Health in a Handbasket Episode 7: Shining a light inside the body
How can we see inside the body without opening it up? Medical Imaging is the term given to the way in which we can image the body. Think X-rays of your teeth, big MRI machines, or ultrasounds. All these forms of imaging use small doses of radiation to see inside the body. Charlotte Maughan Jones and Liam Collins-Jones (no relation!) are working to see the light. They're using medical imaging to scan the body for tendon damage, as is the case with Charlotte, and autism, as is the case with Liam. You might be wondering how they're doing this because isn't x-rays just for bones so how are we able to see the small, fleshy tendons? And how do we use medical imaging to diagnose autism? They're all questions that we'll be answering in this podcast.

The SensorAble Project
90% of autistic adults report that sensory issues cause significant barriers at school and work (Leekam et al., 2007). Wearable technologies (e.g., smart glasses) offer the possibility to monitor environments and adjust user-experiences. This research proposes applying such technologies to reduce anxiety-inducing distractions and create prompts that may increase autistic adults’ attentional-focus and quality-of-life. SensorAble (\ˈsen-sȯr-əbəl—or alt.—\sen-ˈsȯr-əbəl) is a multi-disciplinary MPhil/PhD Research Project. It fulfils a gap in scholarly knowledge regarding the exploration, design, application and testing of purpose-built wearable technologies that employ artificial intelligence for cognitive enhancement for those diagnosed with autism, by increasing their attentional focus and quality of life and through de-emphasizing anxiety-inducing environmental distractions and over-stimulation.
