The complete paper describes a service companys approach to the development and application of technology and innovative solutions to improve driving performance on the basis of extensive data analysis. Driving-performance data identified potential scenarios in which outcome-focused solutions can be used to influence driver behavior. Tailored approaches were implemented, ranging from vehicle enhancements to mobile applications.

The International Association of Oil and Gas Producers reports that land-transportation-related incidents historically have been the single largest cause of fatalities in its member company operations. Since 2000, such incidents have accounted for 22% of all work-related fatalities reported by the members.

The service company Schlumberger has a long-standing commitment to road safety, including mandatory driver safety training for all employees and contractors who drive on company business. The company has also invested in providing global journey-management centers to support company driving activities.

All automotive accidents involving the company in 2017 (including contractor automotive accidents) were analyzed in detail to determine the nature of these incidents. This information was used to target improvement programs in specific areas (Fig. 1). Automotive accidents involving a head-on collision or rollover were considered to have the highest potential for fatality, so these were specifically targeted for improvement initiatives.

The company adopted a risk-based approach for its global driving and journey-management standard to address both fundamental and risk-based driving controls. The comprehensive driver-management system consolidates company best practices with the aim of eliminating automotive accidents systematically through training, journey management, safe driving behavior, and compliance with the company code of conduct. Every company driver from field to office is required to take regular fit-for-purpose driver training that includes the use of simulators and driver-improvement monitors to provide real-time, in-vehicle driving performance feedback.

Driver Training. The company operates several global driving-training centers, where practical skills can be practiced in a variety of driving environments. Driver training is provided in light, medium, and heavy categories. The company uses driver-training simulators with multiple vehicle profiles, including light, heavy articulated, and nonarticulated vehicles to enable drivers to practice their basic and advanced skills in a safe environment.

Driver Behavior and Driver Improvement Monitoring. The company first installed driver-improvement monitors into vehicles in 1996 and has relied on this type of technology heavily ever since. However, many improvements have been made in the intervening years in terms of real-time data streaming and user interfaces allowing data to be used better through connected digital platforms to further improve driving performance.

The most-recent addition to the companys driving-safety toolkit was a driving app that uses sensors in the drivers mobile device to enable the recognition of vehicle movement. Drivers are provided with a customized dashboard and immediate feedback on driving performance to identify personalized areas of improvement. This app is easy to deploy, promoting driver engagement with immediate in-vehicle feedback to increase personal awareness of driving performance and warn of hazardous behaviors.

Another technology that has been implemented to improve driving performance is an advanced driver-assistance system (ADAS). This technology aids drivers by enhancing vehicle safety systems and reducing human error by alerting the driver of maximum speed limits, lane departure, and the proximity of pedestrians and other vehicles to prevent collisions.

Using a single digital platform for data collection and analysis has enhanced the value of data to the company significantly. For example, such data have been used to improve quality of road-hazard assessments and communicate these hazards to the driver.

Driver Engagement and Proactive Approach. Engaging drivers in a digitally enhanced world has involved using mobile technology to raise awareness of their own driving habits, using the sensors embedded in mobile devices to monitor performance and provide feedback in real time to the driver. After the trips, the application enables a customized personal dashboard to display the drivers performance for each trip. The data generated from these devices also provide the ability to perform advanced data analytics, essentially allowing a mobile device to be used as a software driving improvement monitor (DIM).

This allows anyone to benefit from a DIM merely by using an app on their mobile device, with no hardware installation required in the vehicle. The app serves as a source of input data connected to the digital platform to benefit data analytics for the entire fleet.

Journey Management. The company has developed an innovative journey management app that provides an algorithm for instantaneously calculating the risk of the trip, reinforcing engagement of the driver with the company driving controls. The combination of the journey-management mobile app along with the DIM app provides one more step in the evolution of journey management toward a truly smart solution. These apps both contribute data to, and provide data from, an enabled global connected digital platform that uses a comprehensive geography-based logic architecture. These apps provide data on road conditions, driver hours of service, weather conditions, visibility, light conditions, and nighttime hours for use in the trip risk assessment, without the need for data entry by the driver.

The 2017 data were analyzed to determine whether the range of features provided by ADAS could have prevented any of the collisions. The analysis revealed that implementation of each of the ADAS features could have resulted in the following improvement percentages:

This gave an overall potential reduction of 29% of all automotive accidents based on a full-scale implementation of the ADAS technology across the entire company and contracted vehicle fleet.

Hit Vehicle in Front. The front collision warning, the headway monitoring speed-limit-indication features of ADAS, increased driver-behavior awareness, and the companys journey-management process combined to provide prevention potential. These initiatives have shown a reduction in the automotive accident rate involving impacting vehicles in front by 31% when compared with the 2017 rate data.

Rollover, Run Off Road, or Sideswipe. The speed-limit-indication features of ADAS combined with increased driver-behavior awareness through the driver-improvement app and the journey-management process combined to provide prevention potential for automotive accidents involving rollovers.

The technologies applicable for the reduction of impacting vehicles from the front, with the addition of the lane-departure feature of ADAS, also contributed to a reduction in automotive accidents that involved a vehicle running off the road. A 42% reduction in these incidents was observed when comparing 2019 year-to-date data at the time of writing with 2017 data.

Head-On Collisions. Particular emphasis was placed on head-on collision prevention because this type of impact often results in severe or fatal injury. The lane-departure warning, the headway monitoring speed-limit-indication features of ADAS, increased driver-behavior awareness, and the journey-management process combined to provide prevention potential for such collisions. The results of these initiatives have shown a reduction in the accident rate involving these impacts by 60% when compared with 2017 data.

