The Contactless Clinic: How Wi-Fi, LiDAR, and Radar Will Transform Animal and Human Health
A Wi-Fi router that can measure your heartbeat sounds like the premise of science fiction—but it’s real. Researchers at the University of California, Santa Cruz, recently demonstrated “Pulse-Fi,” a system that detects minute fluctuations in radio signals caused by the rise and fall of the chest, reading heart rate with clinical-level accuracy using components that...Read More→
From Lab-Grown Gametes to Livestock Genomics: The Next Reproductive Frontier in Veterinary Medicine
The promise of in-vitro gametogenesis (IVG)—the creation of eggs and sperm from ordinary cells—has captivated global attention since researchers first reported its feasibility in mice. What began as a quest to expand human reproductive options now signals a paradigm shift that could redefine breeding, conservation, and genetic medicine across species. For veterinary professionals, IVG represents...Read More→
From Self-Driving Cars to Artificial Retinas: Embedded Vision and the Next Frontier of Veterinary Sensing
Across industries, machines are starting to see with purpose — interpreting rather than recording, deciding rather than waiting. From self-driving cars that analyze their surroundings to artificial retinas that process light as the human eye does, a new kind of perception is emerging — one that fuses seeing and understanding into a single act. This...Read More→
Skill Decay in the Age of AI: When Help Hurts!
Artificial intelligence (AI) now assists clinicians in ways once unthinkable—flagging abnormalities, scoring cytology images, even suggesting treatment plans. Yet a recent Lancet Gastroenterology & Hepatology study revealed a paradox: when doctors who had relied on AI returned to unaided colonoscopy, their adenoma detection rate fell by six percentage points. It was the first quantifiable evidence...Read More→
