AliveCor Turns Mobile Devices Into Low-Cost Heart Monitors, Raises $3 Million AliveCor, developer of a low-budget electrocardiogram (ECG) recorder that works in conjunction with a variety of mobile platforms (including iPhone, iPad, and Android devices), has raised $3 million in Series A funding, the company announced this morning. The financing round was led by Burrill & Company along with Qualcomm, acting through its venture investment arm, Qualcomm Ventures, and the Oklahoma Life Science Fund. AliveCor’s credit card-sized wireless device is capable of turning iOS and Android smartphones and tablets into low-cost heart monitors that can be used by patients at home and by physicians and other healthcare providers in a clinical setting. See video below for a demo of the iPhone version. Note that the device isn’t for sale yet – AliveCor’s products haven’t yet been cleared as a medical device in the United States.
Canadian film-maker's bionic eye 20 September 2011Last updated at 01:52 By Neil Bowdler Health reporter, BBC News Rob Spence shows how his camera eye works Canadian documentary maker Rob Spence has always loved science fiction. So much so that when he lost his eye six years ago, he took inspiration from some of his heroes. "There are so many characters in pop culture and science fiction that have a camera eye that pretty much anyone who loses an eye at least makes a joke about getting a camera eye. "In my case, I just actually did it." Continue reading the main story “Start Quote The motivation to put a camera in my eye came partly from being an immature adult who wants to be like the Bionic Man” End QuoteRob SpenceDocumentary maker With the help of a former satellite company employee, he developed a camera which fits into his eye socket, and "eyeborg", as he calls himself, was born. Shooting accident The original damage to his right eye came from an accident when he was just nine years old. Bionic journey
online - IBM plant Massenfertigung von dreidimensionalen Prozessoren IBM will gemeinsam mit dem Technologiekonzern 3M einen neuen dreidimensionalen Prozessor mit 100 gestapelten Chips in die Massenfertigung bringen. IBM verspricht sich davon laut Mitteilung schnellere und energieeffizientere Rechner. Bislang werden die teuren Stapel-Prozessoren nur für Spezialanwendungen eingesetzt. Aufgrund der Wärmeentwicklung können mit den derzeitigen Klebstoffen aber nur bis zu zehn Ebenen übereinandergestapelt werden, ohne dass der Prozessor überhitzt und thermische Störeffekte die Rechenleistung beeinträchtigen. IBM will zudem den Fertigungsprozess erweitern. Um die Wärmeentwicklung aufgrund des Stapelns in den Griff zu bekommen, genügten aber nicht nur bessere Klebematerialien, gibt Eby Friedman, Professor für Elektrotechnik an der University of Rochester, zu bedenken.
HealthSpot | HealthSpot produces a telemedicine medical kiosk for remote medical care and retail clinics that may improve outcomes and care coordination while addressing readmissions, ED overuse, urgent care misuse and reducing expenses by enabling practi Struggle as hard as you can for whatever you believe in Kategorie Technik: PTV — BigBrotherAwards Laudator: Frank Rosengart The Big Brother Award 2007 in the “Technology” category goes to for their system for individual rating of car insurances with the so-called “pay-as-you-drive” technology, i.e. a device that records routes and driving behaviour in a car and transmits these data to the insurance company. The idea sounds alluring: You drive sensibly and carefully, and in return you pay less for your car insurance. Similar to the toll data collecting devices built into most German lorries, pay-as-you-drive works through satellite navigation and data transmission via mobile networks. The main concern lies with the centralised processing of the data. Ever since the introduction of road charges for freight vehicles in Germany, we know how lecherous some state authorities become when it comes to gaining access to the data of the control system and the on-board units in the lorries. In the United Kingdom, pay-as-you-drive systems are already being tested.
Health Tracking Gets More Up-Close And Personal With Tiny Blood Monitor Implant I thought it was impressive that Withings now offers an affordable home scale that tracks your body fat percentage and heart rate, but scientists have developed a tiny Bluetooth-capable blood monitoring device that resides comfortably under the skin, according to the BBC this morning. It’s likely to go into testing with intensive care patients soon, but it’s an example of how intense home health monitoring could get over the course of the next few years. The device was created by a team of Swiss medical scientists, and is designed to be installed (that really is the most appropriate term here) in a patient’s abdomen, leg or arm skin, using only a needle. It can last for months, and reports back information about blood glucose and cholesterol levels, so as you might imagine it would be extremely useful for patients with chronic conditions like diabetes who are used to having to draw blood on a much more regular basis.
Implanted chip 'allows blind people to detect objects' 3 November 2010Last updated at 00:49 By Neil Bowdler Science reporter, BBC News Miikka Terho is given the task of reading letters which together misspell his own name A man with an inherited form of blindness has been able to identify letters and a clock face using a pioneering implant, researchers say. Miikka Terho, 46, from Finland, was fitted with an experimental chip behind his retina in Germany. Success was also reported in other patients. The chip allows a patient to detect objects with their eyes, unlike a rival approach that uses an external camera. Details of the work are in the journal Proceedings of the Royal Society B. Professor Eberhart Zrenner, of Germany's University of Tuebingen, and colleagues at private company Retina Implant AG initially tested their sub-retinal chip on 11 people. Some noticed no improvement as their condition was too advanced to benefit from the implant, but a majority were able to pick out bright objects, Prof Zrenner told the BBC. Electrical impulses