Hit From Behind. Another area of focus was to reduce the 20% of vehicle accidents involving vehicles being hit from behind. The company investigated how this type of impact could be reduced, taking best practices from the construction and utility industry sectors.

The use of such simple, low-technology steps as the fitting of bold fluorescent chevron striping to the rear of light company vehicles was implemented. The aim was to change the behavior of other road users toward the company vehicles in front of them both during the day and night. On the basis of the results of the preliminary trials, the initiative was implemented and has resulted in an overall reduction of almost one out of every three rear-end-collision events.

Collectively, these solutions have resulted in significant improvement to the companys driving performance. An overall reduction in automotive accidents of 17% has been observed when accident rates were compared from 2017 to the end of September 2019.

This Technology Is Big Oil’s Best Chance to Become Carbon Neutral – The Motley Fool

Many oil majors have now pledged some form of carbon neutrality in the coming decades in an effort to transform their brands from fossil fuel companies to all-encompassing energy companies. If successful, that could mean positive press, a diversified portfolio, and more effective recruitment efforts from an evolving talent pool.

There are many questions surrounding the feasibility of carbon neutrality for an industry that is inherently carbon-emitting -- but one technology has the potential to make oil and gas relevant for the long term.

Image Source: Getty Images.

Each oil major is handling the energy transition from fossil fuels to renewables a little differently. Royal Dutch Shell (NYSE:RDS.A) (NYSE:RDS.B) is leading the pack with its electrification efforts in solar and electric-vehicle (EV) charging stations. Norway's oil giant, Equinor ASA (NYSE:EQNR), sees the inevitable decline of its mature offshore assets in the North Sea so it's investing heavily into offshore wind energy. However, one solution that nearly all oil majors are investing in is Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) -- which is the process of capturing CO2 from high-emitting areas like drilling and production sites and transporting that CO2 for use in industrial processes or storing it where it won't enter into the atmosphere.

Unlike renewable energy investment, CCS is a method of reducing emissions that works hand in hand with the oil and gas industry. If developed at scale, CCS could drastically reduce emissions and justify the long-term benefits of oil and gas production.

For investors familiar with oil and gas majors, it should come as no surprise that ExxonMobil (NYSE:XOM) is the current leader in CCS solutions. Unlike other oil majors, Exxon has repeatedly doubled down on oil and gas investment and made only minor investments into renewable energy sources like biofuels. To its credit, the company has captured 40% of the cumulative CO2 captured over the last 50 years. In addition to developing ways to capture CO2 from industrial sources, Exxon is investing in carbonate fuel cells that reduce the energy needed to capture CO2 from natural gas-fired power plants and other industries. Exxon cites the power generation sector as having the most CO2 emissions by sector.

Exxon's investments in biofuels and CCS reflect its core belief that its purpose is to make oil and gas production as efficient and low-emission as possible, not necessarily divest from oil and gas into renewables.

European majors Shell, Equinor, and Total (NYSE:TOT) are pushing heavily into CCS with their Northern Lights consortium. Northern Lights aims to capture CO2 along the Norwegian continental shelf where a lot of offshore oil and gas production occurs.

The initial investments of the project are currently $673 million, with over half of that investment going toward Norwegian contractors. Assuming that the project is approved upon a final investment decision by the Norwegian government later this year, Phase 1 should be operational by 2024.

Northern Lights works hand in hand with other projects like Norway's Full-Scale Project, where independent companies build their own capture facilities and deliver CO2 to the Northern Lights consortium that handles the transportation and storage of the CO2. Norway's cement giant, Norcem Brevik AS, and power generation company Fortum Oslo Varme AS have both agreed to capture 400,000 tons of CO2 per year for delivery to Northern Lights via pipeline to the onshore terminal in ygarden on the west coast of Norway. According to Trude Sundset, CEO of Gassnova -- which is working with the Full-Scale Project -- CCS is popular in Norway because the country has a unique combination of investment expertise and 24 years of CCS experience, and there is a consistent interest from the Norwegian government.

ExxonMobil's investments into CCS should help the company be an even more efficient oil and gas operator -- but the joint efforts of European majors are even more impressive. Through a coordinated effort between Northern Lights, The Full-Scale Project, and European governments, Shell, Equinor, and Total are pushing into CCS with multiple stakeholders, which decreases the risk for each company while also increasing the chances of the project actually being successful since several parties have skin in the game.

CCS is just one form of green energy that oil majors are investing in, but right now, it's arguably the best solution for oil and gas companies to reach their carbon-neutral goals while staying within the scope of oil and gas.

Emerging Products: Breach and attack simulation technologies – SC Magazine

SC Labs tests seven breach and attack simulation products for August that will sharpen up your security assessments. (Source: Erikona, Getty Images)

Manual security testing cant keep pace with the threat landscape. Penetration testing takes time and its costly and labor-intensive. Its also fully dependent on the expertise of the penetration tester. Despite these inefficiencies, security pros need to test security posture and validate controls. Organizations have no way of knowing the efficacy of controls configurations or the performance of existing security investments without data from frequent assessments. Additionally, most compliance standards today mandate regular security testing as part of their frameworks.

Breach and attack simulation (BAS) technologies are the solution to the costly venture of manual testing. These tools answer the same questions as manual testing, except they do so more inexpensively, frequently and quickly. Security tools are irrelevant if they are misconfigured or underused and the breach and attack simulation BAS technologies we assessed this month have tremendous potential for profound return on investment thanks to the validation offered through security controls testing and security tool testing.

