While it does not seem as useful as Dean Kamen’s Luke arm, this prosthetic arm is commercially available today.

Game or therapy?

Tomasz Stasiuk — Fri, 12 Jun 2009 13:00:22 +0000

Check out this demo for a Xbox Project Natal game called “Milo & Kate.”

Can you imagine the therapeutic value of this? From phobia therapies like the one below, to helping people with social phobias, to even more complex therapies such as helping individuals with Asperger’s syndrome pick up on social cues, vocal inflections and body language. The possibilities are amazing!

It also opens the possibility of long distance and even multiple provider therapies: the patient interacts with a single avatar which may be “driven” by different therapists at different times (allowing 24 hour care and a consistent “face”), or even running on auto-pilot as in the “Milo & Kate” demo above. I did not realize we were so close the the ‘ractors in Neal Stephenson’s Diamond Age.

Virtual Phobia Therapy:

Virtual therapies could be amazing, or they could be awful! What’s your opinion?

What to do for a person having a seizure (video)

Tomasz Stasiuk — Fri, 15 May 2009 13:00:03 +0000

One of my favorite shows on the web, GeekBrief.tv with Cali Lewis, inverviewed actor Greg Grunberg (Matt Parkman on “Heroes”). Greg’s son, Jake, has epilepsy and Greg talks about what to do for someone during a seizure and what not to do (don’t put something into the person’s mouth!).

It’s a great video! Greg talks about seizures starting at 3:50.

What is Sleep Apnea?

Here is a great video explaining sleep apnea, what causes it and the risks associated with sleep apnea.
The video starts with a lot of promos. Just zip to the 1:10 mark for the good stuff.
