(KOAM) \u2014 Missouri Southern State University hosted its third annual Willcoxon Innovation in Health Sciences Summit Friday, showcasing cutting-edge wearable technologies and artificial intelligence designed to transform healthcare delivery in rural communities.<\/p>\n<p>The event brought together healthcare professionals, students and community members to explore innovations in wearable and implantable sensors that monitor cardiovascular and neurological diseases. The technologies aim to improve accessibility and affordability in rural healthcare settings where patients often face barriers to specialized diagnostic equipment.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Yayun Du, Assistant Professor of Electrical &#038; Computer engineering at Vanderbilt University, explained how the technology could revolutionize patient care through predictive capabilities.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Predict and so output whether that disease prediction and also progression and or potentially for early pre intervention and also aiming for let&#8217;s say contribution to personalize the treatment and therapy. That&#8217;s how actually sensing AI competition and also prediction. That&#8217;s how we close a loop,&#8221; Du said.<\/p>\n<p>The innovation addresses a critical gap in rural healthcare access. Many patients in these areas have limited access to specialized diagnostic equipment, creating delays in diagnosis and treatment.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;So by empowering, like&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.koamnewsnow.com\/news\/health\/missouri-southern-hosts-health-innovation-summit-focusing-on-ai-and-wearable-technology\/article_a64e121d-4531-4608-9f53-5bcb5b53822f.html\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Missouri Southern hosts health innovation summit focusing on AI and wearable technology | Health https:\/\/www.koamnewsnow.com\/news\/health\/missouri-southern-hosts-health-innovation-summit-focusing-on-ai-and-wearable-technology\/article_a64e121d-4531-4608-9f53-5bcb5b53822f.html&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":228332,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/bloximages.newyork1.vip.townnews.com\/koamnewsnow.com\/content\/tncms\/assets\/v3\/editorial\/a\/64\/a64e121d-4531-4608-9f53-5bcb5b53822f\/69c6eda47f165.preview.png?crop=1189%2C624%2C4%2C0","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[101,62],"class_list":["post-228331","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-technology","tag-health","tag-innovation"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/228331"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=228331"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/228331\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":228333,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/228331\/revisions\/228333"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/228332"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=228331"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=228331"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=228331"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