In addition to being extremely efficient, BAS tools are incredibly simple to deploy and manage. They have easy setup and centralized management to maximize the simplicity for security teams and administrators alike. Each product comes with numerous out-of-the-box assessments and reports, driving the user-friendliness and intuitive implementation. All of the templates are customizable to ensure the flexibility necessary to meet the needs of any organization.

A security tool that acts as a hacker constantly attacking a network and its infrastructure may seem risky. These tools are safe and offer valuable insight into vulnerabilities and attack vectors without compromising production environments. These products take security assessments a step further to offer remediation suggestions, prioritizations and guidelines to assist analysts with threat response. The broad use cases and potential gain from these solutions makes choosing to implement them a no-brainer. They capitalize on existing security investments and ensure that an organizations digital estate and human resources are secure.

Group Opener

This month we revisited the still emerging space of BAS technologies. These products have undergone a great deal of maturity and growth over the last year and are continuing the trend towards mainstreaming and transforming the security space. Security testing remains crucial for maintaining a strong security posture and good security hygiene. Misconfigured controls and underused tools are commonplace across industries and security testing offers a way to mitigate these vulnerabilities.

The costly and time-consuming nature of the previous go-to security testing methodologies have and continue to get outperformed by the cutting-edge technology breach and attack simulation tools offer, rendering manual controls testing and penetration testing more obsolete than ever. Reoccurring assessments and validation are not feasible with manual testing, notoriously expensive and time-consuming. The threat landscape we face today requires security testing thats continuous and repetitive. This need coupled with the obsolescence of manual penetration testing paves the way for breach and attack simulators.

BAS technology uses automation to drive continuous security control testing, exposing and identifying vulnerabilities and misconfigurations. Analysts may use this information to get more out of their existing security tools and validate environments are properly configured. You may think of these solutions as a personal trainer for your security environment as they strengthen whats already there and identify weaknesses, providing suggestions on how to bolster those vulnerabilities and mitigate risks. We continue to see these products increasingly implement purple team capabilities with extensive remediation guidance to streamline the detection and response process.

In addition to the breach and attack simulation use cases that target controls testing and product testing, these products also test the human element within organizations. Staff testing is a crucial component of security. An organization could have an airtight environment with all the top-of-the-line tools money can buy. None of that means anything if the human element opens the organization to attack and exploitation. These products deliver the insight necessary for security teams to ensure everyone on the team abides by the protocols in place.

The BAS tools we assessed this month continue to solidify their place within the cybersecurity realm and efficiently shore up human and technical vulnerabilities while offering a substantial return on investment of all security implementations. Security experts now consider these products a staple for any security toolset and will continue to transform the landscape and the way security teams operate.

Innovation, technology, and evidence-based treatment for spinal cord injury – Health Europa

Injuries to the spinal cord, whether they are caused by an acute trauma such as a car crash or disease or degeneration, can be both physically and psychologically debilitating. The World Health Organization (WHO) reports that between 250,000 and 500,000 people around the world will incur some type of spinal cord injury every year; with the majority of these injuries occurring as a result of preventable causes, including traffic collisions, accidental falls, or violence: of the 40 to 80 cases of spinal cord injury per million population estimated by the WHO, around 90% are attributed to traumatic causes.

The risk of mortality associated with spinal cord injury is correlated with the severity of the injury itself, as well as the availability of prompt treatment, with the methods used to transport an injured patient and the time which elapses between the onset of the injury and treatment also cited as factors. Overall, while the mortality risk of spinal injury drops after the first year, it remains higher than the average; with spinal cord injury patients between two and five times more likely to die prematurely than the general, uninjured population.

In addition to the aftereffects of the injury itself, patients may face heightened risk of secondary conditions, including:

These conditions may further incapacitate the patient and some may even increase the risk of premature death. In particular, as the global pandemic continues, the respiratory issues which may arise from spinal cord injury could render the patient vulnerable to the more severe effects of COVID-19.

Many patients who experience an injury to the spinal cord find their physical range of mobility becomes limited to a greater or lesser degree, with more severe injuries necessitating the adoption of assistive technology, changes to a patients home layout and lifestyle, and potentially the need to employ a caregiver.

These limitations and, depending on the range of external support available in the patients home country, the extensive costs they may incur can exacerbate the psychological distress which frequently accompanies any life-altering injury. Between 20% and 30% of spinal cord injury patients exhibit clinically significant symptoms of depression; and this in turn can inhibit the rate at which a patients health improves. The mental health of patients may be further affected by a relatively high rate of social and economic exclusion: young children who suffer a spinal cord injury are less likely to start school than their peers, and those who do attend school are less likely to advance academically; while more than 60% of adults worldwide with a spinal cord injury are unemployed.

As the role of digital and technological innovation in healthcare becomes more and more prominent, researchers are investigating the potential of an array of solutions which may aid the support and care of spinal cord injury patients. The South East Coast Ambulance Service NHS Foundation Trust in Sussex, UK, is trialling new protocols for the transport of spinal cord injury patients, in response to a growing body of evidence which appears to indicate that the traditional use of neck braces or collars may be more likely to cause additional harm to injured patients than previously thought. In addition to adopting manual in-line stabilisation and scoop stretcher transport for standard patients and a distinct comfort approach for non-standard patients that is, those who may be otherwise vulnerable, such as young children, pregnant women and the elderly paramedics will also equip non-standard patients with a lanyard designed to inform the hospital of their status.

