Zoe Care is taking a different approach, by using existing Wi-Fi signals (and the way our bodies change how Wi-Fi reception works) to detect humans and their activities.
Using Wi-Fi signals is a pretty cool, non-intrusive solution that addresses the key issues of privacy and ease of use that often plague conventional remote monitoring technologies.
The device doubles as a smart plug, and uses a sensor to gather and analyze Wi-Fi signals.
If a fall is detected, these signals are translated into alerts on a mobile application.
The fall detector will be offered as a subscription service, around $20-25 per month in the U.S.,” says Piotr Antonik, co-founder and CTO at Zoe Care.
The European Union is checking whether Microsoft’s investment in generative AI giant OpenAI is reviewable under the bloc’s merger regulations, it said today.
“Finally, the European Commission is checking whether Microsoft’s investment in OpenAI might be reviewable under the EU Merger Regulation,” it added.
Commenting in a statement, EU competition chief Margrethe Vestager said:Virtual worlds and generative AI are rapidly developing.
They also told us there are no “particular concerns” the EU has identified yet vis-a-vis competition and generative AI as yet.
Per the spokesperson, a transaction would be notifiable to the Commission under the EU Merger Regulation if it involves ” a change of control on a lasting basis”.
If you follow the world of robotic exoskeletons with any frequency, you’re no doubt aware of the two primary categories.
The latter category is often the domain of soft robotic exoskeletons – those with fabric parts designed to be more of a day-to-day assistive accessory.
In the case of people with Parkinson’s disease, “freezing” is a frequent issue that impacts the ability to walk, while increasing the likelihood of falls.
New research from a joint team from Harvard and Boston University, published in Nature Medicine, demonstrates how soft robotic exoskeletons can address the issue.
Without any special training, the patient was able to walk without any freezing indoors and with only occasional episodes outdoors.
Adobe and Figma ended their $20 billion acquisition dream this morning after regulators signaled it would continue to be rough going.
Figma still gets a $1 billion consolation prize as part of the deal, and as the leader in collaborative design, should land on its feet just fine.
Adobe put on a brave face in their public statement, but it has to be deeply disappointed with this outcome.
Figma, for its part, has not stood still since the deal was announced, proceeding and planning as the independent company it is.
If he is right, that’s precisely why Adobe wanted to buy the company because it saw that too.
