The health battles of millions, recorded digitally, open a world of virtual research. The antidepressant Paxil was approved for sale in 1992, the cholesterol-lowering drug Pravachol in 1996. Company studies proved that each drug, on its own, works and is safe. But what about when they are taken together? By mining tens of thousands of electronic patient records, researchers at Stanford University quickly discovered an unexpected answer: people who take both drugs have higher blood glucose levels. The effect was even greater in diabetics, for whom excess blood sugar is a health danger. 

Virtual tools that enable  enthusiasts to collaborate on solving problems are an amazing and extremely useful resource that we should be using more of. 

This fancy strip of torso garb keeps tabs on a patient's heart rate, temperature, and other vital signs as well as their position inside of the hospital itself with a GPS-like system that functions in closed spaces. This intelligent t-shirt can also detect the patient's position - if they're sitting, lying down, standing, walking, or running.

An insight into games, the gaming industry and it's present and future. 

Fascinating investigation in weight and weight loss in the 21st century from a psycho social standpoint. 

Fascinating approach to evolution in digital media. Allows evolution of 3d models that you can print in 3d

Comprehensive site on building computer games. 

Excellent 3d brain modelling. 

amazing interactive demonstration of the brain.  Uses web 3d technologies to provide an interactive environment to explore brain tractography

A potentially amazing way to explore the human body Scientists in Switzerland have developed a novel way to monitor a neuron's electrical activity by bathing it in laser light. The technique, called holographic microscopy, doesn't require the invasive electrodes or dyes typically used to measure cell activity. Researchers say the approach could be used to rapidly screen new drugs designed to protect brain cells.

Finally. A hardware based approach to chips that may mimic the power or real human processing. Memory and processing together brings huge speed and power increases and energy savings. 

An investigation into the fascinating links between inflammation, depression, imunity, exercise and more. 

Fascinating project modelling protein folding and it's relation to diseases. essentially proteins are nano machines. biologys workhorses

Talks about the use of folding@home as a distributed platform investigating protein folding and reliated diseases. excellent talk.

"Harvest is an app that uses augmented reality to display custom information for people with allergies and special diets. This concept and prototype design aims to help millions with dietary restrictions due to health, ethical, or religious reasons."

An excellent piece highlighting the growing focus on the dangers of activity. A key reason why a virtual body is needed. 

eterna is doing pretty much what we want to do but with RNA. Could be a very useful model to follow. 

Sweet game teaching RNA principles through fun. Also allows experimentation and sharing through community. 

A nice example of using game mechanics to simulate real world problems
