Podcast: Diagnosing Alzheimer's At A Glance, The Stress You Sweat, Bloom's Better Bioplastics

In this episode, we talk about a novel approach to detect Alzheimer's using retinal images, monitoring stress levels using sweat, and a new method of processing biomass which leads to better bioplastics. As always, you can find these and other interesting & impactful engineering articles on Wevolver.com. 

EPISODE NOTES  

(0:45) Diagnosing Alzheimer’s At A Glance - 

Researchers at Duke University have developed a machine learning model capable of successfully differentiating between healthy patients and those with Alzheimer’s using retinal images.

(7:00) The Stress You Sweat -

EPFL and Xsensio have collaborated to create a wireless sensor using graphene capable of monitoring cortisol levels secreted via sweat in quasi real-time. 

(12:30) Bloom’s Better Bioplastics -

Bloom Biorenewables biomass processing method increases the efficiency of resource extraction from 40% to 75% and enables production of high performance and biodegradable bioplastics.
