Imagine walking into your doctor’s office feeling sick – and rather than flipping through pages of your medical history or running tests that take days, your doctor instantly pulls together data from your health records, genetic profile and wearable devices to help decipher what’s wrong.This kind of rapid diagnosis is one of the big promises of artificial intelligence for use in health care. Proponents of the technology say that over the coming decades, AI has the potential to save hundreds of thousands, even millions of lives.What’s more, a 2023 study found that if the health care industry significantly increased its…

Rory McIlroy already has everything he wanted from golf.His dream was to be the best player in the game, which he fulfilled long ago by reaching No. 1 in the world nine times. The tallest mountain took 11 years to climb, and this was truly rarefied air when McIlroy won the Masters in April to complete the career Grand Slam.So joyous was that moment for McIlroy that he figured anything else he achieved in his career would be gravy.“That very well could be the highlight of my career,” McIlroy said of his Masters green jacket and all that came with…
When she was growing up, food and a clean plate were the center of everything in Tatiana De La Rosa’s life. “If you ever go visit a Hispanic family, they will feed you until you burst,” she tells Yahoo. “To elder Hispanics, if you’re not plump, you’re not healthy.” But as an adult, nurse and mother of two, De La Rosa knew her weight was not healthy.

After 14 years of developing inside of semiconductor giant Intel, RealSense is striking out on its own. RealSense sells cameras that use stereoscopic imaging, a process that combines two images of the same object from different angles to create depth, enhanced with infrared light. This technology helps machines like robots, drones, and autonomous vehicles have a better perception of the physical world around them. The tech is also used for facial authentication. “The common denominator of all of them is they live in the real, physical world,” CEO Nadav Orbach told TechCrunch. “They need to understand the surroundings in 3D…
