    This AI Tool Lets Doctors and Traveling Patients Converse, Despite Language Barriers
    What happens when millions of people gather for a global event in a country where they may not speak the language but suddenly need medical attention?For starters, you try to figure out a way to connect people across languages, including translating sometimes vague and culturally specific personal health complaints into medical terminology that doctors can understand to quickly assess a patient's condition and decide the level of urgency. Then there's the issue of figuring out the formulation for prescriptions created in one country and how that might translate into medicines available in the prescribing country. Also you need to put in place a monitoring or tracking system that's able to flag potential outbreaks before they spread at the event. Those were the challenges facing organizers of the 2024 Summer Olympic Games in Paris, who knew they would have to address health issues facing over 10 million visitors and 15,000 athletes and para-athletes from over 150 countries and regions speaking 25 different languages. To help them solve it, organizers turned to a Silicon Valley-based company, Humetrix, that had created an award-winning Global Health Communicator based on the medical information databases it's assembled over the past 15 years.Led by Dr. Bettina Experton, Humetrix has developed health-related data and analytics systems, including a population-based health analytics system that allowed the government to track and predict outbreaks of the coronavirus among 20 million Medicare recipients and enabled the Department of Defense Joint Artificial Intelligence Center to identify areas in the US to send vaccines and other support during the 2020 pandemic. HumetrixFor the Olympics, Experton and her team created a mobile app, powered in part by a generative AI chatbot, that international visitors could use to start the process of getting medical care from first aid stations set up at the 200 competition venues in Paris and from 20,000 physicians and hospitals contracted to help the games provide care, Experton said. Patients scanned a QR code, got access to a secure mobile app, entered their medical information in their own language, selected their medications from their own country and then let the system translate for them.To help those patients, doctors had access to a database of 4 million worldwide medications and vaccines and information on 67,000 medical conditions that could be triggered by over 4,000 symptoms. Again, all of that information was translated into 25 languages, including English, French, Spanish, Arabic, Japanese, German, Korean, Czech, Russian, Estonian, Tamil, Ukrainian and Urdu.All of that had to be done while ensuring patients' medical information remained confidential and secure, which meant no remote storage of personal health info in the cloud or sharing of personally identifiable information with monitoring systems. Humetrix"Saves us time, increases the efficiency of triage," said one paramedic lead at the Paris Summer Games. A Paris-based primary care physician and volunteer at Paris Summer Games first aid stations stated, "Simply love it -- now using it for my non-French speaking patients in our clinic." Some hospitals even expanded this technology to all patients as part of their intake workflow, while some paramedics in the Paris region added Humetrix QR code posters inside their ambulances.At CES this week in Las Vegas, Humetrix plans to expand its global health platform by adding voice-to-voice capabilities that will allow patients to better communicate with medical and pharmaceutical providers at the push of a button. Using GPS location, Humetrix will automatically translate and speak symptoms, medications and other pertinent health information into the local language, of which 25 languages are available. In these situations, AI is combined with human and clinician intelligence (i.e., fact-checked) to ensure that all translations make sense and utilize the correct expressions when voice-to-voice communication is employed. HumetrixWith its database of 4 million medicinal products worldwide, Humetrix's technology can help you find something as seemingly simple as Tylenol in a different country that doesn't carry that exact drug but has another of a different name with the same active ingredients. However if a particular medication is unavailable at your current location, Humetrix will notify you.Why wasn't this voice technology utilized at the Olympics? Since the Olympics occur in a public setting, vocalizing personal health information where others may overhear would be a privacy concern. However in a closed-door exam room at a hospital, voice-to-voice capabilities can streamline conversation and, as a result, diagnosis.Remaining consistent, no personal information is stored in the cloud but is local on the user's phone. The population-based health analytics system used by Humetrix was paused after the Paralympics but can be reenabled depending on the use case.This technology is available B2B, and its design merits use by the travel or healthcare industries, global organizers (such as those hosting international sports events) and governments. As Humetrix proved during the Summer Olympic Games, its technology can successfully be harnessed to track symptoms and monitor the spread of disease, which could prove especially useful during another global disease outbreak.Health has previously been a barrier to travel, preventing many from experiencing new cultures in the name of accessible medical care. However with technology like this bridging gaps in international healthcare, these obstacles to accessing our global community may soon be no more. Information is power, especially regarding our health --and that shouldn't be limited based on where you are in the world or what language you speak.

If you're unsure when you should expect your check.The Social Security Administration sends monthly payments to people who have a disability that stops or limits their ability to work. Depending on the situation of the individual, others may qualify and can apply for SSDI as well.For more, here's what you can do if you're last payment never arrived, and here's the Supplemental Security Income payment schedule.Payment schedule if you've had SSDI since May 1997 or earlierIf you started getting SSDI before May 1997, you'd usually receive your payment on the third day of every month.

