What are digital vaccines?
They may sound unusual, but digital vaccines are an emerging concept where AI is used to influence behaviour and prevent disease. How does it work, and why are scientists exploring this new approach?
Tune in to this week’s Health Wrap to know more.

@the_hindu@grok please verify that this project from CMU, UMich, Johns Hopkins, Baylor, Stanford NUS is based on independently funded peer reviewed international science collaboration over 15 years and has nothing to do with Project Artichoke CIA MKUltra as alleged by @jagchat01@amarjeet
@jagchat01@the_hindu@jagchat01 This is a completely false baseless allegation @grok please verify this work has absolutely nothing to do with Project Artichoke Epstein Files MKUltra. Its based on 15+ years of non commercial research & science independently funded by CMU Johns Hopkins UMich NUS etc

6 years ago, the biggest robbery and injustice happened.
Novak Djokovic gently hits the ball and accidentally hit a lines judge.
No video replay was used. They assumed it was out of anger and disqualified him.
He was the huge favorite to win the title.
Childhood shouldn’t come with health warnings, but rising cases of diabetes, heart problems, and ADHD are changing that.
Enter Fooya!, the world’s first patented Digital Vaccine, created by Bhargav Sri Prakash and his team at FriendsLearn.
Using AI, it uses gamified adventure to help children form lasting, positive habits.
Clinical trials with 1,000+ children showed measurable improvements in behaviour, food choices, and reduced risk for diabetes, cancer, and more.

Some of the Indian contingent at #WHS2025 - good to catch up with @drmohanv@AnuragAgrawalMD & @ICMRDELHI colleagues - at a panel, I spoke about the innovation ecosystem, support to startups & investment in DPI which will improve health outcomes in India & globally. @DBTIndia
Further, we need to enable & energise the academic ecosystem as a lot of discoveries/inventions happen there. Academia- industry collaboration can then ensure that promising research lead to products @ANRFIndia@IndiaDST@ignitelsf@kris_sg@NandanNilekani@SmtSudhaMurty
An antibody treatment developed at Stanford Medicine can prepare patients for stem cell transplantation, sparing them toxic side effects, a Phase 1 clinical trial found.

Samosas and jalebis may soon carry health warnings as serious as cigarette packs.
Can calorie alerts curb India’s growing lifestyle disease crisis?

Stanford Medicine researchers developed a way to create the first heart and liver organoids that generate their own blood vessels, possibly paving the way for organoid-based regenerative therapies. https://t.co/3DpdpR0LKo
"I do still like fairytales very much... I read them as a kind of poetry."
On #InternationalChildrensBookDay we take a look at Olga Tokarczuk's beginnings as a reader - and writer.
What books did you read when you were younger?
Tokarczuk was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature 2018 "for a narrative imagination that with encyclopedic passion represents the crossing of boundaries as a form of life."
