  • Will a Treatment Work? Try the 'Digital Twin' First.

    Will a Treatment Work? Try the 'Digital Twin' First.
    May 17 2024
    How does your doctor know that a drug or procedure will work to treat a condition before they try it? Often, they don’t. Researchers are looking to create “digital twins,” digital versions of individual organs, to see how a patient will respond. Eventually there could be digital twins of entire bodies that are updated in real time with patient data. WSJ’s Alex Ossola speaks with WSJ senior special writer Stephanie Armour about how that might change the way we treat diseases in the future. What do you think about the show?

    Ultrasound Isn’t Just for Pregnancy. How It’s Helping Treat the Brain.
    May 10 2024
    Ultrasound is known for its use in imaging during pregnancy. But new advancements in the technology suggest that in the future, ultrasound could be used to disrupt the blood-brain barrier. This would allow doctors to more easily diagnose and directly treat illnesses like brain cancer without major surgery. WSJ’s Danny Lewis and Charlotte Gartenberg examine the new ways that ultrasound could be used more specifically and subtly to deliver accurate diagnoses and precise treatments.

  • Chip in the Brain? How Brain-Computer Interfaces Could Change Medicine

    Chip in the Brain? How Brain-Computer Interfaces Could Change Medicine
    May 3 2024
    A day when people can interact directly with computers using their thoughts could be on the horizon. Several companies, including Elon Musk’s Neuralink, have begun preliminary human trials of brain-computer interfaces - devices that decode the electrical signals in their brain and translate them into digital bits. Neurosurgeon Benjamin Rapoport is a co-founder and chief science officer of Precision Neuroscience, a company working on brain-computer interfaces. He spoke with WSJ’s Danny Lewis about how the technology works and how these implants could improve the lives of hundreds of thousands of people who could gain the ability to independently engage with the digital world. Correction: Dr. Benjamin Rapoport is the co-founder of Precision Neuroscience. An earlier version misspelled his name Rapaport. (Corrected on May 3) What do you think about the show?

Concise and well researched

Well done -- it sounds like a follow up episode on the less bad fuels is in order. Is there $ from infrastructure bill to help make necessary mods to existing planes?
