This Biotech Discovery Means You’ll Never Need a Painful Flu Shot Again
The worst part about getting vaccinated is the shot. I don’t care how much of a badass you are, it’s still painful and annoying. But now a group of researchers in Japan have tested a new “dissolving needle” that is basically a painless patch that you stick to your arm. And it works.

Meizu envía las invitaciones a la presentación del M2 y contienen un Nokia 1110

Meizu M2 Invitación evento

El mercado chino de los terminales cada vez obtiene más relevancia, tanto incluso siendo Meizu un perfecto imitador de los conocidos iPhone aunque a precio reducido, especificaciones muy acertadas y Android, por supuesto.

Dicha firma después de la presentación de su nuevo terminal, el Meizu M2 Note, está comenzando a enviar las primeras invitaciones para un evento que se celebrará el 29 de julio, y que tendrá como objetivo la presentación del Meizu M2.

Esto no es nada inusual, pero sí la forma que los participantes han recibido la original invitación y que podéis estar viendo en la imagen superior.

Invitación a la presentación del Meizu M2 ¿con un Nokia 1110?

Sí, por muy raro que parezca es completamente cierto, y basándonos en los detalles de AndroidHeadlines tendría su explicación lógica, que en un primer momento y para muchos sería extraño.

El hecho de incluir un Nokia 1110 simboliza la calidad, el potencial y el precio en la época del antiguo teléfono, por lo que Meizu quiere hacer un símil a comparar con su nuevo terminal, el M2. También se habla de un posible acuerdo con la firma finlandesa ya que está buscando un gran fabricante para su vuelta al mercado de los smartphones Android.

Sea como fuere, el Meizu M2 llegaría con un panel de 5 pulgadas, 2 GB de RAM, 8 y 16 GB de almacenamiento interno, procesador MediaTek MT6753 octa-core de 64 bits y una potente cámara de 13 megapíxeles en su parte trasera. Si todo es correcto, vendría preinstalado Android Lollipop con la capa de personalización FlymeOS.

Nada está confirmado, todo son rumores, pero sí es cuanto menos curioso el método de invitar al público a la presentación del nuevo terminal con un cuidado paquete y un Nokia 1110 dentro, que una vez encendido muestra la ubicación y fecha programada del evento.

Esperaremos pacientemente al 29 de julio. Una vez presentado el terminal quizás conozcamos más detalles o incluso el motivo por el que mandar invitaciones mediante el clásico Nokia 1110.

¿Significaría la unión o un acuerdo entre Meizu y Nokia?

¿Y tú que piensas? Pásate por Meizu envía las invitaciones a la presentación del M2 y contienen un Nokia 1110 para dejar tu huella.

The 3 Elements The Internet Of Things Needs To Fulfil Real Value

Posted on by

Consider the following example.
You are going to hospital for a hip operation. The chances are, very soon, your surgeon will be wearing a pair of Google Glasses Enterprise Edition (or something similar) and the replacement joint will have been 3D printed with embedded sensors in-situ following a 3D scan and X-ray. Everything conducted during surgery itself will be transmitted directly to your EHR (Electronic Health Records) in real-time via the wearable device(s) your surgeon has. The sensors in the 3D printed hip joint are already recording your vital signs, again in real-time.
You leave the hospital, and are given a recovery plan together with another wearable device, much like a JawboneUP wristband. The sensors in your hip are now connected to the wristband which also monitors your movements, and that data is transmitted to your patient records for your local GP who can observe how your recovery is going in line with the recovery plan. Your wristband also ‘reminds’ you when it’s time to take your meds, and via RFID/ Near Field Comms will warn you if you’re about to reach for the wrong bottle.
All that data is constantly fed to the GP who can alter your recovery plan in line with your progress, or even combine it with other patients who have been through a similar procedure and adjust automatically, in real-time, according to trends which may benefit you even more.
Your medical insurance and future premiums will also be adjusted according to how your recovery is going, whether you stick or deviate to your planned convalescence.
Now we get into deeper connected territory.
Your utilities company could be made aware of your situation, and via your patient wristband and interface to your smart home, adjust your electricity and gas plan in line with your limited mobility. No point having a smart home and a dumb utilities provider. Smart thermostats, smart lights, smart household appliances all can switch on and off and learn your patterns as you recover. Your wristband could switch off the TV for example if you take a snooze on the couch by monitoring your inactivity.
As you recover, you become more mobile. Your connected car transmits it’s location as you drive, anything ‘smart’ that is geofenced becomes activated as you draw near, again switching on the heating at the right temperature in advance before you reach home. In fact, your car may not even allow you to drive at all because the associated triggers in your recovery haven’t been set to allow you to, so it drives you instead.
Your house and smart possessions will be collectively more intelligent than you by 2020, but the experience will become hyper-personalized.
In the above lifestyle example, consider the industries that were actually connected by it all:
Medical
Pharma
Insurance
Consumer Wearables and Homeware
Utilities
Automotive
The data itself is the key to unlocking a number of benefits, and how we act on that data.
