Doctors Develop App That Calculates the Health of Your Heart

A team of doctors here have developed a mobile application through which the health status of The mobile application, named 'Heart Health Meter' (HHM App), was launched at a function in Thane last evening by a team of doctors and IT experts from Madhavbaug - an organisation of multidisciplinary cardiac care clinics and hospitals - on its 50th anniversary.

Explaining the modalities of the app, Rohit Sane, trustee and MD of Vaidya Sane Trust (the parent organisation of Madhavbaug), said through 'HHM App' one can know the current health status of his heart.

"With increasing age, conditions like diabetes, excess weight, smoking, high blood pressure and high cholesterol levels damage our blood vessels and the heart, increasing our risk of getting a heart attack," he said.

The 'Heart Health Meter' calculates this risk and also gives you recommendations and tips on how to reduce or manage the risk, he said.

"Taking treatment early for these risk factors reduces chances of developing a major heart condition and getting a heart attack. The HHM can be downloaded and heart health calculated easily with it," Sane said.

Facebook Moves Ahead Toward Internet Drone Air Fleet

Facebook co-founder Mark Zuckerberg on Thursday proclaimed the successful test of a wide-winged, solar-powered drone built to deliver wireless internet service to remote spots.

The test flight of a drone prototype dubbed "Aquila" took place in Britain and was considered a milestone in an internet.org project to bring online access to billions more people around the planet.

"Aircraft like these will help connect the whole world because they can affordably serve the 10 percent of the world's population that live in remote communities without existing Internet infrastructure," Zuckerberg said in a post on his Facebook timeline.

The unpiloted aerial vehicle, or drone, has a wingspan greater than that of a Boeing 737 passenger jet and weighs about as much as a small car, Facebook chief technology officer Mike Schroepfer told a packed audience at the social network's annual gathering of developers in San Francisco.

Wearable Device Helps the Visually Challenged Avoid Collisions

Researchers have developed a wearable device for the visually-challenged people that can help them avoid a collision.

"We developed this pocket-sized collision warning device, which can predict impending collisions based on time to collision rather than proximity," said paper co-author Shrinivas Pundlik.

The findings are published in Investigative Ophthalmology and Visual Science (IOVS).

"It gives warnings only when the users approach obstacles, not when users stand close to objects and not when moving objects just pass by," said senior author Gang Luo, associate scientist at Massachusetts Eye and Ear.

"The auditory collision warnings given by the device are simple and intuitively understandable," Luo explained.

Compared to walking without the device, collisions were reduced significantly by about 37 percent with the device and walking speed barely changed."We are excited about the device's potential value for helping visually impaired and completely blind people walk around safely," Luo said.

High Spectrum Prices Will Likely Pressure Telcos Into Raising Tariffs: GSMA

High spectrum prices in the just concluded auctions are likely to put financial pressure on the Indian telecom operators who will eventually pass on the impact in form of rise in tariffs to consumers, global industry body GSMA said today.

"Unfortunately these high prices will put increased financial pressure on operators and ultimately have a negative impact on consumers, reducing the value derived from the spectrum and hindering future economic growth and social gain in India," GSMA Chief Regulatory Officer Tom Phillips said in a statement.The biggest telecom spectrum auction ended on Wednesday after 19 days of fierce bidding and fetched about Rs 1.09 lakh crores to the government.

This comes a day after after Telecom Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad said as per an analysis,"the yearly load on telecom operators is going to be about Rs. 5,300 crores...and Rs. 0.013 paise per minute (mobile phone) call."

GSMA, however, appreciated the large number of bids made by telecom operators and added that "This outcome reflects the commitment of national mobile operators to invest in India."

The global industry body urged Indian government to enable a business and regulatory environment built around trust and certainty, which will facilitate fresh investment by mobile operators to expand mobile broadband services throughout the country.

"Mobile connectivity is a critical enabler for building a digitally empowered society and knowledge economy and must inevitably be at the heart of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's vision for a truly 'Digital India'," Phillips said.]
