In the second episode of Why Not Change the World? The RPI Podcast, a health-care data expert and a biomedical engineer discuss how data analysis can be used to tackle today’s biggest health challenges.
Researchers at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute have been working on two fronts to perfect continuous blood glucose monitor and insulin pump technologies: they are developing algorithms to create a closed-loop system that can effectively operate similar to a healthy pancreas, and they are working to make that system more accessible and understandable for users with diabetes.
Recent work by researchers at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute is demonstrating how data from online games can help provide meaningful insights.
People with diabetes face a significantly higher risk of osteoporotic fractures than those without the disease, but the reason for this is not well understood and can’t be adequately predicted.
The Engineering Innovation for Society (EIS) student design competition at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute aspires to enable that type of novel innovation by inviting undergraduate students from colleges and universities across the Northeast to the Troy campus for a “hackathon” of sorts focused on engineering design and development.
TROY, N.Y. — Researchers at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute have developed a way to 3D print living skin, complete with blood vessels. The advancement, published online today in Tissue Engineering Part A, is a significant step toward creating grafts that are more like the skin our bodies produce naturally.
All students, faculty, staff, and other campus constituents are strongly encouraged to verify and update their contact information in the RPI Alert system.
Although concentrations of chemicals and pollutants like salt and nutrients have increased in the deep waters of Lake George, they’re still too low to harm the ecosystem at those depths, according to an analysis of nearly 40 years of data published today in Limnology and Oceanography.
Hack RPI will hold a November 2-3 hackathon event aimed at welcoming experienced coders and neophytes alike. The hackathon will draw 400 students for a 24-hour session devoted to natural disaster mitigation, artificial intelligence, and accessibility and education.
Can today’s biggest health challenges be solved through data analysis? What does the ethical use of artificial intelligence look like? Is technology upgrading or downgrading the human species? These and other questions are all explored in a new podcast recorded and produced at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute.
