The US Food and Drug Administration has approved the first continuous glucose monitor (CGM) people can buy without a prescription. Dexcom's Stelo Glucose Biosensor System has a sensor users are meant to insert into their upper arm, similar to the company's other CGMs that need a doctor's prescription for purchase. It pairs with a smartphone application that can show the user's blood glucose measurements and trends every 15 minutes.The company designed the device specifically for adults 18 and up who are not using insulin,…

Samsung is gearing up to revolutionize health tracking on its wearables, according to a recent Bloomberg report. The company is reportedly working on introducing continuous blood pressure and glucose monitoring features to its wearables. This development aligns with Samsung’s commitment to enhance its health-related offerings. Rumors suggest that the anticipated Galaxy Ring will be the first device to equip these advanced capabilities. Samsung sees continuous blood pressure and glucose monitoring as the next big thing In…

Learn how a neural network with one hidden layer using ReLU activation can represent any continuous nonlinear functions.Activation functions play an integral role in Neural Networks (NNs) since they introduce non-linearity and allow the network to learn more complex features and functions than just a linear regression. One of the most commonly used activation functions is Rectified Linear Unit (ReLU), which has been theoretically shown to enable NNs to approximate a wide range of continuous functions, making them powerful…

Ease of administration: All four CGMs were easily affixed to the back of my arm using a plunger device held against the skin. (I must admit that I’m not sure I could have done this on my own, at least the first few times. I engaged the help of my mechanical-engineering husband, who found administration straightforward.) All four sensors have a short monofilament that remains embedded in the skin.Event Tracking: All four allow tracking of food and exercise in the companion app and include a notes feature to track meal…

“Let’s see what a Snickers bar does to my blood sugar,” Justin Richard, a 52-year-old Toronto-based TikToker says just before eating the candy bar on camera. After an edited time skip, Richard says, “It’s been several hours since I’ve had the chocolate bar, let’s have a look at the glucose monitor and see what actually happened.” He slightly lifts his arm flashing the device, an inconspicuous blue circular patch that almost looks like a Band-Aid. Above his head flashes a screenshot of his blood glucose reading, which…

CI/CD for data engineers and ML OpsPhoto by Emmy Sobieski on UnsplashWhat is a data environment? Data engineers split infrastructure resources into live and staging to create isolated areas (environments) where they can test ETL services and data pipelines before promoting them to production.Data environment refers to a set of applications and related physical infrastructure resources that enable data storage, transfer, processing and data transformation to support company goals and objectives.This story provides an…

Automate Machine Learning Workflow with Continuous IntegrationAs a data scientist, you are responsible for improving the model currently in production. After spending months fine-tuning the model, you discover one with greater accuracy than the original.Excited by your breakthrough, you create a pull request to merge your model into the main branch.Image by AuthorUnfortunately, because of the numerous changes, your team takes over a week to evaluate and analyze them, which ultimately impedes project progress.Furthermore,…

Researchers from Pusan National University in Korea have developed a numerical simulation to predict the continuous ice-breaking capacity of an icebreaker navigating polar seas. The study can be used for the efficient design of icebreakers that can travel the Northern Arctic route, help improve trade, and distribute resources.
