Nooit meer ziek, de toekomst van uw gezondheid (Koen Kas). Een teaser in 50 s...Koen Kas
In Nooit meer ziek katapulteer ik de lezer naar een toekomst met een dokter die niet langer God is. Dit boek introduceert een geneeskunde die ons niet langer alleen probeert te genezen maar ons ook gezond houdt, of ooit zelfs ‘beter’ maakt. Van de 100 euro die we vandaag uitgeven aan gezondheidszorg besteden we immers niet één euro aan ziektepreventie, maar gaat er gemiddeld 90 euro naar onze laatste twee levensjaren. Volkomen belachelijk. Wat als we die verhouding omdraaien? Daarover gaat dit boek.
Over de toekomst van de geneeskunde waarin onze persoonlijke biologische code en andere biomerkers een cruciale rol spelen.
Over boeiende technologische en medisch inzetbare ontwikkelingen zoals onzichtbare sensoren, smartphone-apps, slimme sociale media, games en het internet en hoe die allemaal zullen samenwerken om ons gezond te houden.
Over nooit meer ziek zijn en aanbevelingen om daar te geraken
Redesigning healthcare, biohacking our lives (IMEC ITF2014)Koen Kas
On our way to redesign healthcare, we will learn to combine different layers of our biological code (now in reading but soon in writing mode), data from visible and invisible sensors, and the connected Internet of Bodies/Things. These guardian angels will open up unseen opportunities for the way we deal with ourselves in health and disease. With DNA soon becoming the new software, combining biology, electronics, attractive design & smart communication will provide the tools to (bio)hack our lives.
Appropriate use of different (nano)technologies will convert us into health consumers, with our doctors as (virtual) coaches. This will move us away from current curative healthcare to precise, preventive and even augmented healthcare. But smart technologies and the data they generate, are just a tool. When not trusted by the established care provider, when not integrated and available in a personal data platform, healthcare will only be pseudo modernized. The real magic happens when these tools allow you to engage and change behaviour. But even in a rapidly automating world, we can’t automate such change. Or can we?
We cannot digitize disease prevention, or can we?
These slides show a few examples pointing out what becomes possible when we redesign sickcare into healthcare.
New use of technology will allow us to deal with our genome as a predisposition teller. Data from visible and invisible sensors, and the connected Internet of Things, will lead to Actionable insights. Together, these guardian angels will open up unseen opportunities for the way we deal with ourselves in health and disease. They will influence our behaviour to avoid us getting sick, and they will turn our doctors into (virtual) health coaches.
But even more importantly, innovative business models will start to bring delight into the health ecosystem. This will provide the ammunition to go back to where we have been in some places of China, centuries ago, where the doctor was being paid only as long as the citizens in his village remained healthy.