Researchers at North Carolina State University (NCSU) have developed a software program based on Artificial Intelligence (AI) algorithms, which can be integrated into existing prosthetic limbs and which deploys computer vision and AI to respond to changes in terrain. The program is capable of recognising six key terrain types which may necessitate adjustment of the prosthetics movement protocols:

Associate Professor of electrical and computer engineering at NCSU Edgar Lobaton, a co-author on the study, said: Lower-limb robotic prosthetics need to execute different behaviours based on the terrain users are walking on. The framework weve created allows the AI in robotic prostheses to predict the type of terrain users will be stepping on, quantify the uncertainties associated with that prediction, and then incorporate that uncertainty into its decision making. We came up with a better way to teach deep learning systems how to evaluate and quantify uncertainty in a way that allows the system to incorporate uncertainty into its decision making: this is certainly relevant for robotic prosthetics, but our work here could be applied to any type of deep learning system.

An ongoing study based at the cole Polytechnique Fdrale de Lausanne in Switzerland has shown promising results in the use of AI and machine learning to identify the neurons which play a key role in the process of gait reacquisition. By singling out the specific neurons which are significant to recovery from spinal cord injury, the researchers have been able to prioritise these neurons for additional stimulation, enhancing the effectiveness of mobility treatments. Early stages of the trial, which saw paralysed mice subjected to spinal cord stimulation, were successful in restoring mobility to the rodents; while later tests on human patients at Lausanne University Hospital were similarly effective in accelerating the recovery process.

Up to 50% of patients with paraplegia may still have functional nerve fibres capable of sending faint sensation messages from the lower body to the brain, recent research from Neuroscience Research Australia (NeuRA) revealed. Associate Professor Sylvia Gustin, who led the study, has launched a new project which aims to deploy virtual reality (VR) technology to enhance and amplify those neural signals, in order to restore lower limb sensation. The programme, titled RESTORE, has received an AUS$2.5m grant from the New South Wales Ministry of Health; and seeks to combine physical lower extremity stimulus with virtual reality simulations, with the aim of retraining the brain to recognise the corresponding signals from the nerve fibres.

Gustin said: Its very exciting that we can explore how virtual reality can be used to help people regain feeling in their limbs. The outcomes of our research could lead to a cultural and scientific shift in terms of how we treat people with spinal cord injuries; and what they can expect from life after experiencing such a devastating injury.

Unilever and Algenuity discuss the potential of microalgae: ‘Algenuity’s technology unlocks a wealth of food applications’ – FoodNavigator.com

Unilever and Algenuity have announced a partnership that will enable Unilevers Food and Refreshment R&D team to leverage the biotech start-ups unique algae processing technology and ingredients to bring food made with microalgae to the mass market.

Algenuity, which specialises in developing microalgae for use in consumer products, will work with the R&D team within Unilevers Foods and Refreshment (F&R) division.

By 2050, the global population is set to reach 9.8bn people according to the UN. To feed this growing population, the world will need to produce 70% more food. However, this must be achieved within planetary boundaries for land and water use as well as food-related emissions.

Unilever has prioritised developing alternative protein sources like microalgae, which it says represents a significant step forwards in the critical shift needed to build an equitable and resilient food system.

Microalgae like Chlorella vulgaris the species cultivated by Algenuity are highly efficient sources of plant protein that can be produced year-round, at scale, and with a low land, water and carbon footprint.

In sustainability terms, the resource utilisation is highly favourable and cropping cycles are unlimited across the year. Chlorella grow very fast and reach high numbers when cultivated under controlled conditions in closed vessels. The use of these so-called fermentation systems allows for sustainable and safe production at large scale, as well as the efficient use of resources such as energy, fertilisers and water. Part of the partnership will involve a full life cycle assessment process and identification of further areas where sustainability measures can be further improved upon, Manfred Aben, Unilever VP Science & Technology for F&R, told FoodNavigator.

Microalgae also offers nutritional benefits, including a higher protein yield than many other plant-based protein sources. Microalgaes protein yield is reported at 415tons/Ha/year compared to 0.61.2tons/Ha/year for wheat, pulse legumes and soybean, according to data from Wageningen University.

Additionally, the presence of various bio-active components in microalgae provide an added health benefit. Microalgae contains healthy lipids, antioxidants and various micronutrients. Microalgae is a source of vitamins A, B1, B2, B6, B12, C and E and minerals such as potassium, iron, magnesium, calcium and iodine.

Microalgae like Chlorella vulgaris are a good source of essential macronutrients and micronutrients, including antioxidants and minerals such as iron. Microalgae also contain fibre, vitamins and essential amino acids. Our bodies cannot produce these critical nutrients, therefore its important we obtain them from our diet, and microalgae offers a sustainable way to do that, Dr Andrew Spicer, CEO of Algenuity, explained.

Dr Spicer told us that Algenuity was founded with the goal to focus on food-grade and scalable technology development.

The company decided to focus on Chlorella vulgaris a variety of microalgae known for its robustness and high protein content because of its potential to scale production through fermentation. And, as Chlorella vulgaris was already on the market in Europe ahead of 15 May 1997, the ingredient is not subject to Novel Food laws.

The decision to focus on Chlorella vulgaris was clear from day one: this type of algae has been safely consumed for years and has been commercially available as a food product in the EU since 1997, which brings advantages with respect to regulatory approval, Dr Spicer explained.

Very few microalgae are both approved as novel foods and fermentable and capable of being produced at sufficient scale to make an impact within the broader food and beverage industry, especially where displacement of animal sources of protein or less sustainable plant-based sources is a priority.

The nutritional and sustainability credentials of microalgae have made it a mainstay in the nutraceutical space.

However, food innovators face organoleptic challenges that can hinder the inclusion of microalgae in food formulations. Algaes high chlorophyll content, which gives plants their green colour and a bitter taste and smell, has proven a barrier to inclusion in mainstream diets.

So, how does Algenuity overcome the taste and smell issues associated with Chlorella vulgaris and other microalgae ingredients?

