Ayogu is currently part of a group that is in the process of developing an SMS mobile technology that assesses the seriousness of illnesses by a diagnostic algorithm that deciphers the patient’s medical emergencies through text messaging...
...technology depends on an automated software that uses a glucose-control algorithm to determine the appropriate amounts of insulin and glucagon a patient needs, according to Edward Damiano, an associate professor of biomedical engineering at Boston University...
...researchers discovered in that variability in the rate of insulin-absorption is very high—not only across the general population, but also for specific individuals. The versatility of the algorithm in the artificial pancreas allows the device to treat patients with widely differing insulin absorption rates...
...best to pre-med students: residency matching. After their residency interviews, graduating medical students submit rank-order lists of programs to a centralized matching service, the National Residency Matching Program, which optimizes pairings with the rankings of applicants submitted by individual residency programs. The NRMP utilizes the Gale-Shapley algorithm, introduced to solve the canonical “stable marriage problem.” In this algorithm, pairings between parties are optimized such that all possibility of “infidelity” in matches is precluded, so no spouse wants to defect from the arranged nuptials?...
...product, you're missing the point, says co-founder Shawn Colo. "It doesn't pay to do journalism," he says. He's right. Sending writers to Haiti, for example, would defy the company's No. 1 rule: Every piece has to be profitable. That's why Demand's algorithm favors quick explainer pieces like "How to Remove Dents in a Hair Dryer." (See 10 perfect jobs for the recession - and after...
