Using sensors and artificial intelligence boosts profitability of agricultural facilities
According to the Spanish Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food, the livestock industry accounted for over €20.2 billion of production in the Spanish economy in 2020. Research at the Universitat Oberta de Catalunya (UOC) has confirmed that this figure could significantly improve with the use of new technologies and artificial intelligence, and better control of all the procedures required in production. A UOC industrial doctoral degree from the Network and Information Technologies programme has concluded that incorporating artificial intelligence and applying it with devices, such as monitoring sensors, would optimize the livestock industry's restocking and service planning processes, leading to higher profit and reduced costs. "Other more highly industrialized sectors have been benefiting from Industry 4.0 principles and proposals for years, but the livestock industry still suffers from a low degree of digitization," said David Raba, author of the thesis. He conducted the research INSYLO Technologies S.L., a company specializing in the development of volumetric sensors and environmental quality.

IBM Watson Health Introduces New Opportunities for Imaging AI Adoption
Orchestration--of AI and of workflow--offers a new way to help imaging organizations improve radiologists' reading experience while significantly reducing the impact on IT IBM (NYSE: IBM) Watson Health is introducing a new AI orchestration offering to help imaging organizations experience the benefits of having AI applications work seamlessly together. IBM Watson Health will officially launch IBM Imaging AI Orchestrator at the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) 2021 Annual Meeting in Chicago this week. In addition, IBM is announcing IBM Imaging Workflow Orchestrator with Watson, a new solution that modernizes the radiologist's reading experience while reducing the demands on IT and imaging system administrators. "We recognize that when it comes to applying AI in imaging, it's hard to go it alone," said David Gruen, MD, MBA, FACR, Chief Medical Officer, Imaging, Watson Health. "Because each AI application is developed in a unique way with a specific purpose, it can be challenging for organizations to review and assess each one, and then to deploy them in a way that's beneficial to radiologists and their patients. That's why, with the rapid proliferation of approved algorithms, staffing shortages, and complexity of disease, the IBM Imaging AI Orchestrator could not come at a better time."
Zephyr AI Launches its Big Data, Machine-Learning Approach to Aid Precision Medicine
Technology investment company and incubator Red Cell Partners announced today the launch of Zephyr AI, a company that leverages large data sets to inform both clinical care and the development of new targeted precision therapies. The management team of the new company consists of CEO Yisroel Brumer, formerly of the office of the Secretary of Defense; Executive Chairman Grant Verstandig, who most recently served Chief Digital Officer at UnitedHealth Group; and Chief Technology Officer Jeff Sherman, who was the machine learning architect at Rally Health, which was acquired in 2017 by UnitedHealth's Optum unit. According to a press release announcing its launch, Zephyr AI will look to improve patient outcomes while lowering costs by integrating "artificial intelligence with extensive datasets to upend traditional'guess and test' drug development and personalized medicine processes to unearth novel therapeutics, new applications for existing therapeutics, and advanced biomarkers for individualized treatments."

Fragmented CDS Tech Poses Problems for Healthcare Data Interoperabilit
The earliest clinical decision support systems date back to the 1960s, when pharmacists used automated technology to check patient allergies, research dosages, and check for drug-to-drug interactions.(1) Now, according to recent estimates, up to 74 percent of healthcare provider organizations use clinical decision support (CDS) technology.(2) These systems harness the power of artificial intelligence (AI) to help provide clinicians, staff members, patients, and others with person-specific health information. In New Jersey, a CDS system known as Clover Assistant is taking hold as an invaluable resource for physicians--the platform provides clinicians with patient-specific information that is relevant to the visit, as well as providing actionable insights to help improve long-term outcomes and guide preventative care.(3) But there is still the problem of fragmentation. Stuart Long, CEO of InfoBionic, a leading digital cardiac health company, says, "CDS systems are great for helping physicians arrive at appropriate and timely clinical decisions regarding many aspects of patient care.

GitHub - anaximeno/DigitRecognitionWebApp: A web application that can recognize which digits you have drawn.
This Web Application can recognize which numbers were drawn by you. To do this it uses Machine Learning (actually Deep Learning) techniques for predicting (determining) which digits were drawn by you on the canvas. It was trained (we refer to training as the way our model learn to predict correctly the given inputs) using two python frameworks for Machine Learning Tensorflow, Keras and another JavaScript framework used for inference (something like using a pre-trained model to make predictions) the TensorflowJS. For more information about the model used for inference, click on the Model Card.
