Researchers at MIT Media Lab have developed a wearable platform that provides real-time, personalized, and context-aware health and cognition support. Their system, called personalized active learner (PAL), was presented in a paper pre-published on arXiv.
Recent advances in artificial intelligence (AI) have enabled the development of tools that can analyze large quantities of data to prevent or monitor a variety of physical and mental health conditions. These tools include data-driven medical systems for the prediction or prevention of health issues, mobile platforms that provide psychological support and intelligence augmentation (IA) systems, which are designed to enhance cognitive skills such as memory, learning or decision-making.