The varieties of Chlorella vulgaris are developed using non-GM plant breeding methodologies with screening for varieties that are deficient in chlorophyll. Just like autumn when chlorophyll is lost from the leaves of deciduous trees, when the chlorophyll is no longer made by Chlorella, Algenuity can identify variants that are yellow, lime, white and even red, Dr Spicer revealed.

This results in variants with different colours that are neutral in taste. These variants are stable and natural, and have the potential to unlock a wealth of opportunities in algae-based food applications. As such, as well as the plant-based protein, they also deliver natural pigments, which are almost always antioxidants.

The result is Algenuitys Chlorella Colours, whole algal-cell ingredients that provide a source of neutral-tasting, functional plant-based protein. The trademark protected Chlorella Colours platform offers natural, non-GM, allergen-free and clean label solutions.

Unilever believes Algenuitys technology opens up a variety of potential applications in the food and beverage sector.

Ensuring our products taste great is always a top priority. We want our consumers to enjoy our brands and products and to continue to choose them, Unilevers Aben explained.

The R&D collaboration will harness Algenuitys technology to neutralise the taste and smell of the microalgae, so we can provide consumers with healthy Unilever food products that still contain all the nutritional benefits of the protein. Chlorella is low fat, low sugar, high fibre, has very high-quality plant-based protein and an attractive combination of micronutrients. We believe that this process will unlock exciting possibilities and help facilitate the transition of microalgae into mainstream diets.

Microalgae innovation in the everyday food and beverage market is almost a blue-sky opportunity for Unilevers brands. Aben flags the potential across various established categories to deliver added nutritional benefits.

Microalgae offer huge potential to bring a nutritional benefit to foods we already know and love. For example, this may include baked goods, pasta, soups and sauces to name a few. Algenuitys Chlorella Colours technology allows the inclusion of microalgae as a food ingredient with a neutral taste and smell but with all the nutritional advantages... as well as emulsifying properties.

The partnership between Unilever and Algenuity will explore this further: Algenuity will provide the Chlorella ingredients for formulation and product development by the R&D team in Unilevers F&R division.

The partnership agreement will mean certain aspects of Algenuitys tech are exclusive to Unilever, Aben added.

Plant-based innovation is an important priority for Unilever. Plant-based products now make up around a third of the companys portfolio, including dairy-free and vegan options such as Hellmanns Vegan, Magnum Vegan and Vegetarian Butcher brand.

Unilever believes microalgae can help drive further plant-based product development thanks to its amino acid profile, something many plant-based formulations currently struggle with. Algae are a potential source of high-quality plant-based protein, which can be used in plant-based products to replace animal protein. These products will appeal to a variety of consumers; for vegans and vegetarians but also for flexitarians and meat-eaters looking to reduce their consumption of animal products.

Microalgae accumulate large amounts of high-quality proteins that are rich in essential amino acids. Like vitamins, essential amino acids are important building blocks that are needed for good health. However, the body cannot produce these on its own, making it essential for us to obtain them from our diet. In addition, microalgae are a good source of essential macronutrients, and micronutrients such as antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals like iron.

In the wake of overnight digital transformation, demand for technology skills training surges – ZDNet

Are we doing enough to get everyone -- IT and business professional alike -- geared up for the data analytics-driven economy ahead of us? No way. However, the Covid-19 crisis, with its massive pressure on organizations to digitally transform overnight, has caused business leaders to step up their training in critical technology areas.

That's the key takeaway from asurveyof 937 professionals, released by Netwrix, which tracked changes in IT priorities as a result of the crisis. The study, conducted in June 2020, showed that the IT skills shortage requires organizations to prioritize investment in IT staff education. The share of CIOs and IT directors that plan to invest in IT education has almost doubled since the onset of the crisis, from 20% in late 2019 to 38% now. In addition, with hiring freezes in place at many organizations, 31% of respondents see educating their current IT pros as a great option for addressing the skills shortage.

Still, we're a long way off from investing in or supporting the development of AI skills employers need for the years ahead. The Bipartisan Policy Center, a research arm of the U.S. Congress, just issued a report that stresses the need for greater AI education and training so public and private-sector organizations can stay ahead in the global economy. "Closing the AI talent gap requires a targeted approach to training, recruiting, and retaining skilled workers. This AI talent should ideally have a multidisciplinary skill set that includes ethics."

Competition for AI-skilled professionals is not limited to just technology companies, the report adds. It's "spanning almost all industries as businesses seek to leverage the strengths of AI. For instance, in the race to manufacture self-driving cars, the auto industry competes with Silicon Valley for the same experts."

The good news is that those professionals seeking to build up their AI resumes need not wait for corporate and government actions. There are many free or low-cost resources available from the world's leading universities that cover many key aspects of AI, machine learning, deep learning and natural language processing.

Lukas Spranger, a data scientist and software engineer, has been compiling a growing list of online courses over at the KDNuggets site. These include the following:

Interestingly, along with the courses mentioned above, there is also a no-code way to deploy an AI model -- that is, without writing a single line of code by employing open-source and cloud-based resources. In a recent post, Francesco Palma walks through a process for classifying pictures of flowers, using Giotto, a no-code AI platform.

The bottom line is that demand for advanced technology skills will keep growing as organizations increasingly rely on technology and digital resources to compete in an incredibly fierce global economy. Bachelors and masters degrees earned in one's twenties will only go so far -- what is happening is people will be assembling their own skillsets through ongoing learning, available through an abundance of online courses and skills refreshes.

Dallas sports technology duo created a robotic quarterback. The NFL is catching on – WFAA.com

Igor Karlicic and Bhargav Maganti are the co-founders of Monarc, a Dallas-based sports technology company.

