New Rule for Medical Imaging: AI Inside
Before it became fashionable to digitize medical records, medical imaging had already moved to digital with a passion. Long the gold standard for non-invasive detection and analysis of the inner workings of the human body, medical imaging technology has relentlessly advanced by boosting resolution, expanding data dimensionality from pixels to voxels to streams of moving images, and miniaturizing systems to...

The Intelligent Factory Transformation Is a Journey, Not a Destination
As the Greek philosopher Heraclitus observed, about 2500 years ago: the only constant in life is change. These days, when we envision the transformation to intelligent factories of the future, human-powered technology is driving that change. Digital transformation on the factory floor is debunking a long-held fallacy that technology enables change and humans hinder it. The reality is that the...
