This New 3D X-Ray Scanner Can Spot Deadly Diseases Without Surgery
Across the world from our Los Angeles studio, New Zealand researchers have developed MedTech that maps a 3D image of x-ray scans. Most of us are used to seeing x-rays in greyscale. Taking inspiration from the Large Hadron Collider (the famous European particle accelerator facility), this technology adds color into the mix. And it could change how doctors […]
Can We Live to 150? This Scientist Said So, but Now He’s Not so Sure

Together with ACT | The App Association’s Connected Health Initiative (CHI), Dogtown Media is […]
mHealth Games Are Helping Post-ICU Patients Recover Cognitive Skills
Some of the coolest mHealth developments aren’t coming out of San Francisco or New York; for example, one’s being produced in Nashville, Tennessee. Researchers at Vanderbilt University built a mobile health platform for patients being released from the intensive care unit (ICU). This platform helps patients “exercise” their mind within the comfort and privacy of their own […]
