Parkinson’s disease, the chronic, long-term degenerative disorder of the central nervous system, affects many people worldwide. Its symptoms, including tremor, rigidness, slowness of movement, etc., are easily recognizable, however, once the person develops these symptoms, the disease is already in its full swing. To help Parkinson’s patients get the help they need as early as … More New Algorithm Able to Predict Parkinson’s Disease Early

A team of engineering researchers at the University of Waterloo has developed new algorithms that can detect when people participate in distracting activities such as texting while driving. The newly developed system uses artificial intelligence and cameras to detect “abnormal” hand movements; movements that indicate that a driver is participating in distracting activities and putting … More Road Safety: Algorithms That Can Detect When People Text and Drive

A team of scientists at the University of Sussex has developed a new algorithm that enables smart watches to detect and learn every move you make – all without being told what to look for. Currently, regular smart watches can recognize a limited number of activities, such as running or yoga. However, as with most … More New Algorithm Enables Smartwatches to Learn Your Every Move on Their Own

Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have recently developed a machine learning algorithm that can predict how much pain a human being is in by looking at an image. The new system is called “DeepFaceLIFT.” The new smart algorithm was trained on videos of people showing signs of pain and discomfort (don’t worry, … More This Algorithm Can Predict How Much Pain You’re In