While developing the worlds first robotic quarterback, Igor Karlicic and Bhargav Maganti never anticipated their invention would be sidelined by a pandemic, virtually shutting down practice time.

They are finding that NFL players are using their technology as a way to practice at home while socially distancing.

Karlicic and Maganti are the co-founders of Monarc, a Dallas-based sports technology company. After years of development, Monarc released The Seeker, a robotic training device with the capabilities of a quarterback.

The Seeker uses a tracking device to throw the football, creating realistic drills for wide receivers, Karlicic said.

Click here for a gallery of more photos of the device in action.

We say (robotic) quarterback because it allows people to train alone for the first time ever, Karlicic said.

Current NFL players such as tight ends George Kittle, Hunter Henry, T.J. Hockenson, and Eric Ebron as well as wide receiver Mohamed Sanu are all using The Seeker.

Another potential NFL connection for the device is James Proche, a Dallas native who was the leading receiver for Southern Methodist University last season, and a sixth-round draft pick for the Baltimore Ravens.

Proche said he first used The Seeker while playing for SMU. He likes the device because it creates game-like situations, and it can be programmed to create certain throws with the football that arent possible on normal machines.

Point of care technologies in focus – Health Europa

The response of healthcare systems and policymakers to the COVID-19 pandemic has sharpened focus on infection prevention and control at the point of care (POC), a key concern within healthcare environments. HEQ explores developments in point of care technologies and practices which may help protect patients and staff from the spread of disease.

A 2019 study focusing on the use of digital technology to support point of care diagnostics and treatment in rural and resource-limited areas found that the integration of novel digital technology solutions into clinical and ambulatory settings improved the ability of care practitioners to reach an initial diagnosis. The research, which was conducted in rural West Virginia, analysed the use of technology first assessment protocols in diagnosing and determining treatment for common acute and chronic cardiovascular conditions. Physicians participating in the study reported that the use of digital solutions, including wireless vital sign monitors and smartphone-compatible pocket ultrasound devices, improved their ability to make prompt, accurate diagnoses of conditions such as atrial defibrillation and heart failure.

Six NHS hospital trusts across the UK have implemented the Scan4Safety initiative, a point of care barcode scanning programme overseen by NHSX. Scan4Safety equips patients with a unique barcode on a wristband, which is then scanned at each stage of the care pathway, in order to document their treatment, the equipment used which is also scanned and the corresponding patient and location data recorded and the staff members responsible for their care. The process offers evident benefits in terms of inventory management and oversight, as well as reducing the amount of staff hours spent on stock management, with up to 140,000 clinical hours returned to patient care across the six trusts. Trusts which have adopted the programme report observing measurable improvements to patient safety through accurate recall and full traceability; decreased risk of drug error; and improvements to routine patient observations.

Lord David Prior, chair of NHS England, said: Barcodes are commonplace in most industries and been around for a long time. It is time they became commonplace in the NHS. They offer traceability, efficiency savings and greater patient safety. We live in a world in which digital technology has already fundamentally changed the banking industry, the retail industry, and many others. It offers a similar opportunity in healthcare. Barcodes are a small but essential part of that revolution. We need to embrace it, now.

The healthcare sector has recorded significant improvements to patient management, particularly in terms of access to diagnostic services, following the implementation and digitalisation of point of care testing facilities; with the most drastic improvements reported in areas with limited clinical resources or minimal access to laboratory infrastructure.

When left unsupported by digital innovation, increasing the implementation of infection testing at the point of care while it appears to be the optimal solution for patients, in principle risks placing undue strain on healthcare services which are already wildly overstretched and underfunded. Analogue testing protocols intensify the demand for supply management and quality assurance, while necessitating additional staff training. It is therefore imperative to integrate digital technologies into point of care testing systems to alleviate the burden on frontline staff and maintain high quality standards in addition to the benefits digital innovation can offer for staff welfare and morale, the safety of both frontline workers and patients can be shored up through the provision of remote testing and diagnosis facilities, where these are feasible.

The ongoing shift towards digitalisation in healthcare systems has had documented advantages both in terms of data collection and in terms of the storage and analysis of patient data and test results. The implementation of connected diagnostics through algorithms, Internet of Things (IoT) technologies and machine learning systems has enabled healthcare professionals to benefit from standardised analysis and interpretation of test results, meaning treatment and care pathways become more consistent and the risk of human error is minimised. Connected point of care devices can be monitored remotely and programmed to issue alerts in the event of data trends which may indicate outbreaks of disease or infection.

In addition to streamlining the flow of data, the integration of digital technologies within the health and care sectors has had a significant impact on the security and reliability of data storage. More and more healthcare providers around the world are adopting Electronic Health Records (EHRs), which digitally store patient and population data and can be shared within the bounds of data protection and anonymity between services. The ability to view a patients medical history instantly has proved valuable for emergency services, as well as care providers, with immediate access to patient data allowing for better preparation on the part of the receiving hospital; hospitals which have implemented EHRs also report smoother transition of patients between departments and a reduced need for extraneous tests. Meanwhile, EHRs enable the streamlined sharing of anonymised and disaggregated data in research settings, thereby facilitating data collection and analysis in clinical research.

In principle, EHRs minimise the siloing of clinical data however, this is only truly the case if they are widely integrated in healthcare systems. The Finnish health sector can boast 100% EHR coverage across hospitals and other clinical settings, with a single centralised archive storing patient records from around the country; however, many other EU Member States operate EHR programmes at a regional level, meaning essential patient data may not be compatible or transferrable between states or municipalities.

