Artificial Intelligence Machine learning New research conducted by the University of Indiana in the USA concluded that  Artificial Intelligence  or machine learning  which was responsible for the development of  voice recognition, self-driving cars and credit card fraud detection to name a few, can also greatly improve the cost and quality of the healthcare sector globally. By deploying Artificial Intelligence (AI) frameworks, and utilizing Dynamic Decision Networks and Markov Decision Processes, they demonstrated how simulation modeling (which predicts the outcomes of treatment) can potentially improve patient treatment outcomes and lower costs as a result.

Medi-tech / H+: Bionic eye implants in sight

How does a bionic eye work? One day in the past, bionic eyes  were popularly thought to be the creation of the world of science fiction. Nowadays though many consortia of scientists, eye-specialists and tech-companies are developing bionic eyes for real. Medi-tech (medical technology) experts in Germany have recently developed a nano-chip that helps regain the sight of potentially hundreds of thousands of blind and severely visually impaired people or those with developing degenerative eye diseases such as Retinitis Pigmentosa . Bionic eye of the future In Australia, the "cyber-eye" is being developed and in the United Kingdom, a 48-electrode bionic eye has meanwhile been approved for the European market. The US has now as well followed suir with the approval of a 80 electrode bionic eye. As we move ever closer to real satisfactory bionic eye implants, those that allow us to see in great detail ( focus vision ) as well as spacial vision, bionic eyes become more and more inter...
