An automated monitoring system for home health care has been designed for an experimental house in Japan called the Welfare Techno House (WTH). Automated electrocardiogram (ECG) measurements can be taken while in bed, in the bathtub, and on the toilet, without the subject's awareness, and without using body surface electrodes. In order to evaluate this automated health monitoring system, overnight measurements were performed to monitor health status during the daily lives of both young and elderly subjects.

World-making for a future with sentient AI.
Br J Soc Psychol
January 2025
Sentience Institute, New York City, New York, USA.
The ways people imagine possible futures with artificial intelligence (AI) affects future world-making-how the future is produced through cultural propagation, design, engineering, policy, and social interaction-yet there has been little empirical study of everyday people's expectations for AI futures. We addressed this by analysing two waves (2021 and 2023) of USA nationally representative data from the Artificial Intelligence, Morality, and Sentience (AIMS) survey on the public's forecasts about an imagined future world with widespread AI sentience (total N = 2401). Average responses to six forecasts (exploiting AI labour, treating AI cruelly, using AI research subjects, AI welfare, AI rights advocacy, AI unhappiness reduction) showed mixed expectations for humanity's future with AI.

Objectives: Innovative technology at work can lead to stress and has been linked with adverse work and health consequences. This study aims to examine the association of techno-insecurity and techno-strain with mental well-being in different age and occupational groups.
Methods: We utilized a nationally representative survey of the working population and restricted our analyses to 2,814 employees who reported being engaged with new technology.
Enabling quantitative comparison of wastewater surveillance data across methods through data standardization without method standardization.

Wastewater surveillance for COVID-19 and other pathogens has expanded globally. Rapid development and availability of various assays has facilitated swift adoption of wastewater surveillance in localities with diverse requirements. However, it presents challenges in comparing data due to methodological variations.

Article Synopsis
- Zika virus infection can lead to serious health issues like Guillain-Barré syndrome and birth defects, prompting the need for effective vaccines for prevention.
- Researchers created a plant-based vaccine that effectively produced Zika virus proteins in Nicotiana benthamiana, showing promise in provoking immune responses in mice even at low doses.
- The vaccine not only enhanced immunity with an adjuvant but also allowed for the transfer of protective antibodies from immunized mother mice to their offspring, offering protection against Zika and Dengue viruses.
Managing changes in the environment of human-robot interaction and welfare services.

School of Engineering Science, Lappeenranta-Lahti University of Technology LUT, Lahti, Finland.
The purpose of this study was to investigate decision-makers' views on changes that robotics will create in welfare services. The purpose was also to discover what the opportunities and challenges are in human-robot interaction during these changes and how to manage these changes. As a research method, an online survey was used.
