Intelligent alarm system helps Covid-19 patients
A group of Danish researchers from DTU Health Tech in collaboration with Rigshospitalet, Bispebjerg and Frederiksberg Hospital have developed a unique patient surveillance system with wireless monitoring. The system will now be distributed to all Danish hospitals.
An artificial intelligent system with wireless 24/7 monitoring of patients will make it easier for the country’s hospitals to keep an eye on whether the condition of patients with covid-19 is suddenly deteriorating. Initially, Rigshospitalet, Bispebjerg and Frederiksberg Hospital will start using the system. But the Danish Regions have granted resources for up to 250 units to relieve the pressure on hospital staff and secure the best possible patient care in the hospital wards across the country.

John Rebus, the Edinburgh police officer appearing in a novel by Ian Rankin for the 24th time, is growing old, but his mental acuity and sleuthing skills are as keen as ever.
Retired from the force because of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, he can no longer climb the stairs of his spacious apartment in a walk-up “tenement,” and is being helped by his former colleague Siobhan Clarke to move into a smaller flat on the ground floor. Downsizing is hard for all of us – including Rebus’ small but feisty dog Brillo – and for the aging detective, his old case files are among the most difficult possessions to part with.
San Antonio – Thousands of residents were disappointed Saturday morning after learning all 9,000 slots were filled within minutes of trying to register online to get the COVID-19 vaccine at the Alamodome vaccination site.
“At 8:58, 8:59, I had coffee in hand, sitting in front of the computer all ready with my hands on the keyboard ready to log in,” said Arlene Converse, 71. “I logged in and the site wouldn’t load and then at about 9:02, it loaded and when it loaded, bam! Immediately, registration is full.”
The 9,000 available slots for next week were taken within six minutes of registration opening, according to city officials. More than 11,000 people were on the city’s registration website when it opened at 9 a.m.
