Prices have climbed steeply over the past year, and the relief valve…
University of Washington researchers built a smartphone app that tracks fetal heart rate as accurately as clinic tools. No extra hardware, no gel, just the phone’s own speaker and microphone. It’s called DopFone. The system plays an 18kHz tone and listens for the echo. A machine learning model estimates the heart rate from subtle shifts in that reflected sound. In a study of 23 pregnant patients, the app landed within about 2 beats per minute of a medical-grade Doppler. That’s well inside the 8 BPM margin doctors accept. The idea is to give more people access to regular fetal monitoring…

It seems that HBO Max might be following a similar path. In the quarterly earnings call, JB Perrette, CEO and President of Global Streaming and Games for Warner Bros. Discovery, said, “And then we are in the second inning of our password sharing enforcement. It is just beginning to get…
