We congratulate our colleague Prof @ceciliamascolo.bsky.social . She's just been awarded an EPSRC Open Fellowship to further her work on turning 'hearable' devices like earbuds into genuinely trustworthy & reliable instruments for measuring human health and fitness. www.cst.cam.ac.uk/news/fellows...

Using earbuds as health sensors would be very useful as they are so widely worn nowadays. They're also portable, very light, and much more affordable than standard clinical diagnostic devices.

The ultimate assessments, of course, will come from users. But if covering Apple over the years has taught us anything, it is this:

Tim Cook Wants Apple to Literally Save Your Life

Much as the CEO seems awestruck by AI and his just-released Apple Intelligence, he’s more convinced that the tech giant’s health apps will define the company’s legacy.

Good to see Apple’s Tim Cook focus explicitly on wearable health: “It’s clear to me that if you zoom out way into the future, and you look back and ask what Apple’s biggest contribution was, it will be in the health area”. Thanks @mircomusolesi.bsky.social for the link!) @wired.com
