A new wearable sensor could save the lives of heart-failure patients.
The artificially intelligent technology helps doctors remotely detect critical changes days before a crisis occurs.
It may even prevent hospitalization, according to a study by University of Utah Health and VA Salt Lake City Health Care System scientists.

Hopefully as we continue to automate more employers follow this example. Article.
A tech boss introduced a $70,000 minimum salary for all his staff — by cutting his own wages. Five years, on he has no regrets.
“Chang’e 4’s landing was no mean feat in itself. The reason why it is so difficult to send anything, robot or man, to the far side of the Moon, is because it is difficult to maintain communications with ground control on Earth with a giant rock in between (the Moon!).”
Chang’e-4 is the first spacecraft ever to land on the Moon’s far side.
Two unmanned commercial satellites have docked in orbit for the first time. On February 25, Northrop Grumman’s Mission Extension Vehicle-1 (MEV-1) linked up with the Intelsat 901 (IS-901) communication satellite at an altitude of 22,416 mi (36,076 km) above the Earth as part of a project to extend the service life of satellites that are running low on propellants.
The building and launching of satellites is extremely expensive, so it’s more than just frustrating when a perfectly good spacecraft has to be disposed of or abandoned simply because it has run out of the propellants needed to keep it in its proper orbit and pointed at Earth. There have been a number of solutions proposed for this problem – in this case Northrop’s MEV-1 is designed to match orbits with aging satellites, dock, and take over the job of maintaining orbit and attitude.
MEV-1 was launched on October 9, 2019, and then executed a series of orbital maneuvers to rendezvous with IS-901, 180 mi (290 km) above geosynchronous orbit. Northrop says the target communication satellite was removed from service last December after over 19 years of service and its customers transferred to other Intelsats.
AI seems to be everywhere, but until recently, it wasn’t a part of your toilet. Companies are wanting to change that not only to appeal to people’s comfort levels with built-in access to Alexa, LED lights, and hands-free lids but also because smart toilets can serve as essential health trackers.
Seat heaters and bidets are cool and all but what I really want to see are toilets that use AI and machine learning to analyze biometric data from waste in order to diagnose viruses, diseases, or deficiencies…
Japan rethought the bathroom. Why hasn’t America?
The CEO of UVD Robots explains why robots can be effective in fighting the coronavirus and how his company is scaling up to meet demand.
While robotics and automation create a plethora of opportunities for skilled labor, they substitute many jobs of unskilled labor. Philips’ automated shaver factory in the Netherlands employs one-tenth of the workforce of its factory in China that makes the same shavers. Such developments accentuate inequality and pose severe social pressure in developed countries, which would need to be addressed by government in the years to come.
Technology can complement humans but it can also eliminate their jobs.

Scientists from Imperial College London have proposed a new regulatory framework for assessing the impact of AI, called the Human Impact Assessment for Technology (HIAT).
The researchers believe the HIAT could identify the ethical, psychological and social risks of technological progress, which are already being exposed in a growing range of applications, from voter manipulation to algorithmic sentencing.
