Technology Wearable sweat sensor could help diagnose disease
Sony's HDR camera helps self-driving cars see in the dark
As Tesla recently showed, video cameras are as important as radar and LiDAR in self-driving cars, tracking road signs, vehicles and pedestrians. Tunnels are particularly tough on entry and exit because of the huge differences in lighting (a RED camera demo from 2011 shows how well its HDRx feature handles that). As Sony illustrates in the video, a non-HDR camera sees nothing but white when it encounters light at the end of a bright tunnel. With HDR and flicker removal enabled, however, the new sensor easily adjusts to the abrupt light transition and still spots a flickering LED light.
An ultra-sensitive, wearable sweat sensor may improve diagnosis and treatment of cystic fibrosis, diabetes and other conditions, researchers said Monday. "This is a huge step forward," said co-author Carlos Milla, associate professor of pediatrics at Stanford University. The wearable device.

Unlike previous sweat sensors, the new model requires only a trace of moisture to do its job and doesn't require patients to sit still for 30 minutes while it collects sweat.
"This is a huge step forward," said co-author Carlos Milla, associate professor of pediatrics at Stanford University.
HTC’s One X10 phone will focus on battery life
Images posted by Evleaks show a new HTC phone called the One X10 that, according to what appears to be a marketing slogan, will focus on battery life. Now that phone processors have evolved to the point where low-powered chips can still offer solid performance, a focus on battery endurance is a potentially significant way for midrange phones to stand out. Our own Dan Seifert wrote just this week about how he’s switched from an expensive Google Pixel to the cheaper Moto Z Play mostly because of the dramatically better battery life offered by the latter.
A wearable sensor developed by Stanford researchers can diagnose diseases by measuring molecular constituents of sweat , such as chloride ions and The sensor is not only for diagnosis and monitoring. It could also be used to help with drug development and drug personalization.
This might be the wave of the future to help many people get the specialized help they need or even detect something they do not know they have yet.
The wearable device, designed in collaboration with researchers at the University of California, Berkeley, contains flexible sensors and microprocessors that stick to the skin and stimulate sweat glands.
It detects the presence of different molecules and ions -- for instance, sweat that contains more chloride generates a higher electrical voltage at the sensor's surface.
High chloride ion levels may indicate cystic fibrosis, while high blood glucose levels are a sign of diabetes.
The sensor electronically transmits the results for analysis and diagnostics, according to the report in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
Researchers hope the sensor might one day aid drug development and drug personalization for cystic fibrosis, a genetic disease that causes mucus to build up in the lungs and pancreas, and which is notoriously hard to treat.
Alphabet's Verily details its research-focused health watch
Google has made a smartwatch, but not the kind you might expect. Verily, the health organisation owned by Google parent company Alphabet, has (finally) announced its 'Study Watch' for medical research purposes. The Study Watch has a circular e-ink display which displays the date, time, and some basic instructions for the wearer. "No other information is provided back to the user," Verily says in a blog post. The simple interface is designed to maximise performance; the wearable can last a week on a single charge, and comes with "a powerful processor" to run important algorithms. There are no apps, or any other functionality normally associated with smartwatches.

"CF drugs work on only a fraction of patients," said Sam Emaminejad, who is now an assistant professor of electrical engineering at University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA).
"Just imagine if you use the wearable sweat sensor with people in clinical drug investigations," he said.
"We could get a much better insight into how their chloride ions go up and down in response to a drug."
More research is needed to see if the wearable sweat sensor would work consistently from one day to the next, since the contents of a person's sweat can change frequently based on diet and other factors.
Researchers also hope to learn more about which molecules in sweat can be mapped and may provide the most useful information.
