For many, fitness trackers have become indispensable tools for monitoring how many calories they've burned in a day. But for those living with obesity, who are known to exhibit differences in walking ...

Researchers have developed a new algorithm that combines two processes for personalizing robotic prosthetic devices to both optimize the movement of the prosthetic limb and - for the first time - also ...

A new algorithm enabled smartwatch fitness trackers to more accurately estimate energy expenditure by individuals with obesity. In two studies conducted in a total of 52 people for 1838 minutes in a ...

A group of researchers have developed an algorithm designed to prevent threat actors from disrupting quantum communication channels across an entire network. Researchers from Italy's Politecnico di ...

An automated machine learning program has been able to identify potential cardiovascular incidents or fall and fracture risks based on bone density scans taken during routine clinical testing. An ...

BU researchers develop a brain-inspired algorithm that can help people with hearing loss pick out conversations in noisy, crowded spaces. When a group of friends gets together at a bar or gathers for ...

Two new advanced predictive algorithms use information about a person's health conditions and simple blood tests to accurately predict a patient's chances of having a currently undiagnosed cancer, ...

When Edsger W. Dijkstra published his algorithm in 1959, computer networks were barely a thing. The algorithm in question found the shortest path between any two nodes on a graph, with a variant ...

When an outbreak of an infectious disease begins to spread, policymakers face an unenviable challenge. They must decide when to intervene and how forcefully, knowing that their choices carry both ...
