A Smartphone App Could Change How Stroke...
In assessing stroke patient rehabilitation, clinicians have largely relied on their eyes to measure how well a stroke patient can move, grasp and let go. But what if a pocket-sized tool could capture every motion, quantify progress and provide new insight — all in the time it takes to open an app?

Widening Beaches Make California 500...
Southern California's beaches have grown more than 500 acres over the past four decades despite being one of the most heavily urbanized and dammed coastal regions in the world, according to a new study conducted by researchers at the University of California, Irvine, the U.S. Geological Survey and other institutions. The conventional wisdom-challenging revelation about coastal erosion and replenishment is the subject of a study published recently in Nature Communications.
UC Irvine Researchers Develop an ML-powered,...
Researchers at the University of California, Irvine have developed a multimodal, bioelectronic wrist-worn device for objective, continuous, real-time monitoring of stress. Outlined in a paper published in Nature Communications, the Smart Quantitative and Comprehensive Stress Assessor and Sub-Classifier simultaneously tracks molecular stress biomarkers alongside physiological stress indicators, providing a complete and precise picture of how stress is experienced by humans.
