A new study has found that an at-home AI “foot-recognition” scanner may help prevent hospital admissions caused by heart failure. According to the National Institute for Health and Care Research, with contributions from researchers in Torbay, the device can identify oedema, a build-up of fluid in the feet and ankles. This swelling signals that heart […]

An optical principle identified over a century ago could soon be applied to areas like monitoring atmospheric turbulence, tracking objects in the air, and environmental mapping, according to researchers at the Georgia Tech Research Institute (GTRI). Using the Scheimpflug technique, the researchers are creating low-cost rangefinding cameras, advanced sensors, and computational methods to complement—and in
Scheimpflug cameras could extend LiDAR-like sensing from 6 m to 4 km Read More »
Have you ever imagined what gyms might look like in the future? If you think AI won’t transform fitness spaces, think again. The Abu Dhabi Department of Health has launched the “Gym of the Future,” redefining personalized fitness. Organizers unveiled this digital wellness concept on the opening day of Abu Dhabi Global Health Week on
The iPhone has long excelled at photography, but selfies still rely on the phone’s less powerful front camera. This newly spotted case fixes that by adding a second, mirror-like screen. The Selfix case for the iPhone 17 Pro and 17 Pro Max may look like a standard TPU cover, but its back actually features a

About 60% of workers in Canada are likely to see their jobs reshaped by artificial intelligence (AI). In many cases, AI will support and enhance their work rather than replace it. For some employees, it may even help prevent illness, injury, or death. This could take the form of a nurse wearing a sensor-embedded T-shirt
