The European Health Data Space (EHDS) proposes to legally compel hospitals or physicians to hand out your medical records to a newly created government agency, which in turn, can allow access to anyone who claims a research interest. That includes not only academics but also pharmaceutical companies, wellness app startups and even data harvesting Big Tech corporations like Google and Facebook.

A new project called Progression Assessment in Neurodegenerative Disorders of Aging (PANDA) aims to detect subtle changes in a person's sleep patterns that may indicate the onset of Alzheimer's or Parkinson's disease. The project has received funding by Innovation Fund Denmark of DKK 15 million to develop and test a small earbud-like experimental device that can detect the early signs of these diseases.

Nerve damage is a recognised side effect of some CAR-T therapies for cancer, and one that could be spotted early using a pen device developed by UK company Manus Neurodynamica. Now, J&J will carry out a clinical trial to see if it can be used to track side effects of CAR-T therapies, after Manus won a competition run by the drugmaker to find technologies that could be used to detect neurotoxic events earlier.

Researchers have identified spatial and temporal abnormalities in spontaneous fixational saccades as a potential biomarker for cognitive and positive symptoms in schizophrenia. Researchers combined patient data of fixational eye movement recorded over 60 seconds with machine learning technology, which was able to determine schizophrenia with 85% accuracy.

Medical conditions like diabetes, cancer, disturbed blood circulation, and spinal injuries can sometimes impair our body’s natural ability to heal wounds. Patients who live with such conditions often experience wounds that don’t heal. Researchers from Chalmers Institute of Technology (CTH) and the University of Freiburg have proposed an interesting technique that enables chronic wounds to heal faster than ever.?

1 年"Let’s Stop Talking About Interoperability and Just Make it Work" just made me think on several of my conversations with Flavio Aliberti Robots introducing sperm made me think on how technology can be used to protect women going through such a sensitive procedure, reminded me of much about what Lucy Froese writes.
I am curious to see whether the findings on schizophrenia do generalize in follow-up research, with different samples. Would be amazing.
