Google Translate Buttons For Health Care Are Coming

Canan Dagdeviren [JAH-naan DAH-day-vee-ren] is head of the new'Conformable Decoders' research group at MIT. Scientist Canan Dagdeviren is an interpreter for a language without words. She knows they're both saying something important, speaking the unique language of the body. It's a lexicon that's completely different from the Turkish and English that Dagdeviren speaks every day – but it's one she believes we need to start translating in earnest. She wants to count up our brain pulses, watch our temperature change in real time and observe how we breathe. This is different from the health-monitoring tech inside consumer Fitbits and smart watches that can count each step and monitor every heartbeat.
