It might sound like science fiction, but using digital replicas of people to improve their health is perfectly realistic. This week Horizon Magazine featured EU research combining human digital doubles, big data and artificial intelligence to treat illnesses in a more personalised way. When it comes to improving healthcare, portable ultrasound devices show promise over more traditional medical imaging. We spoke to researchers developing a portable low-cost high-resolution ultrasound probe that will provide better and faster treatment for millions of patients, including people who have had a stroke. Even though aeroplanes are about 75% quieter nowadays, increased air traffic has led to serious noise disturbances for people. We interviewed researchers trying to make aircraft quieter during takeoffs and landings through design improvements, including for wing components and landing gear. | | | Digital replicas of patients can help them get healthy
