At-home AI foot scanner may help prevent hospitalizations from heart failure
The artificial intelligence (AI) foot recognition device developed by researchers from the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR) and a Cambridge-based start-up company called Heartfelt Technologies can potentially signal when heart failure becomes severe and life-threatening.
Sound technology helps locate seafloor munitions
Because the objects begin to lose resemblance to their original form and instead blend into their environment over time, these changes can alter how acoustic signals scatter from the objects, and those changes can become more intense over time as corrosion or organic growth increase.