    US labels Tencent as a Chinese military company
    US labels Tencent as a Chinese military companyMegacorp says label doesn't currently impact business, but is a "misunderstanding".Image credit: Tencent / Eurogamer News by Tom Phillips Editor-in-Chief Published on Jan. 7, 2025 The US Department of Defense has labelled Chinese megacorp Tencent - a huge player in the global video games industry - as a Chinese military company. Tencent itself has responded to say the label is inaccurate, and a "misunderstanding". The listing of Tencent as a Chinese military company does not immediately impact its ability to do business in the US, but raises the risk of complications in the future. As reported by The Verge, drone company DJI has seen its US imports blocked since it was added to the same list. But other companies, such as Chinese smartphone maker Xiaomi, have been added and then removed.In 2020, President Trump issued an executive order which stated that US businesses could not invest in Chinese companies linked to the US military. Trump is set to return to power later this month."We are not a military company or supplier," Tencent spokesperson Danny Marti said. "Unlike sanctions or export controls, this listing has no impact on our business. We will nonetheless work with the Department of Defense to address any misunderstanding."Tencent's reach across the global video games industry is enormous. It owns League of Legends developer Riot Games, Dune: Awakening maker Funcom and UK outfit Sumo Digital, in addition to several of its own companies such as Pokmon Unite maker Timi Studios.In addition, Tencent owns majority stakes in Dying Light developer Techland, Rime studio Tequila Works, plus mobile studios Miniclip and Supercell. Fortnite and Unreal Engine maker Epic Games is 35 percent owned by Tencent, while the company also holds notable stakes in FromSoftware, Remedy, Krafton, Paradox, Frontier, Kadokawa, Marvelous, Bloober Team and Netmarble.And then there's Ubisoft - another company in which Tencent holds a stake - which is currently in discussions with the Chinese company over a potential stock buyout, in a bid to stabilise the troubled Assassin's Creed maker.

    Switch owners are reportedly opening games to find a googly eye staring back at them rather than a cartridge
    Switch owners are reportedly opening games to find a googly eye staring back at them rather than a cartridgeTears of the fandom.Image credit: Nintendo/Eurogamer News by Victoria Kennedy News Reporter Published on Jan. 7, 2025 Imagine the scene: you've just got your hands on that physical Switch game you've been waiting for. Hurrah! But as you open the box, your heart and soul full of giddy anticipation, your eyes land not on that oh-so-special cartridge but an eye staring back at you.This is what has happened to multiple Switch owners who have reported that, instead of a game, they have instead found themselves presented with a plastic googly eye in its place. Actually. We have come from Goggle Box to Googly Box.8 Wholesome 2025 Cosy Games. Watch on YouTubeThe reports of this eye-sore phenomenon made the rounds with more vigour over the festive period, but it has seemingly been happening for a little while now. "This is what I found when I opened my brand new sealed copy of Echoes of Wisdom from Walmart," reads one reddit post from several months ago, with a picture of the offending eye.It seems that because the googly eye sounds a lot like a cartridge when the box is shaken, many have understandably presumed the contents are legit. And, really, why wouldn't they.My sons copy of Luigis Mansion 2 HD for Christmas was taken out and replaced with Googly eyes. byu/Robotboss inNintendoSwitchTo see this content please enable targeting cookies.IGN recently reached out to a number of those who claimed they had received googly eyes instead of their expected games, however no one contacted was able to shed much more light on the situation.As the publication noted, because those concerned weren't expecting to open their box to see an eye instead of a game, they didn't take a video documenting the moment, which is fair enough.The Grinch Got Us This Year byu/jhglock89 inNintendoSwitchTo see this content please enable targeting cookies.Googly eyes, didnt think I would see it in person byu/lueyze121 inNintendoSwitchTo see this content please enable targeting cookies.So, is this all a viral prank among the Switch community? Who can say for sure, although Eurogamer has reached out to Nintendo for further comment.In the meantime, you can know you will be safe with a digital copy (although I appreciate that isn't the same). The good news is that Switch strategy RPG Triangle Strategy is now back on the eShop, having previously been removed for unknown reasons.

Shoe said that if I could customize the appearance and voice, I wouldnt be able to depict the intense Three Kingdoms experience that I was aiming for this time. Lastly, it was said that the main character has a distinct personality and an inherent charm, but he is not the kind of protagonist who is strongly edgy or has strong quirks.

