🤖 We May Become Cyborgs

Today we review new research from Johns Hopkins University that allows for nano tattoos on living cells and a look into how Linus Health has modernized a dementia test with AI

It’s Monday!

That means more AI innovations!

We are one step closer to becoming cyborgs with a new gold nano ‘tattoo’ discovery. And a look into how AI and the Apple Pencil are being used to spot dementia.

Also, there is a fresh new list of featured innovators…

PLUS: MIT University is offering a 6-week online AI course!

Let’s Review 👇

Researchers at Johns Hopkins University have developed a technique for tattooing gold onto living tissue, which could lead to integrating human cells with electronic devices and AI.

Using nanoimprint lithography, they printed living mouse embryo fibroblast cells with patterns of gold nanodots and nanowires. This is a significant step towards adding more complex circuitry and has potential health applications.

The technique could allow for remote monitoring and control of individual cells, leading to earlier disease diagnosis and treatment. Integrating electronics with human biology has been a challenge due to the incompatibility of living tissue with manufacturing techniques.

However, nanoimprint lithography offers a low-cost and simple solution for developing more complicated electronics that can be integrated with living tissues and other soft materials.

This could open up opportunities for new biohybrid materials, bionic devices, and AI biosensors. (Read More)

The Clock Drawing Test is a task that assesses memory, concentration, spatial image relation, and fine motor movements.

It has been used for over 30 years to screen for dementia and cognitive impairments. The test has now been digitized and received an innovation award.

Developed by Linus Health, the DCTclock is used on an iPad with an Apple Pencil. AI is used to analyze the drawing, including the roundness of the clock circle and the accuracy of the numbers. The system also tracks movement metrics and can detect tremors.

After the test, a score is produced using AI analysis, and recommendations for treatment are given if issues are found. The DCTclock will be expanded to other platforms in the future.

Screening for dementia can lead to earlier treatment and improved quality of life. (Read More)
