Some researchers at North Carolina State University (including my friend Dr. Barbara Sherman) have invented a vest for a dog that monitors body position. When the computer gives the instruction, “Sit” it rewards the dog with a treat from a nearby dispenser for correct movement toward the desired body position. Anyone working in dog behavior […]
I was delighted to learn about this new 360 capture camera. When prices come down, I’ll suggest using these to capture what the (Separation Anxiety) dog does everywhere in the room while the folks are gone. Check out this post!
Considering the lifelong negative impact on mental health, do physically healthy cats and puppies (during their critical fear imprint period) really need a temp taken at every visit…Here is a new chip that might save the day!

What if dog’s could communicate in human language? We know dogs communicate via body language and some rudimentary vocalization. Researchers have now developed a VEST (canine wearable tech!) that dogs can wear that allows them to communicate in English with a human. The dog is trained when s/he wants to say THIS, then pull this tab […]

I was prepared to be amazed if the cell phone could measure my blood pressure or blood glucose, but I soon discovered these options were […]

Other problems included what to bring into the field, and how to keep lab samples fresh and accurate. DIAGNOSIS Regarding diagnostic sample submission, the concern with drones was that the […]
The reach of 3D printing expands further into medicine. Already 3D printing has been used to make functioning prosthetics and replacement bones. The new frontier is printing human (and in the future animal?) organs. One company plans to begin selling human liver tissue to researchers in a matter of months. Implanting this tissue into individuals […]
