Many women going through menopause suffer brain fog, but some may be worried about a more serious cognitive condition like dementia. Because of this, Midi Health and Neurotrack partnered to offer a cognitive assessment to patients.
AI tools for automating malaria detection, improving stroke care and predicting suicide risk are among the technologies Partners believes have the greatest potential to impact healthcare in the next year.
The progress in artificial intelligence (AI) is reshaping patient care, across various dimensions, from facilitating faster discharge to curating treatment plans and suggesting lifestyle changes.
Balancing on one leg sounds like an easy enough task, but it’s actually difficult for some people, which could mean more than that they might struggle in a yoga class. According to Medical News Today, some new research published in Stroke reports an association between the inability to balance for more than 20 seconds and an […]
A new study published in the Journal of Occupational and Behavioral Medicine led by Jean-Claude Marquié, Ph.D., a research director at the University of Toulouse in France, has shown that memory, information processing and just overall brain function suffers when people work shifts varying from day and night. This shift work the study refers to […]
Rather than trying to break up clumps of proteins that characterize many brain diseases including Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s disease, Gal Bitan and his team are trying to stop them from binding in the first place using what they call molecular tweezers. Bitan, an associate professor of neurology at UCLA, is working with a research team […]
Unlike the CES Digital Health Summit, HIMSS and SXSW, software and gadget startups aren’t easy to come by at the healthcare conference I’m attending today. At Life Science Nation’s Redefining Early Stage Investments conference in Boston, the entrepreneur wearing the sensor headband definitely stood out. That would be Tasos Smeros, founder of Multineurons, who was […]
The future looks bright for the integrated specialty pharmacy model – for health systems, providers, and most importantly, for patients.
Sofie Biosciences announced it will receive a $1.8 million Phase 2 Small Business Innovation Research grant from the National Institute of Mental Health to be paid out over three years. The money will support the in vivo imaging diagnostics startup in an effort to make “the first digital chip technology for the rapid and easy […]
We can now grow complex human brain tissue in a test tube. Scientists in Vienna, Austria, used a method that allows pluripotent stem cells to develop into mini-brains (i.e., cerebral organoids) that even have several distinct brain regions, according to an article in this issue of Nature. While this year has seen 3-D printed miniature […]
BOSTON (IMNG) – Women who complain about cognitive problems after menopause might have increases rather than decreases in volume of certain brain regions, reported investigators at the Alzheimer’s Association International Conference 2013. Brain imaging studies of 48 women in the early years of menopause showed that those with subjective cognitive complaints had significantly greater volumes […]
