There are plenty of startups springing up to offer same-day telemedicine services, many using video on mobile devices. And Google is getting into the game, too.
But there may be room for everyone, because the services are addressing a huge market. In 2013, the average wait time for a family physician was 19.5 days, with same-day appointments practically unattainable without an emergency room visit. And studies show that wait time is increasing.
With the cost of next-generation genome sequencing rapidly decreasing, it’s the hard job of interpreting the results that is preventing genomics from helping doctors care for patients in the clinic.
Omicia is trying to ease the difficult job of interpreting whole-genome sequencing with its new Opal Clinical platform, which is sold as a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS). With Opal, hospitals and diagnostic labs can launch genetic studies faster and interpret results more accurately and quickly, the company says.
ULMA Architectural Solutions-ek 600 ml baino gehiagoko drainatze-kanalak instalatu ditu, F300 modelokoak, Brasiliako Nazioarteko Aireportuan.
Aipatzekoa da drainatze-sistema faktore gakoa dela aireportu batean, bai pistetan gera daitekeen ura ebakuatzeko duen garrantziagatik bai karga handietan kanalak jasan behar duen erresistentziak finkatzeko.
Proiektua aurrera eraman duen Helvix Partzuergo eraikuntza-enpresak ULMA drainatze-kanalak erabiltzea erabaki zuen batez ere kanalen instalazioa epe laburragoan eta kostu lehiakorragoan egiteko proposamenagatik.
Urriaren 23an egingo da Donostiako Kursaalen Enpresarean azoka eta dagoeneko prest dago jardunaldiaren egitaraua. Euskal Herriko enpresen etorkizuneko erronken gaineko hausnarketa irekia eta aberatsa egingo da, hainbat solasaldi eta aurkezpen arinetan. Azokaren gaineko azken xehetasunak eta nondik norakoak azaldu dizkigu Rober Gutiérrez Bai Euskarari Ziurtagiriaren Elkarteko zuzendariak.
Ezer baino lehen, Rober, zer da Enpresarean azoka?
MONDRAGON UNIBERTSITATEA, en colaboración con la Cámara de Comercio de Bilbao, organiza la jornada “Claves para negociar con China: Internacionalización de las empresas de productos y servicios”, que se desarrollará el día 17 de noviembre de 2014, en la sede social de la Cámara de Comercio de Bilbao.

Polish startup Brainly has come a long way since it raised a $500,000 seed round back in 2009. Then the company, which operates a ‘social learning network’ for students to help each other with schoolwork, boasted 7 million users per month, across 17 localised sites, who had answered 2 million questions in total.
The government and, increasingly, commercial insurers, are reimbursing health systems for caring for patient populations based on the value of care given, not on the amount of care given. So hospitals and clinics are hell-bent on finding ways to cut costs, and lab tests are seen as one of the biggest culprits for waste.
A startup called Viewics hopes to cut that waste with an analytics platform that gives doctors, administrators, and lab managers a clear look at the cost and real diagnostic value of the tests being ordered. Studying and understanding this, the thinking goes, might change test ordering habits for the better.
If you’re in the data-center business, you’ve probably been following the Open Compute Project (OCP). And if you haven’t, you should. OCP is Facebook’s response to dealing with a server count that likely exceeds a million. Their innovations around scale and serviceability are simply too compelling to ignore.
Airbus and researchers at MIT are developing shape-shifting materials that could make aircraft simpler and lighter, potentially saving fuel. Made of carbon fiber composites, the materials shift between two or more shapes in response to changes in heat, air pressure, or other environmental factors. They can be integrated into aircraft easily, replacing the need for more complex hydraulic actuators, motors, and hinges. The first application might be in a jet engine’s air intake valve, which needs to adjust as the plane changes altitude.
