The Food and Drug Administration wants to ramp up the way it regulates smartphone apps linked to prescription drugs — like medication reminders or symptom trackers. In a new proposal released Monday, the agency said it may treat some apps like drug advertisements — which would allow companies to distribute apps without going through a review process with every update.

"We expect the algorithm to be useful for remote and point-of-care gestational age estimation of premature newborns in low-income countries without the need for medical experts." They expect that the automated imaging analysis method combined with other noninvasive imaging biomarkers will obtain the best results. More information: Arjun D.

referring toSamsung's most exciting smartphone will have a new version of its least exciting feature
Samsung doesn't yet know if it's going to brand the next generation of its virtual assistant as Bixby 3.0. The South Korean-based tech giant is, however, planning to include that new version of Bixby in its foldable phone. That's according to Samsung vice president Eui-Suk Chung, who leads research and development related to software and Bixby for Samsung's mobile business. However, Samsung isn't just planning to add more bells and whistles to Bixby before shipping it with its most exciting smartphone in years in March. Perhaps making a big push like this — including a new version with the much-anticipated foldable phone as well as all other Samsung electronics — can help change that.
