How AI is Improving Software Development

by Leave a Comment

Artificial Intelligence has been changing the world. This technology has the capacity to seriously disrupt industries and turn traditional processes on their head.

Software development is closely linked with AI, but that doesn’t mean it can’t also improve thanks to the power of Artificial Intelligence.

In fact, in some cases, we are already seeing the power AI has in app development. We won’t be seeing fully automated software development projects in the near future, but that doesn’t mean that AI technology can’t help development teams reduce their workload and operate more efficiently.

Franz Morat unveils innovative system that comfortably rotates and turns bedridden patients

by Leave a Comment

For bedridden individuals, everything revolves around the correct resting position in the bed. The position must be adjusted to match each individual patient and their physical condition.

This means the patient’s position in the bed must be changed regularly to take pressure off of areas of the patient’s body and to prevent pressure sores. The goal is to make life in bed as pleasant as possible for the person in need of care.

Turning and repositioning bedridden individuals is a physically challenging procedure for caregiving staff. It is usually performed multiple times per day by a team of two or three caregivers and it requires a lot of time.
