AI in Medicine: What the Smart Tech Can Tell You About Your “Brain Age”
It may be possible to delay your brain from aging. And no, this isn’t the beginning of a pitch from an after-hours informercial — the science behind this concept is surprisingly real. A recent study in Nature Neuroscience merged three fields to make strides in this research: longevity, neuroscience, and machine learning. The result? An algorithm […]
Food Waste Is a Big Problem – Can AI Solve It?
Approximately one-third of all food produced for human consumption is wasted each year according to the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations. That equates to 1.3 billion tons and carries an annual cost of $1 trillion. If we could salvage this waste, FAO estimates that we’d have enough food to meet the […]
How Data Determines the Value of Your IoT Application
