  A portable hospital. This is how MySignals can be described, the last product launched by the Zaragonza company Libelium. It is an eHealth development platform that includes 15 different sensors to measure the 20 most important biometric parameters of a person such as heart rate, glucose, air flow, pulse, oxygen in blood, blood pressure, lung capacity, among many others .

  "MySignals is able to measure the main parameters that are controlled in a hospital monitoring room such as heart rate, glucose, air flow, pulse, oxygen in blood, blood pressure, lung capacity, temperature, electrocardiogram, electromyogram , respiratory frequency, galvanic response of the skin, snoring waves, patient's position or body scale parameters ", says David Gascón, founder of Libelium.

Approximately one third of the world's population can not access a diagnosis in real time due to the high cost of some tests and this project aims to promote the democratization of universal access to healthcare, one of the challenges of the 21st century. This is one of the reasons why MySignals has been awarded the 2016 Innovation Award from The App Date.

"MySignals seeks to change the future of medical devices and their applications," explains David Gascón. Under normal conditions some of these parameters (and others more advanced that also registers) can only be known with advanced material and, above all, with an expert in person to be able to analyze them.

"The biggest challenge is to be able to miniaturize the technology by creating a device capable of being portable in a case while simplifying the complicated systems and tools of hospitals in something as simple as a platform to which any sensor can be connected through a cable similar to that of mp3 headphones, press a button and be able to get more than 20 parameters of our body, "says the founder of Libelium.

92% of Spaniards connect to the internet at least once a day Half of the world's population is connected, reaching more than 4,000 million mariners    For the first time in history, the Network of networks reaches 4,021 million people who browse it, a figure that assumes that the Internet reaches half of the world's population, according to data from the Digital report in 2018 by Hootsuite. and We are Social. An increase in users who also move to Spain, where the figure has grown by 2 million to reach 39.4 million active Internet users , which means that 85% of Spaniards already have access to the network. "With 4,000 million online users, connectivity has already become a way of life for most of us. However, while Internet companies strive to provide service to the next billion users, we will see important changes in the coming months, "says Simon Kemp, global consultant at We Are Social.    According to the Digital 2018 report, Spaniards spend 5.20 hours a ...

Autonomous boats will arrive in Europe in 2017 The waters of the canals of Amsterdam will receive the first robots ships    If the autonomous cars begin to accumulate kilometers by the highways of the United States, to the other side of the Atlantic Amsterdam prepares to receive the first boats without captain. "Imagine a fleet of autonomous boats for the transport of goods and people," Professor of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Carlo Ratti said in a statement from this research center. The Amsterdam Institute for Advanced Metropolitan Solutions is working on a project that will culminate in 2017 with the first trips through the capital's canals with robot ships.   The scientific director of the Dutch center, Arjan van Timmeren, said that these boats "offer enormous possibilities" and could have application in environmental and health issues, such as detecting diseases in advance once progress is made in relation to underwater robots. The project wil...

Artificial intelligence takes over the drones

Artificial intelligence takes over the drones An MIT mapping system allows unmanned aircraft to dodge obstacles at low speed     Can a drone only dodge an obstacle? The answer is yes. The Laboratory of Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence (CSAIL) of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology has managed to provide artificial intelligence to a small aircraft to fly through forests and warehouses. Nanomap, the new alternative navigation system allows you to fly over and avoid obstacles, as long as the speed of the device does not exceed 30 kilometers per hour.    Excessively safe maps will not help if you want drones that can operate at higher speeds in human environments," says graduate student Pete Florence, lead author of a new related document. "An approach that is more aware of uncertainty gives us a much higher level of reliability in terms of being able to fly close and avoid obstacles ." Shocks Many existing approaches are based on complex ...
