"Our team will research and develop machine learning algorithms that tap into smartphone sensors to passively collect data about certain behaviors that we know are related to such health issues. The DOD and Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) are also monitoring cases of infectious diseases contracted during tours in Iraq or Afghanistan. These will include cohorts with TBI and infectious diseases being studied by other WASH teams. Machine learning will enable the app to not only note symptoms, but to also calculate their severity. "I think that someday the work we are doing to support soldiers through the WASH program may be used by society as a whole."
Tell Your Smartphone Where It Hurts: New App Intuitively Tracks Pain
LISTEN UP: Add the new Michigan Medicine News Break to your Alexa-enabled device, or subscribe to our daily audio updates on iTunes, Google Play and Stitcher. By providing a 3D image of the body, the app lets users "paint" their pain on anatomically accurate models to help identify the location and intensity of discomfort — and provide a more objective measurement of pain. The aim: to track, analyze and communicate details that might be lost or misinterpreted with existing pain assessment methods. "Whether the patient has a migraine, fibromyalgia or dental pain, we can measure whether a particular medication or clinical procedure is effective for each localized or spread pain condition," DaSilva adds. "GeoPain is a GPS for pain health care."The free app can be downloaded via Google Play or Apple's App Store and at GeoPain.com.
Scientists Make A Smartphone App Test That Diagnoses Urinary Tract Infections In One Hour
as informed in A new smartphone app and and lab kit can identify urinary tract infections (UTI) in an hour, with remarkable detail. At least half of women will develop a urinary tract infection (UTI) during their life. UTIs account for 25% of the cases of sepsis, and sepsis is a major cause of death, higher than heart attacks, diabetes, or breast cancer. The chemical reagents cost $1.13 per test, or $10-15 for a panel that will identify the most common bacteria causing such infections. The original study "Smartphone-based pathogen diagnosis in urinary sepsis patients" was published in the journal EbioMedicine.Leica FOTOS is a Universal Smartphone App for Leica Cameras
Leica has announced a new smartphone app called FOTOS that's compatible with a number of Leica cameras. With multiple Leica cameras supporting wireless connectivity now, FOTOS is one app that rules them all. "In the past, Leica Camera offered a wide range of apps that could be downloaded and installed for various different cameras," Leica says. "As of now, the Leica FOTOS app replaces them all."FOTOS is designed to help Leica photographers seamlessly integrate their smartphones into how they shoot and manage their photos. The Leica FOTOS app will initially be compatible with the Leica S (Typ 007), SL, M10, M10-P, Q, TL2, TL, T, CL, D-Lux, and V-Lux cameras.
