An industry targeting Australia's ageing population is growing, but can AI deliver more humanity in aged care? While companion robots are being introduced and virtual experiences hope to'take loneliness away', one expert agrees tech should never replace the human element "You'll never get rid of humans," Prof Wendy Moyle says, during a discussion about robots and other technology in aged care and residential homes. Then, a beat later, she adds: "Well, I don't we'll get rid of humans."

Dads are traditionally tough to shop for--let me help with these handpicked gift ideas for fathers with great taste. The only Father's Day gift I can recall my own dad getting was a plate of fried sardines. It was prepared by my mother, his ex-wife, who knew how gratefully he'd receive a dish he grew up with in the Italian neighborhood of a steel town dying with such theatrical flair that Bruce Springsteen named a song after it. We lived in a nearby city that had plenty of red-sauce restaurants, but they weren't serving tinned fish in those days. As my father had only the most limited of food preparation skills and didn't date the kind of women who could cook, this was the only way he'd ever taste that flavor again. As Father's Day gifts go, being united with a long-lost recipe from childhood is pretty good.

Oura's New Ring 5 Is Smaller and Lighter--and Adds an AI Health Coach But the real upgrade is Oura's push into AI-powered health insights and proactive monitoring. Two years on since the Oura Ring 4, Finnish health tech company Oura is back with a new smart ring --right in time to compete with the other screenless fitness tracker of the moment, the Fitbit Air . The Oura Ring 5 doubles down on the company's minimalist ethos with a smaller ring design, upgraded durability, and--unsurprisingly--a suite of AI-powered wellness features . The Ring 5 is available for preorder today and begins shipping June 4. It starts at $399 in silver and black, while premium finishes--Stealth, Brushed Silver, an updated Gold, and a new Deep Rose color--cost $499.

Physical activity (PA) plays an important role in maintaining and improving health. Daily steps have been a key PA measure that is easily accessible with common wearable devices. However, methods are lacking to recommend a personalized optimal distribution of daily steps over a period of time for the best of certain health biomarkers. In this paper, we fill this void based on the data from the All of Us Research Program which includes months of step counts as well as repeated measurements of key health biomarkers. We develop a new offline reinforcement learning (RL) algorithm to learn personalized and optimal PA distributions associated with cardiometabolic risk, where the action is a function representing the daily step distribution over a period of time. Simulation studies demonstrate the advantage of the proposed approach over existing continuous-action RL methods. The learned optimal policy from the All of Us data generally suggests people take more daily steps and also follow a more consistent pattern of PA over time while offering tailored recommendations for subgroups in blood glucose level, body mass index, blood pressure, age, and sex.

We study distribution-free predictive inference for data with group symmetries, aiming to establish near-conditional coverage guarantees beyond exchangeability for structured data. While many predictive inference methods achieve a target coverage level, most provide marginal coverage. In practice, conditional predictive inference is often preferred, as it quantifies uncertainty for black-box predictions given observed attributes, thereby accommodating heterogeneity. Although many efforts have pursued efficient conditional coverage, existing methods rely on the i.i.d. or exchangeable assumption, often violated in structured settings such as networks, clusters, and imaging data. Recently, SymmPI introduced a unified approach to predictive inference under group symmetries beyond exchangeability; nevertheless, its guarantees remain marginal and do not account for population heterogeneity. To bridge this gap, we introduce C-SymmPI, a framework that achieves near-conditional coverage under general data structures with group symmetries, extending beyond exchangeability to cover networks, cluster-level data, and related structures. Inspired by relaxed multi-accuracy, our approach reformulates conditional coverage as miscoverage error over a user-specified function class. We establish theoretical guarantees under distributional invariance and distribution shift, and derive convergence rates for linear and RKHS function classes, recovering state-of-the-art results in the exchangeable setting as special cases. For computational efficiency, we develop two variants: a projection-based algorithm for high-dimensional observations, and a sampling-based algorithm for large or infinite groups. We demonstrate effectiveness on hierarchical and network data. Empirical results show that C-SymmPI delivers more informative and stable conditional coverage with improved accuracy compared to existing methods.

Google I/O is back with updates to Search, Android, Gemini, and a fresh peek at upcoming Android XR smart glasses. Here's how to watch the announcements live and what to expect. This is the annual developer event and product showcase where Google shows off all the shiny new updates to its Android operating system and other platforms, as well as new features and improvements to its artificial intelligence models. The big announcements at Google I/O usually come in the form of a livestreamed keynote event at the Shoreline Amphitheatre in Mountain View, California, hosted by Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai. That starts on Tuesday, May 19, at 10 am Pacific time (1 pm Eastern).

Biohacker Bryan Johnson recently bragged about his girlfriend's "top 1%" vagina as the at-home vaginal microbiome test industry is thriving. Farrah was fed up with her vagina . For the past two years, the 29-year-old dancer from Ohio had been dealing with severe pelvic pain and vaginal odor. "It was like 8/10, horrible core pain," she says. When she visited doctors, she told them what she thought the culprit was: an allergic reaction to soy oil in a vat of water she'd swam in during a pirate-themed dinner theater performance. But they didn't believe her.
