The ambitious project started with an idea that soon the human body and modern medical technology will become one. It will be possible to continuously monitor the body's condition in real-time thanks to the introduction of a next-generation microchip in the blood. Once the realm of science fiction, this is now a near reality.
Aedes aegypti mosquitoes live in a tropical climate and carry dangerous diseases such as dengue fever and the Zika virus. Annually, $1 million USD is budgeted to combat malevolent mosquitoes. The new development by the biotech company Oxitec, which has created genetically modified mosquitoes, will cost less and be more effective. This is an important development because mosquitoes become pesticide-resistant over time.
The company MindMics has developed an infrasound technology called SoundPoint, which uses headphones to record low-frequency sound waves produced by the human body. The technology gives a complete picture of heart health, including data on heart rate, blood volume in veins and arteries, and valve function.
Ornament was the leading participant in the most recent investment round for the Cordillera project.

Scientists at Kaunas University of Technology (KTU) in Lithuania have developed a method that can predict the possible onset of Alzheimer's disease with almost one hundred percent accuracy.
Type 2 diabetes has long been a challenge for scientists around the world. Despite the fact that new methods of treatment are constantly developed, it is still not possible to completely take control of this disease. For that reason, it is easy to understand why a new innovative solution to treat diabetes without medication has caught everyone's attention.
At the end of November, a new strain of COVID-19 called Omicron appeared in South Africa. On December 1st, the first case in the U.S. was detected in California. How much more dangerous is it than the other strains we know about? And how can we prepare for it?
Scientists have recently identified components in cannabis that can prevent COVID-19 from entering human cells.
British scientists have discovered that artificial intelligence is much more effective than medical experts in using cardiac ultrasound to identify COVID-19 patients who have a greater chance of experiencing complications and increased risk of death.
Have you heard about the supernatural powers of artificial intelligence? Would you like to try it out for yourself? Then let's go!
A biomarker is a characteristic that is used to determine the condition of a human body. Any lab report consists of a set of biomarkers. For example, a general blood test includes more than 10 indicators, including hemoglobin, white blood cells, red blood cells, and platelets. A reference value is a range of conventionally normal values determined for each biomarker in a presumably healthy population.
There is no cure for Alzheimer's disease. Researchers around the world have been trying for decades to find a way to fight this terrible disease, which affects more than 5.5 million people in the United States alone. Gregory Thatcher, professor of medical sciences at the University of Arizona, has published a study that breaks new ground in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease and type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2).
A new study conducted by clinician Heike Bischoff-Ferrari and geoscientist Steve Horvath from the University of Zurich in Switzerland has shown that taking 1 gram of omega-3 daily for three years slows biological aging by three months, which is equal to an 8 % reduction.
Qomek, a provider of cloud services and reference systems for medical organizations worldwide, and Ornament Health, which specializes in the development of advanced IT technologies, announce a strategic partnership.

We believe that our brain is a reliable source of information, but this is not the case. Memories can be distorted for various reasons, which has repeatedly led to unfortunate consequences. For example, when considering witness testimony in court. New research conducted by Adam Albi and Peter Paikossy from the Budapest University of Technology and Economics has shown that there is an objective way to measure how reliable a person's memories are simply by observing their pupil response.
Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of death worldwide. However, unlike many other illnesses, they can often be prevented — especially if detected early, treated promptly, and managed with appropriate lifestyle changes. A new test aims to make that possible.
Mary E. Brunkow, Fred Ramsdell, and Shimon Sakaguchi have been awarded the 2025 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for their groundbreaking discoveries on peripheral immune tolerance. But what exactly makes their work so brilliant—and how can it help the rest of us?
