BBC article says Automation could replace 1.5million jobs;

Part of our role at Newton Colmore Consulting is to keep up to date with the latest news and inventions in our sectors.  Here are a couple that caught my interest over the last week;

Identifying Sepsis in New-Borns

Machine Learning and Automation devices being used to identify Sepsis in new-borns, very important technologies in saving a lot of avoidable deaths.  There are a couple of articles about this;

and

FDA Warning on Robotic Surgery

According to NBC News, the FDA have warned against using robotically assisted surgical devices specifically for mastectomies and other cancer surgeries.  This is because of “preliminary” data saying it may be linked to lower ling-term survival.  It is an interesting article, but I would not say definite just yet as I see great need in Surgical Robotics in the Medical Devices sector;
