"I believe that AliveCor's approach to empowering people to be proactive with their heart health data is going to significantly impact the way we think about healthcare," said Simon Prakash, vice president of products and design of AliveCor. "I look forward to expanding upon what the team has already created, and working to get our technology into the hands of more people." "We are excited to welcome both Frank and Simon to the AliveCor leadership team. Frank is one of the most renowned experts in visualization engineering and Simon is a leader in product integrity and design. Their unique skills in both software and hardware engineering and machine learning are in line with our company goals and will help further our vision of saving more lives by producing the most innovative Wearable MedTech devices and services," said Vic Gundotra, chief executive officer of AliveCor.

Apple has come under fire for its use of conflict minerals in iPhones (so have many other device manufacturers, to be fair) before, and the company has just introduced how it aims to reduce its environmental impact. It comes by the way of Liam, a robot that disassembles old iPhones into their core components. The tungsten from the device's alert module will become a cutting tool for example, while the silver contained therein is used for solar panels -- possibly including the ones powering Cupertino's Thailand operations. With the disposable nature of electronics, seeing moves like this is entirely welcome.

Apple has developed a new tool that deconstructs iPhones after they are returned. The robotic cutting tool, called Liam, removes the valuable materials from iPhone parts so they can be repurposed into other products. Apple shared some details about the tool during a press event Monday. Some of the materials removed include cobalt, gold, silver, platinum and tungsten. For example, Tungsten is repurposed in precision cutting tools.

Apple product events typically spark anticipation among tech bloggers and the company's hard-core fans. Monday's event, though, is drawing less excitement than some previous product launches. Apple is expected to announce a smaller, 4-inch iPhone and a smaller version of the iPad Pro tablet. But there's been no hint of any blockbuster developments, such as last year's highly anticipated Apple Watch debut. Despite speculation that Apple is working on a self-driving car or some new virtual-reality device, those are likely years away.

Mashable's Deputy Tech Editor Samantha Kelly recently visited Apple's headquarters in Cupertino, CA, to meet Liam: A large-scale robot with 29 mechanical arms that carefully disassembles your returned and damaged iPhone. Check out the latest innovation from Apple in our video above.

The company, once known for keeping massive projects a secret, has recently been battling a string of product leaks. But as I try to figure out exactly where I am, I'm told Apple is ready to pull the sheets off something that's been more than three years in the making. Something that, Apple believes, has never been done, or seen, before. As we walk toward the warehouse, the doors automatically lift from above. Inside, boxes crowd the space.

Before turning to the expected round of product announcements at today's Apple event, held at the company's campus in Cupertino, Calif., Apple introduced a technical development that won't be a product anytime soon: Liam, the recycling robot. Apple's vice president of environment, policy, and social initiatives, Lisa Jackson, said that though Apple's track record of reusing iPhones that are exchanged for upgrades is good, the company recognized that eventually, these things can't be reused. Therefore, she indicated, Apple decided to up its recycling game. The company's engineers in Silicon Valley developed a recycling robot, named Liam, that recognizes all the key parts on an iPhone, takes the phone apart, and pulls out the most valuable materials, including cobalt, lithium, gold, copper, silver, platinum, and tungsten. With a team of Liams available to mine phones for precious metals, Jackson announced a free recycling program for iPhones; customers can drop the phones at Apple stores, or print a prepaid mailing label at home.

March 21, 2016– AliveCor, Inc., the leader in FDA-cleared ECG technology for mobile devices, announced today the appointment of two former Google leads, Frank Petterson and Simon Prakash. Petterson joins AliveCor as the company's Vice President of Engineering and Prakash as Vice President of Products and Design. Together they will drive the development of products that will continue to enable people and doctors worldwide to proactively manage heart conditions, anywhere anytime. They will lead engineers and data scientists to disrupt the standard of cardiac care and support the company's expansion into the new Wearable MedTech space, pioneered by AliveCor. "I am inspired by AliveCor's mission and vision of bringing together healthcare, wearable technology, and machine learning to create the'Wearable MedTech' category and I look forward to contributing to the goal of creating technology that will make a difference in millions of lives around the world," said Frank Petterson, vice president of engineering of AliveCor.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is all the buzz in the public sphere thanks to the match between Google's AlphaGo and a Korean Go champion in Seoul earlier this month. But AI has long been the interest of computer engineers like Healcerion CEO and founder Benjamin Jeongwon Ryu, who has also been a lifelong tech entrepreneur involved in dozens of projects -- embedded systems, operating systems, email and digital signal processing in the venture scene -- in South Korea. Keen to do something in AI but feeling the need to learn more, Ryu, in the middle of a successful career as an entrepreneur spanning the 1990s and early 2000s, decided to get a medical doctorate following the advice of colleagues who suggested he study neurology and the human body. He got his degree and in 2011, while running his own firm in the afternoon, worked night shifts for two intense years in an emergency room. There he had the most harrowing experience.
