Computer aided diagnosis by image enhancement

The idea in this poster is to colorize a medical image cool blue to hot red for how much the computer thinks it's seeing disease. The normal way to do computer aided diagnosis is to draw a circle and then have the clinician confirm or reject. The clinicians are annoyed by all the bubbles so I thought just color the image with the computer's confidence it is seeing something and let the observer find the disease. This poster was presented at AMIA.

Most efficient ways to build fitness

Some of the most efficient ways to exercise are weight lifting about 24 repetitions of each exercise to complete exhaustion and interval training like some kind of sprinting. Lower weight higher repetition weight lifting (meaning about 24 reps) done to complete muscle exhaustion (lift until you can't lift a single time more) can actually build muscle even faster low repetition with a heavier weight. A study on this is here: http://www.plosone.org/article/info%3Adoi%2F10.1371%2Fjournal.pone.0012033 N. A. Burd, et al. “Low-Load High Volume Resistance Exercise Stimulates Muscle Protein Synthesis More Than High-Load Low Volume Resistance Exercise in Young Men,” PLoS ONE, vol. 5, no. 8, p. e12033, 2010. Interval training works so well partly because you move fast turning on more fibers. Each muscle fiber in a skeletal muscle either contracts fully or not at all. You lift heavier weights or move faster by contracting/engaging more muscle fibers. So fast motions in interval training

Air pollution, diabetes, global warming - same problem

Air pollution, diabetes, global warming  and are highly related problems. Much of our air pollution comes from how much we drive everywhere. This air pollution includes CO2 driving global warming. Our traffic clogged streets and towns make it hazardous to walk so we don't walk and we put on weight and develop diabetes. I am a die hard cyclist and walk commuter and live right by a shopping center that I can see from my apartment but even I never cycle or walk there because the entire center is a parking lot and I would probably get ran over. If we rebuilt are towns and cities for walking we would walk more, reduce air pollution, global warming and diabetes all at the same time.

AI computing on the edge

Artificial Intelligence can be put on the edge of computing. The edge of computing is in Internet of Things (IoT) devices like our smart phones or other small devices. Putting intelligence at the edge of computing reduces lag time since it doesn't need an always on connection and is private since your data doesn't need uploading to a server.