Technology key to 30 Israeli medical innovations to fight COVID-19 – Cleveland Jewish News

The coronavirus crisis is first and foremost about people.

People stuck at home, people out of work. People sick with the virus, people caring for them. People canceling dream weddings and vacations, people deciding public-health policies.

Technology is also about people.

In Israel, a powerhouse of innovative technology, people are busy inventing and adapting technologies to ease the virus burden.

Technology has a great role to play in solving and helping us get through this crisis, from diagnosis, mitigation, patient tracking, contamination prevention and protecting medical staff, to education and exercise for the homebound, OurCrowd CEO Jon Medved said.

The economic and logistic limitations of current assessment and testing methods have motivated many Israelis to find better solutions.

BATM is scaling up production of a rapid-diagnostic kit that detects coronavirus infection from saliva samples within 50 minutes. The kit is compatible with equipment used to do the current PCR test for diagnosing COVID-19 in a matter of hours.

Diagnostics.ai is working toward complete automation of PCR testing for COVID-19 using artificial intelligence. Now being tested at Kings College Hospital NHS London and soon at CLIA labs in the United States, the pcr.ai method would enable doubling the number of samples tested per day without additional staffing needs.

The Defense Ministrys Directorate for Defense Research and Development is working with Vocalis Health to identify a unique vocal fingerprint of virus carriers based on voice samples from confirmed coronavirus patients and a control group from the general population. The remote technology also could help monitor recovery of COVID-19 patients.

Researchers from Technion-Israel Institute of Technology and Rambam Health Care Campus say they can dramatically increase COVID-19 testing capacity by pooling multiple samples in a single test tube.

MyEleanor, a voice bot and virtual care manager from MyndYou, can call individuals or act as a hotline to assess risk, manage symptoms and provide guidance. On each call, AI-driven voice analytics can detect subtle changes in health and trigger proactive interventions.

An app from K Health uses AI to give free COVID-19 risk assessment and primary care advice based on U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines. Symptomatic or high-risk users may be connected to a physician for a free 14-day chat-based consultation.

Geneyx is working with hospitals in Israel, China and Italy to determine whether certain genetic mutations may lessen or worsen individual COVID-19 infections. The company intends to create a database to help predict the severity of each patients case.

VocalZoom autonomous sensors for Industry 4.0 applications may be repurposed for noninvasive skin scans to detect possible COVID-19 symptoms in hospitals and mass transit hubs.

RADLogics has adapted its AI-powered medical-image analysis solution to automatically and accurately detect and classify COVID-19 infection in chest CT images of patients believed to be infected. The solution has been deployed in China, Russia and Italy to measure the percentage of affected lung volume.

Air Doctor, an app connecting travelers with local doctors, now offers a constantly updated list of COVID-19 testing sites and regional rules in 42 countries across five continents.

An under-mattress contact-free monitoring solution from EarlySense allows hospitals to monitor and analyze COVID-19 patients breathing patterns for subtle changes and signs of respiratory distress.

The OLO blood analyzer from Sight Diagnostics performs rapid automated testing of COVID-19 patients samples using a self-contained cartridge to collect two drops of blood from a venous or finger prick sample. The cartridge is inserted in the OLO unit, which provides full blood count results in minutes via computer vision and AI. (OLO has point-of-care regulatory approval in Europe and Israel, but not yet in the United States.)

A TeleICU technology from Clew Medical now being deployed in two Israeli hospitals and tested in two U.S. facilities uses AI-based predictive analytics to expand ICU capacity and resources while protecting frontline care workers. It includes AI-based algorithms to identify respiratory deterioration in advance, and machine learning models for proactively managing disease severity and workload.

Sweetch AI-powered mobile health platform, developed for diabetes patients, is enabling remote monitoring, management and intervention for COVID-19 patients with chronic diseases.

Hospitals are using the RenalSense Clarity RMS platform to monitor critical COVID-19 patients urine flow remotely and continuously.

A robotic process automation solution from Kryon allows for automated reporting of COVID-19 testing results to the Israeli Ministry of Health from Maccabi Healthcare Services, one of Israels national HMOs. Manual uploading was causing huge backlogs and human errors. The streamlined process is available free of charge to health care providers anywhere.

We have no reliable clinical data about any drug useful in reducing severity and mortality in COVID-19 patients, said Dr. Eyal Leshem, director of geographic medicine at Sheba Medical Center. Perhaps in several weeks or months we will know what drugs may be useful.

In Israel, about a dozen existing drugs are being tested for their effectiveness alone or combined. Israel-based Teva Pharmaceutical Industries is donating millions of its hydroxychloroquine sulfate tablets to U.S. hospitals for testing as a potential treatment for COVID-19.

As for vaccine candidates, Studies are in various stages and well have to wait patiently for safety and efficacy trials to be completed within one to one and a half years, Leshem said.

Antibody therapy, immunotherapy and immunization options are being investigated in many Israeli companies, universities and research institutions.

Kamada is developing a polyclonal immunoglobulin treatment for severely ill COVID-19 patients, using purified blood and plasma samples from recovered patients. Kamada previously developed serums for treating rabies and Zika.

How does technology impact teenagers brains? We still dont have enough research to know. – Vox.com

As the US continues to struggle to contain the Covid-19 pandemic and social distancing recommendations remain in place, millions of US children and adolescents arent expected to attend school in-person in the fall meaning theyll often be stuck inside their homes and using the internet as a primary means of human connection. The situation has resurfaced a long-standing, difficult-to-answer question: Is technology going to ruin my teenagers brain?

