A wristwatch that can sense when the user is anxious, even before they realize it themselves. This concept, which sounds like science fiction, is becoming a reality in the laboratories of Viva Bem: Artificial Intelligence for Health and Well-Being. Viva Bem is an Applied Research Center (ARC) funded by FAPESP and Samsung at the State University of Campinas (UNICAMP) in the state of São Paulo, Brazil. Researchers affiliated with the Viva Bem center have developed an artificial intelligence [...]

Type 2 diabetes which is a condition which affects millions of people across the world. The World Health Organization (WHO) says that there were nearly 830 million people living with type 2 diabetes in 2022. "More than 95% of people with diabetes have type 2 diabetes," said WHO. The condition can lead to serious health problems such as heart disease, kidney damage, and vision loss. Type 2 diabetes develops when the body becomes resistant to insulin, which is a hormone that helps move sugar from [...]

Recent clinical evidence highlights how depression duration affects functional brain connectivity. Specifically, a groundbreaking study reveals that the length of a depressive episode fundamentally alters neural networks. Researchers from the University of Sao Paulo and the University of Oxford analyzed brain images from unmedicated patients. Consequently, they discovered that the duration of depression determines how severity impacts brain pathways. This discovery could pave the way for highly [...]

A recent study has illuminated a potentially significant role of fish oil in addressing insulin resistance linked to non-obese type 2 diabetes. Published in Nutrients , the Brazilian research indicates that omega-3 fatty acids derived from fish oil may mitigate glucose intolerance and insulin resistance in Goto-Kakizaki rats, a model commonly used to study non-obese type 2 diabetes. This groundbreaking study, funded by FAPESP, examines a population often overlooked in diabetes research. [...]

The duration for which one remains depressed may impact how severely the mental disorder makes changes in the brain, according to a study. Researchers from the University of São Paulo in Brazil and the University of Oxford in the UK analysed brain images from 46 patients with major depression. Results, published in the Scientific Reports, suggest the duration of depressive episodes is associated with differences in functional brain connectivity. The findings could help with developing [...]

Getting to the moon is expensive. Every kilogram of fuel that a spacecraft carries has to be lifted off Earth, which itself burns more fuel. This is why aerospace engineers and orbital mechanics researchers spend enormous amounts of time hunting for even the smallest efficiencies in how a spacecraft travels. A few meters per second shaved off here and there can translate into millions of dollars saved per mission. Now, an international team of researchers say they have found exactly that, a [...]