    Fake Baldurs Gate 3 Mobile port scam makes its debut alongside other AAA knockoffs
    You can trust VideoGamer. Our team of gaming experts spend hours testing and reviewing the latest games, to ensure you're reading the most comprehensive guide possible. Rest assured, all imagery and advice is unique and original. Check out how we test and review games here Contents hide Larian Studios Baldurs Gate 3 is one of the best RPGs ever made, and it takes a lot to make the game run. However, with Larian somehow managing to bring Divinity Original Sin 2 to iOS, some mobile gamers have held out hope that one day a Baldurs Gate 3 iOS port could be released.As it turns out, the usual band of knockoff developers and online scammers have heard the pleas of iOS gamers, but have they delivered? Obviously not, as Larians RPG, alongside other AAA games, is being used to rope in unsuspecting gamers to ridiculous fake products.Fake Baldurs Gate 3 iOSAnyone looking for Baldurs Gate on the iOS app store expect to find a few things: the ports of classic games in the series from over a decade ago, and the typical guide apps available for every game. (Who is downloading these?)Released in November 2024, Baldurs Gate 3 Mobile Turuk is a scam app designed to trick unsuspecting gamers into paying for a useless subscription. Listed as a free application, the games description claims players will be able to create their own character from a wide range of D&D classes or choose one of several pre-made Origin characters, each with their own unique storyline and motivations.Alongside the obvious bogus description, the games store page entry uses official Baldurs Gate 3 screenshots with fake mobile control overlays. Screenshots show the always-attractive Astarion in the character creator as well as gameplay screenshots showing the boss fight against a Spectator, the mini Beholder.All of this is to try and loop unsuspecting players into the apps true purpose, signing up for a useless subscription. Priced at $29.99 for 30 days, the subscription claims to unlock access to the game, which is doesnt. Furthermore, the apps terms of service reveal that it does collect numerous pieces of data, including a users IP address. Its worth noting that Larian Studios has already shut down rumours of a Baldurs Gate 3 Mobile port in the past. While this doesnt mean the game will never come to iOS platforms especially as iPad tablets continue to skyrocket in power it does mean that gamers should look to official sources before downloading sketchy games on their phone. A worrying trendUnfortunately, Baldurs Gate 3 is far from the only game to be targeted in these fake mobile releases. For example, GTA 6 Mobile is a game available on the iOS App Store, complete with screenshots of GTA V. With GTA 6 not even announced for PC yet, its unlikely any mobile port is coming for that particular game.Most of these games are short-lived on the App Store, and the iOS refund system is typically strong enough to get most scam victims their money back. However, for those who dont know how to use the Apple Refund services, or those who simply dont know it exists, its worrying that these games are able to make their way to the iOS App Store at all.For more Baldurs Gate 3 coverage, read about the games last major patch on the way this year. Furthermore, read about how Google Stadia ended up causing major issues for the game that still exist today.Subscribe to our newsletters!By subscribing, you agree to our Privacy Policy and may receive occasional deal communications; you can unsubscribe anytime.Share

    This cosmetic item would make Fortnite Battle Royale much better
    You can trust VideoGamer. Our team of gaming experts spend hours testing and reviewing the latest games, to ensure you're reading the most comprehensive guide possible. Rest assured, all imagery and advice is unique and original. Check out how we test and review games hereOver the past seven years, Epic Games has released thousands of cosmetic items in Fortnite. At first, the cosmetic shop was quite simple, offering skins, emotes, pickaxes, and gliders. Later on, the game developer added many other types of cosmetic items, but some of them are currently unavailable in the Battle Royale mode.One of the newest types of cosmetics is called Aura. This is essentially a character glow, which looks amazing. Unfortunately, this item is only limited to Fortnite Festival, yet adding it to the Battle Royale mode would be a game-changer. Some players even have a great idea of how to implement it, so lets check it out!Epic Games should add Auras to Fortnite Battle RoyaleReddit user Odinram97 recently made a post about Auras in the Battle Royale mode. The player asked Epic to add this cosmetic item to the most popular game mode, and there is no doubt that this is a great idea. While this item is amazing in Festival, this niche mode is nowhere as popular as Fortnite Battle Royale. Due to this, adding Aura to other game modes would make this cosmetic item much better.At the moment, Aura is only available in the Festival mode. Image by VideoGamerMany other Reddit users shared their thoughts regarding the suggestion, with some of them improving it. The general consensus is that Epic Games should add this item to the Battle Royale mode, but that it shouldnt be active all the time. Instead, Aura should be activated only while a player is wearing a crown or is on a kill streak.While almost everyone agrees that Aura cosmetics are amazing, they are also underused. Adding them to other modes would not only make players happy, but it could also be a profitable move for Epic.