Following the recent mass migration to the cloud, organizations are embracing best practices for architecting and securing the cloud. However, it has not been an easy journey and many have made mistakes along the way. - Abacus Technologies
Looking back on 2020, we can honestly say it was a year like no other. We faced wildfires, hurricanes, a raucous election season and, of course, a pandemic that forced millions of people to work, socialize and attend school from home.
Digital Transformation remains a top priority for this year, with remote work, digital transaction, customer interactions, and business collaboration all requiring flexible, personalized solutions. Cloud is the essential orchestrator and backbone behind everything digital.
Why is Cloud Computing Important for Companies that Want to Deploy IoT Soluti...Abacus Technologies
In today's digital world, it seems like all applications or devices connect with the cloud to store or process data and perform various tasks on at least some level.
In a survey by Menlo Security of 200 IT managers, 40% of respondents said they are facing increasing threats from cloud applications and internet of things (IoT) attacks because of this trend.
There's a joke among non-techie individuals about not knowing what the cloud is nor what it does exactly. You may or may not have an exact idea of how the cloud works, and that's fine because the aim of this piece is on the job. Cloud engineers (CEs) know exactly how the cloud works, including all of its intricacies, from the beginning to end. This is because the role of the cloud engineer is to design how cloud infrastructures work and bring them to fruition.
IT professionals with expertise in app development security, cloud computing, and risk management will have the most job opportunities this year and beyond, according to a new analysis of jobs data.
As remote work continues to be a pillar of our new normal, organizations are realizing that the security environment has dramatically changed. Securing remote work isn’t solely the job of the IT team, however — it also requires trust. Senior leadership needs to be able to trust from the beginning that their teams have secured systems for remote work. Customers need to trust that their data is protected. Employees need to trust that there are systems in place to support them. - Abacus Technologies
The transition to the cloud is underway at most organizations. As more people rely on cloud infrastructure and applications, security teams have to rethink several aspects to security, from the structure of their security operations center to software-as-a-service control
The dynamic nature of hybrid cloud requires a corresponding willingness to regularly review and update your strategy and its execution. consider this practical advice on smart moves.
Tech is never perfect, and there will be times when tech teams will face challenges. However, by preparing for potential bugs and technocal issues, you can reduce the amount of time lost or damage done when one pops up.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Highly sensitive sensors show promise in

Ultrathin crack-based sensors operate on a principle similar
to a spider's sense organ and display remarkable sensitivity
to movement
February 18, 2020
American Institute of Physics
People rely on a highly tuned sense of touch to manipulate
objects, but injuries to the skin and the simple act of wearing
gloves can impair this ability. Scientists report the
development of a new tactile-enhancement system based on
a highly sensitive sensor. The sensor has remarkable
sensitivity, allowing the wearer to detect the light brush of a
feather. This crack-based sensor was inspired by a spider's

FULL STORY
People rely on a highly tuned sense of touch to manipulate
objects, but injuries to the skin and the simple act of
wearing gloves can impair this ability. Surgeons, for
example, find that gloves decrease their ability to
manipulate soft tissues. Astronauts are also hampered by
heavy spacesuits and find it difficult to work with equipment
while wearing heavy gloves.
In this week's issue of Applied Physics Reviews, by AIP Publishing,
scientists report the development of a new tactile-enhancement system
based on a highly sensitive sensor. The sensor has remarkable sensitivity,
allowing the wearer to detect the light brush of a feather, the touch of a
flower petal, water droplets falling on a finger and even a wire too small to
be seen.
The crack-based sensor used in this device was inspired by a spider's slit
organ, an idea first proposed by other researchers. This pattern of cracks in
the exoskeleton allows the spider to detect small movements. In the same
way, the ultrathin crack-based strain sensor, or UCSS, uses cracks formed
in a thin layer of electrically conductive silver.
The UCSS is fabricated from several layers of flexible polymer film coated
with silver. The entire system is draped and stretched over a curved surface,
causing the silver to crack, and generating parallel channels that conduct
electricity and are sensitive to movement.
The investigators found thinner layers of both the flexible film and the silver
yielded sensors with higher sensitivity, while thicker ones exhibited a larger
sensing range. To achieve a balance of these two effects, UCSSs with 15-
micron thick polymer layers and 37-nanometer thick silver layers were the
best choice.
The investigators also designed a visually aided tactile enhancement
system, VATES, by connecting one or more UCSSs to a signal acquisition
unit and visual readout device. They attached UCSSs to gloves, either on
the fingertips or on the back of the hand, producing a type of electronic skin,
or e-skin. Tiny movements, as small as a person's pulse moving the tip of a
finger, could be monitored.
The investigators suggest UCSSs could be used in a variety of ways: as
highly sensitive electronic whiskers, which can be used to map wind flow
patterns; as wearable sensors for heartbeat and pulse detection; or as
sensors on prosthetics to enhance the sense of touch.
They also demonstrated their use when applied to various parts of the body.
UCSSs were able to detect movement due to smiling, frowning and eye
blinking.
