そこで考えたのが、健康・医療・介護のリアルデータプラットフォーム(PHR：Personal Health Record)を基盤として、銀行や保険会社、企業が行なっている健康改善するともらえるポイントや割引を共通化して、新たな仮想通貨・電子マネー「Health Coin」を作り、健康増進行動を促すためのインセンティブ（トークンを報酬として付与する）が与えられ、トークン（電子証票）を受け取った患者は医療などのヘルスケア関連の費用として支払うことができるというアイデアです。
To make it easier to diagnose and study sleep problems, researchers at MIT and Massachusetts General Hospital have devised a new way to monitor sleep stages without sensors attached to the body. Their device uses an advanced artificial intelligence algorithm to analyze the radio signals around the person and translate those measurements into sleep stages: light, deep, or rapid eye movement (REM).
Using this approach in tests of 25 healthy volunteers, the researchers found that their technique was about 80 percent accurate, which is comparable to the accuracy of ratings determined by sleep specialists based on EEG measurements.
“When you think about Parkinson’s, you think about it as a movement disorder, but the disease is also associated with very complex sleep deficiencies, which are not very well understood,” Katabi says.
