Intensive treatment of blood pressure helps prevent memory decline in older adults
This study, as well as the larger SPRINT study, also demonstrated that overall intensive treatment of blood pressure in older adults is safe. However, we do know that some individuals may develop dizziness, imbalance, and in rare instances strokes with intensive blood pressure lowering. For that reason, it is important to discuss your blood pressure management with your primary care physician and follow his or her recommendation.
How do cardiovascular risk factors affect brain health?
We have evidence from studies of the population, studies of brain scans, and studies of animals, that treatment of cardiovascular risk facto...

Data Annotators: The Unsung Heroes Of Artificial Intelligence Development
How do you create a smart algorithm? Where and how do you get the data for it? What do you need for a pattern recognizing program to work well and what are the challenges? Nowadays, everyone seems to be building artificial intelligence-based software, also in healthcare, but no one talks about one of the most important aspects of the work: data annotation and the people who are undertaking this time-consuming, rather monotonous task without the flare that usually encircles A.I. Without their dedicated work, it is impossible to develop algorithms, so we thought it is time to sing an ode to the superheroes of algorithm devel...

Fight Aging! Newsletter, March 25th 2019
This study defines a new clinically relevant concept of T-cell senescence-mediated inflammatory responses in the pathophysiology of abnormal glucose homeostasis. We also found that T-cell senescence is associated with systemic inflammation and alters hepatic glucose homeostasis. The rational modulation of T-cell senescence would be a promising avenue for the treatment or prevention of diabetes.

The Heart of The Matter: Technology In The Future of Cardiology
Sound, rhythm, rate, structure, function – countless features of the heart are measured to keep it healthy for as long as possible. Recently, an army of digital health technologies joined the forces of traditional preventive tools in cardiology to counter stroke, heart attack, heart failure or any other cardiovascular risks. In the future, minuscule sensors, digital twins, and artificial intelligence could strengthen their ranks. Let’s see what the future of cardiology might look like!

Top Smart Algorithms In Healthcare
As artificial intelligence tools have been invading
more or less every area of healthcare, we made a list to keep track of the top smart algorithms aiming for better diagnostics,
more sophisticated patient care or further sighted predictions of diseases.
Does A.I. beat doctors?
Only if you lived under a rock for the last couple of
years, could you not have heard about artificial intelligence. Some might have even come
across the spread and potential of A.I. in healthcare. Not only
smart algorithms themselves but also the
hype around A.I. has grown immensely, thus every time a new study about deep
learning or machine...
