Billionaire VC Tim Draper (via Draper Associates) has led a $6 million Series A in wellness tracking startup, Vivoo. Also participating in the funding round is ONCE Ventures, Revo Capital, 500 Startups (which backed its pre-seed), Global Ventures, and (the female-led consumer tech startup focused) Halogen Ventures. The personalized nutrition and lifestyle startup sells subscription-based at-home urine test kits that work in conjunction with an app. Its machine learning technology remotely analyzes a user's peed-on test strip to serve up custom'wellness' insights, then and there, offering recommendations across a range of areas such as nutrition and biological function. The startup's founding team is led by CEO and co-founder Miray Tayfun, a serial founder and bioengineer by background who graduated from Stanford's postgraduate programs.

Last week's White House report reiterated President Biden's employer mandate that businesses with 100 or more employees require every worker to be fully vaccinated for COVID-19 or tested weekly. Jeffrey Zients, the White House COVID-19 response coordinator, summarized in last week's press briefing that, "We are on track to quadruple the supply of rapid, at-home tests available to Americans by December to more than 200 million a month and to increase the number of places Americans can access free testing in the United States to 30,000 community-based locations." He emphasized the president's staunch commitment in adding $1 billion of extra funding already to the recent $2 billion investment to increase supply.

WUHAN, China – In the early days in Wuhan, the first city first struck by the virus, getting a COVID-19 test was so difficult that residents compared it to winning the lottery. Throughout the Chinese city in January, thousands of people waited in hourslong lines for hospitals, sometimes next to corpses lying in hallways. But most couldn't get the test they needed to be admitted as patients. And for the few who did, the tests were often faulty, resulting in false negatives. The widespread test shortages and problems at a time when the virus could have been slowed were caused largely by secrecy and cronyism at China's top disease control agency, an Associated Press investigation has found. The flawed testing system prevented scientists and officials from seeing how fast the virus was spreading -- another way China fumbled its early response to the virus. Earlier reporting showed how top Chinese leaders delayed warning the public and withheld information from the World Health Organization, supplying the most comprehensive picture yet of China's initial missteps. Taken together, these mistakes in January facilitated the virus's spread through Wuhan and across the world undetected, in a pandemic that has now sickened more than 64 million people and killed almost 1.5 million.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is playing an essential role in driving digital transformation, bringing changes across various industry. Given its rapid development, along with the unbelievable explosion of data, AI is expected to join the rank of the steam engine, the electricity generator, and the printing press to become another general-purpose technology to significantly impact human life. As Huawei believes, AI is one of the core technologies in the 21st century and will have a profound impact on the future of mankind. The set-up has long been ready for AI to take a giant leap, where AI computing will take up 80% of total workload in computing centres by 2025, compared to the current level of less than 10%. Thanks to tremendous advancement of connectivity, particularly with the arrival of 5G, AI can operate in scenarios requiring high bandwidth and low latency.

Last month, the drinking water in a Colorado town was declared unsafe, because it had been contaminated by an ingredient from cannabis. It took two days to discover that this was not the case – a water test had turned up a false positive result. In fact, false positives are widespread in our everyday lives, and we seem to have an innate inability to get to grips with them. The fuss in Hugo, Colorado – a state where cannabis use is now legal – began when a county employee administering a test for drug use decided to use the same kind of test on tap water, rather than saliva, in an attempt to rule out a false positive. When the water tested positive too, it was assumed the test kit was a dud.
