Artificial Intelligence helps to diagnose Diabetic Eye & Cardiovascular Disease
This AI method to non-invasively screen for anemia could add value to existing diabetic eye disease screening programs, or support an anemia screening that would be quicker and easier than a blood test. Additionally, this work is another example of using deep learning with explainable insights to discover new biomedical knowledge, extending our previous work on cardiovascular risk factors, refractive error, and progression of macular degeneration. We hope this will inspire additional research to reveal new scientific insights from existing medical tests, and to help improve early interventions and health outcomes.https://blog.google/technology/health/anemia-detection-retina

Smart Insulin Patch Could Revolutionize Diabetes Treatments
This smart insulin patch, if proven safe and effective in human trials, would revolutionize the patient experience of diabetes care.In experiments, a one quarter-sized patch successfully controlled glucose levels in pigs with type I diabetes for about 20 hours,  researchers said. The pigs weighed about 55 pounds on average.This new development could revolutionize how glucose levels are monitored in diabetes patients and deliver insulin doses when necessary.

A quick win opportunity exists for politicians to start rebuilding public trust
Rapid bipartisan agreement and legislation of: 1) A federal integrity commission and 2) Public funding of elections - with legal limitations, and transparent real time declaration, of donations to parties and individual politicians would start the rebuilding of public trust in our government system.Both major parties have made public comments on the desirability of both these moves but failed to move forward with legislation. They would not tolerate such delays by other organisations outside the political system! Ask your local member why!!!
