The honey bee’s waggle dance is a wildly intelligent attribute;
it enables a bee to very efficiently convey detailed information to a large
group. No other animal besides humans uses such a technique. Even other
primates don’t use symbols. These behaviors are far above and beyond what most
people would assume an insect is capable of. Without exaggerating, the honey
bee is capable of advanced symbolic communication, language, facial
recognition, number use, observation and mimicry, understanding of rules, and
high-level problem-solving. They are, in some senses, significantly smarter
than many mammals. Amazing. https://www.atlasobscura.com/articles/i-asked-leading-entomologists-whats-the-smartest-bug-in-the-world
A recent pilot study has shown the possibility for a smart watch to bridge the gap between doctors and patients, by monitoring symptoms in Parkinson's disease sufferers. A new application developed by Apple Inc, the Motor Fluctuations Monitor, will allow doctors to monitor patients via built-in hardware such as gyroscopes and accelerometers that can detect and measure subtle motor movements. A study published in Science Translational Medicine used the Apple smartwatch and app to follow 225 patients with Parkinson’s over the course of half a year. There is currently no cure for Parkinson's disease. | https://www.labroots.com/trending/clinical-and-molecular-dx/19800/smartwatches-close-eye-parkinson-s-patien
