the British isles. Enslaved Afric...

Solving the Cybersecurity Gap in Healthcare IT Digital Transformation
The following is a guest article by Terry Young, Director, Service Provider Marketing at A10 Networks.
The COVID-19 pandemic intensified public awareness of their personal vulnerability when broadband service becomes unavailable or gets disrupted. This has also spurred massive government funding to close the broadband gap (the digital divide) and provide connectivity to unconnected or underserved communities.
But there is another gap that needs more attention, the “cybersecurity gap”. That is, the growing chasm between capabilities of cybercriminals against the inexperience of unserved communities and the resourc...

AI Device Monitors Breathing to Diagnose Parkinson ’s
Researchers at MIT have developed an AI system that can diagnose Parkinson’s disease and track its progression, simply by monitoring someone’s breathing patterns as they sleep. The device looks like an internet router and can be mounted on the wall in a bedroom. It emits radio waves and then a neural network analyzes the reflected waves to assess breathing patterns. Crucially, the technology may be able to assist in diagnosing Parkinson’s disease much earlier than many conventional techniques and it is highly convenient and non-invasive compared with traditional diagnostics. It may also be particularly beneficial in ...

Education and Communication as a Catalyst for Technology Adoption
Today at The Civitas Networks for Health 2022 Annual Conference, a Collaboration with the DirectTrust Summit, I was fascinated by a session that looked at the importance of education and communication for healthcare organizations when it comes to encouraging adoption of technology. For example, this has been an important effort by DirectTrust when it comes to educating users of how and when direct messaging could be used. I was interested to hear what this panel had to say about their experience.
