Bionic prostheses usually look futuristic and cool in scientific articles and commercials, but most users consider them “stupid” devices that are tedious to use. Most of these prostheses are primitive to control; the user must tell the prosthesis what and how to do in order to achieve the simplest result, such as picking up a cup of coffee. Researchers at the University of Utah have proposed transferring some control of the prosthesis to a computer so that it decides how to move and the user focuses on what needs to be done.

AI remote patient monitoring seeks to address a longstanding and complex challenge in medicine: translating chaotic streams of health data into a comprehensible and standardized format. This capability empowers medical professionals to prioritize effectively and respond to challenges in a timely manner. The primary “superpower” of AI is transforming a thousand signals, ex. heart rate spikes, into a single, actionable notification: “Pay attention, there is a problem!”
