Source: Torsten Dettlaff Healthcare is constantly evolving. One example of a major innovation shaping healthcare is biometrics, a biological measurement to help identify individuals through their biological characteristics using tools like fingerprinting, facial recognition, and retina scans. Together, these are referred to as biometric monitoring technologies (BioMeTs)1. BioMeTs generate data by monitoring physiological and behavioral …
Source: Pavel Danilyuk In recent years, due to the pandemic and other driving forces, the use of mental health services has increased dramatically. As a consequence, mental health services are facing a crisis of burnout and high staff turnover because of overwhelming demands. A question has surfaced about whether artificial intelligence could be used for …

This publication is in proud partnership with Project UNITY’s Catalyst Academy 2023 Summer Program. Source: George Prentzas Anytime we use our phones, we likely unlock them with our fingerprint or face ID. But rarely does anyone truly consider the technology behind these biometric identification tools and their infinite uses in many fields and everyday activities. …
Source: Nastya Dulhiier How do you treat bacterial infections without causing drug resistance? You might think that targeting the bacterial genes necessary for bacterial growth would be the most effective strategy. However, when you target genes that are essential for growth, bacteria are more likely to develop drug resistance. This is natural selection in action. …
