Starship — the company behind the adorable, six-wheeled delivery robot we met this year at Mobile World Congress — has received approval from the Washington, DC Department of Transportation to start testing a delivery program as early as this September. The Estonia-based company worked with the local government to develop the Personal Delivery Device Pilot Act of 2016, which was included in the 2017 budget amendment bill that was passed last week. The act defines "personal delivery devices," or PDDs, as "a device powered by an electric motor, for use primarily on sidewalks, capable of: transporting items with or without an operator directly controlling the device; identifying and yielding to pedestrians, bicyclists, other lawful users of public space, and property; and navigating public thoroughfares; and interpreting traffic signals and signs at crosswalks." Starship’s delivery robot, obviously, fits that description. It’s electric, has a trunk that … [Read more...] about Starship will test its autonomous delivery robot in Washington, DC this fall

FDA approves new closed-loop insulin delivery system for people with Type 1 diabetes
A new software system that will let people with diabetes customize their treatment and automatically adjust their insulin levels was just approved for use by the Food and Drug Administration. It will reach patients in January 2020. The technology, called Control-IQ, is manufactured by Tandem Diabetes Care and connects with blood glucose sensors and insulin pumps to automatically increase, decrease, or stop the delivery of insulin in response to the glucose levels of people with Type 1 diabetes. People with Type 1 diabetes can’t produce their own insulin, which regulates blood sugar (aka glucose), so they need to take it from an external source every day. Currently, many patients with diabetes have to manually adjust and readjust the amount of insulin they receive throughout the day. With this kind of device, called a closed-loop system, users can instead rely on the device to adjust as needed. People with Type 1 diabetes using Control-IQ with Tandem’s t:slim X2 insulin … [Read more...] about FDA approves new closed-loop insulin delivery system for people with Type 1 diabetes

Read More I realize, however, that I can't be because I don't know enough about, oh, Marvel movies, coding and the alluiring softness of Allbirds. So I accept my failings and hope you'll be good with that. I'm not so sure Tim Cook feels the same way.You see, he just gave an interview to the Nikkei Asian Review in which he said one of those things that sound benign, until you realize what's being said.Cook was addressing the notion -- promulgated by sniffy regulators -- that Apple's App Store operation doesn't take kindly to, well, anything that competes with Apple. He offered this philosophical thought: "A monopoly by itself isn't bad if it's not abused." Neither, I hear you snort, are cocaine and Major League … [Read more...] about Apple’s Tim Cook said the strangest thing and I keep wondering why
