Algorithm Predicts Intensive Care Survival Rate
Researchers from the University of Copenhagen and Rigshospitalet have used data on more than 230,000 intensive care patients to develop a new algorithm. Among other things, it uses disease history from the past 23 years to predict patients' chances of survival in intensive care units.

Crowdsourced Traffic Crash Data Could Shave Minutes Off Response Times and Save Lives
A new University of California, Irvine-led pilot study finds that crowdsourced "crash alerts" occur three minutes prior to their corresponding California Highway Patrol (CHP)-reported crash, suggesting that using these data could mean the difference between life and death.

Genes Found to Be Unique to Humans May Unlock the Secret to Our Evolution
Scientists have found that dozens of genes, previously thought to have similar roles across different organisms, are in fact unique to humans and could help explain how our species came to exist.

Smartphone App Can Hear Ear Infections in Children
The app sends sound waves into the ear and measures how the sound waves change as they bounce off the eardrum. Different sounds reflect the amount of fluid build-up, which occurs during ear infections – the most common reason for parents bringing their children to a pediatrician.