For years, some have blamed the growing rate of teenagers suffering from mental health issues in the US on the drastic increase in how much theyre engaging with digital devices compared to previous generations but there isnt much hard evidence to back up those claims.

Its true that were seeing unprecedented levels of teenagers using digital devices some 95 percent of US teens have access to a smartphone, and 45 percent say they are online almost constantly, according to a 2018 Pew poll. And during the same period of time that internet and smartphone use has increased for a generation of young people, the suicide rate in the US has also steadily increased (across all ages overall), with a disproportionate increase in the rate of tween girls aged 10 to 14 in particular.

But the rise of teenagers use of social media at the same time that depression rates have been going up shows correlation, not causation. Meaning, theres no evidence to prove that teenagers use of social media is why were seeing this increase in depression instead of any number of other confounding factors like their family life, economic conditions, or anything else. To know if thats the case or not, we need a lot more comprehensive research that isolates these other factors.

Considering how high the stakes are, answering this question is important and pressing.

A new report from the nonprofit Common Sense Media, a national advocacy group focused on digital access and safety for children and families, reflects the urgency and state of the conversation. The report, written by UC Irvine child psychology professor Candice Odgers and Common Sense research director Michael Robb, attempted to review the existing research about the effects of tech use on teens, draw conclusions about the overall risks and benefits, and suggest recommendations for parents, educators, and the public. But one of the biggest conclusions from Common Senses report is that the existing research doesnt tell us enough, and we need more refined scientific evidence to know anything conclusive about the effects of social media on teenagers mental health.

In the meantime, its important to understand what the concerns around the impact of social media on teenage mental health are and what to consider when it comes to figuring out how to help teens have a balanced relationship with technology, especially while living through a pandemic.

Jennifer Siebel Newsom, first partner to Californias Governor Gavin Newsom, who contributed an essay to the report, wrote that she understands digital devices like tablets and laptops are necessary tools for getting an education during Covid-19 school shutdowns. But she says shes also worried about the effects of these devices on children and teens mental health.

[A]s a mom, I cant ignore the reality in my home. Distance learning for my four kids this spring opened the floodgates to media and its adverse effects. What started with using Zoom and Gmail for homework assignments became internet searches bringing up age-inappropriate information and misinformation, wrote Siebel Newsom. All of a sudden my eldest were sneaking off to their rooms, or hiding devices under their beds at night.

Both Siebel Newsom and others who contributed to the report, like former Democratic presidential candidate and entrepreneur Andrew Yang, want to see technology and media companies accept more responsibility for their impact on children, even if we dont yet have research showing exactly what that impact is. Yang, in particular, called for the government to drastically fund more research and step in, if needed, to incentivize tech companies to educate children, rather than entertain them, to collect ad dollars. (The childrens digital advertising market is expected to be worth $1.7 billion by 2021, according to a report from PwC.)

Right now, the interests of parents are directly at odds with the interests of the technology companies, wrote Yang. Theyre monetizing our attention and profiting off of our time. As they say, the addictive nature of smartphones is a feature, not a bug. We parents are outgunned and at a total loss.

Newsoms and Yangs comments draw on much larger anxieties in the American public about what kids are doing with their time online and how this will impact their development.

So, while theres no shortage of concern about how much time adolescents are spending on their phones, what does the research actually say?

Unfortunately, not enough for us to draw any quantitative, evidence-based conclusions and thats why we should start doing more research in earnest now. The reports meta-analysis of the most up-to-date research on social media and depression revealed a mix of small positive, negative, and mostly neutral links between adolescents use of technology like social media and their mental health.

Authors of the report looked at two large-scale reviews of existing research on the topic published earlier this year and found results associating adolescents mental health and use of digital technology inconsistent even when an association was present, it accounted for less than 1 percent of the variation.

This failure to find a stronger link between teen depression and technology use is not surprising, Odgers and Robb write, given that mental health disorders emerge from a complex set of social, genetic, and experiential factors, which have varying influence across development and situations. Still, small effects can be meaningful, the report states, but with existing evidence we have no way to separate cause from effect in social media research with adolescents.

If researchers wanted to actually separate cause from effect, we would need research that asks more specific questions and is backed by harder data, as my Vox colleague Brian Resnick has previously explained. Self-reported surveys on teens well-being can be biased so another option would be for scientists to use brain scans showing neurological development over time to track the tangible effects of social media on childrens well-being.

While there is at least one large study like this underway, funded by the National Institutes of Health, it will be several years before we see its results. Until then, researchers are asking for more granular data from companies like Apple and Google to help them understand exactly how kids are using their devices. Are they bingeing on Fortnite or watching educational YouTube videos? So far, tech companies like Apple largely havent given researchers the option to see peoples screen-time data that shows how much they use different apps on their phones even with their consent.

With all this in mind, the report calls for the government and other groups to fund more research on this topic.

While the jurys still out on exactly how social media impacts teens, the report does offer some child psychologist-backed recommendations for teen tech use.

An important one: Its not how much teens use apps that matters but how theyre using those apps. In essence, its quality over quantity. Examples of quality use include a teen using multiplayer video games to socialize with their peers and build stronger friendships, the report argues. Another example of positive tech use is when first-year college students use their smartphones to maintain close contact with their parents. One study cited in the report showed these students were better at bouncing back from outside stress than their peers who stayed in touch with their families less often.

The report stressed that while many families have instituted rules about how much their kids use technology, the fights parents are having with their children over this are actually making things worse. In fact, conflict over screens is likely to be more harmful to adolescents mental health than screen time itself, Common Senses report states.

While theres a lot we still dont know about technology and its impact on teens mental health, its an important issue thats only become more serious during the pandemic. Thats why we need better research before jumping to any conclusions.
