A recent study found that men interrupt women 23% more often than they interrupt other men. A new app, Woman Interrupted, has been created to help detect these interruptions which can prevent women from expressing their ideas. The app is free and uses microphones to analyse conversations and detect how often women are being interrupted.?http://www.womaninterruptedapp.com/en/

Engineers have invented a new kind of chip that's a biosensor and can be fixed to wearables. It performs multiple functions that have traditionally required the use of a laboratory. It can analyze sweat or blood in order to detect multiple biomarkers linked to several diseases. The cells and the metallic layer of the chip work together to generate digital signals in the same way that cellular telephone networks keep track of each caller's identity. This allows for the automatic detection of cancer cells, bacteria, and viruses. https://futurism.com/lab-on-a-chip-wearable-technology-could-help-detect-disease/

While people usually assume that seniors are slow or at a loss when it comes to technology EverYoung employs 420 seniors over 55 across Seoul from a range of backgrounds ? some were engineers and some had been unemployed for a long time. Their staff display a high level of attention to detail, which is a trait that is not so common in younger employees. Phones are kept away in lockers. http://www.channelnewsasia.com/news/cnainsider/this-south-korean-tech-start-up-hires-only-seniors-over-55-to-8940876

A Brazilian company has partnered with universities in the U.S. and Brazil to create food packaging that will change color to alert you when it spoils. The package uses PH indicators to determine whether the food has spoiled. The first prototype of the technology was released last year. If successfully incorporated, it could help with problems of food waste and prevent consumers from navigating confusing labels. 

A new system uses ballistic shockwave sensors embedded in tracking collars to help save endangered African elephants. The system sends coordinates to authorities immediately after the sensors detect gunshots. Although elephant poachers attempt to minimize the sounds their weapons produce, high-powered gunshots produce an acoustic shockwave that poachers cannot suppress. This technology can be used to protect more wildlife via detect tracking devices. https://news.vanderbilt.edu/2017/06/07/sensor-detects-shooting-at-elephants-helps-authorities-catch-poachers/amp/
