The investment money continues to roll into the virtual and mobile care space. In the U.S. we now spend about $150 billion a year to treat simple primary care health problems, and many of those problems don’t require the hands-on attention of a physician.
Many of the telemedicine startups we’ve seen sell their service directly to consumers, but Portland, Oregon-based Bright.md offers a technology platform that medical groups can use to care for some types of patients remotely.
Adsquare, which provides a platform for Mobile Audience Targeting to help advertisers target groups of people based on their location, has raised a $4.3 million Series A round led by German VC Target Partners, with participation from existing investors. This adds to a previous $1.4 million seed round from Frühphasenfonds Brandenburg, Berlin Ventures and various angel investors.
Etorkizuneko ikasleak, zientzia eta teknologiara gerturatu ahal izango dira, campus bakoitzean antolatutako ekintzetan parte hartuz. Arrasateko campusean esaterako hainbat arlotako tailer eta laborategietan parte hartu ahal izango dute: haize-tunela, mekanizatua, energia, diseinua, antolakuntza, elektronika eta IKTak.
Donostialdeko campusean, Orona Fundazioa eta IK4 IKERLANekin batera, ekoingenieritzekin zerikusia duten hainbat tailer antolatu dira. Tailer hauetan honako gai hauek landuko dira: energia berriztagarriak, material eta prozesu berriak, energiaren transferentzia…
LKS INGENIERÍA ha sido la adjudicataria de los diseños definitivos de la primera fase de la plataforma logística denominada BRIDGE PORT, ubicada en la emblemática ciudad de Cartagena, Colombia, situada al norte del país en la costa Caribe. Se trata de un proyecto privado promovido por la firma INDUINT.
Mondragon Unibertsitatea (MU) ha emprendido la internacionalización de su oferta educativa, con la apertura de un nuevo campus en la ciudad mexicana de Querétaro. Mondragon-UCO es el «nuevo árbol» crecido de la «simbiosis» de dos instituciones educativas de ambos lados del Atlántico, según definió el rector del campus mexicano, que ya ofrece una docena de licenciaturas e ingenierías a 500 alumnos. El lehendakari inauguró ayer la primera parte de un campus que espera contar con 4.000 estudiantes en 2019 y que pretende exportar el modelo «genuino que vincula empresa y universidad», dijo Iñigo Urkullu, aprovechando la amplia presencia de empresas vascas en la zona.
Iñigo Urkullu lehendakariak inauguratu du gaur Mondragon Nazioarteko Hezkuntzak Queretaron duen campus berria: La Universidad de Mondragon-Universidad Contemporanea. MUko errektore Josu Zabala eta Mexikoko hainbat hezkuntza agintari bertan zirela inauguratu dute.
Gaur egun, unibertsitateak 500 ikasle inguru ditu eta 2019 urterako, 4.000 ikasle izatea aurreikusten da. Ikasle hauek, dozenatik gorako lizentziatura eta ingeniaritza titulu ikasteko aukera dute, Zuzenbidea, Nazioarteko Negozioak, Administrazioa, Energia, Mekatronika, Multimedia Diseinu Grafikoa eta Gastronomiaren alorretan. Hurrengo urteetan, informatikako ingeniaritza eta industria diseinua gehituko zaizkie aurrekoei.
Youngsters aren’t the only ones who get the latest high-tech gadgets. Sometime in the next decade or two, homebound retirees could be early adopters of an important new technology: the home-help robot.
As robots become safer, smarter, and more capable, robotics companies are eyeing elder care as a huge potential market. A rapidly expanding elderly population could also necessitate other new forms of home-assistance technology.
Investor-backed startups are propelling the push to software-defined networking. Since the start of 2012, SDN-related companies have raised over $850M across more than 50 deals.
Funding to the SDN ecosystem has certainly grown including notable $30M+ financings to firms including Cumulus Networks, backed by Battery Ventures, Andreessen Horowitz and Sequoia Capital, as well as go-it-alone Sequoia investment vIPtela.
One possible future for communication is to create a quantum version of the internet that will have the ability, among other things, to send information with perfect security. This network will use entangled photons to transmit information from one locations to another without it passing through the space in between, hence the security.
Photons can only travel hundred kilometres or so through optical fibres before being absorbed. Conventional optical networks get around this with repeaters that boost the optical signal as it passes by.
After decades of repeated reinvention, the silicon transistor is starting to show its age, and the industry is hunting for alternatives. One option involves a new way of manipulating the properties of a material that the computer industry already uses. If it works, it would lead to computer processors that are not only more energy-efficient but also capable of both computation and memory storage at once.
