How to support your child’s mental health: A parent’s guide

Health
Parents and caregivers are finding it harder to navigate the resources available for their children as concerns about children’s mental health grow. Experts are voicing their concerns and particularly in areas like Iowa where a lack of clear systems to access mental health care has left families unsure of where to turn. Adolescent and teen mental health has deteriorated over the years. More young people are seeking help for mental and behavioral health challenges, but the availability of services is not keeping pace with demand. Families face long waitlists and the uncertainty of how to get help can add to the stress. Experts say that the most important thing for parents to remember is that it is okay to seek help and that no one should feel ashamed to reach out. Des Moines PACE ...
Can data centers stay green? Balancing digital growth with clean energy

Can data centers stay green? Balancing digital growth with clean energy

Technology
The world is increasingly becoming digital and the demand for data is skyrocketing. The surge in demand is being met by data centers, which are basically large facilities that store, process and manage data that powers everything such as cloud computing, artificial intelligence (AI) and cryptocurrency mining. However, the data centers are becoming a major source of concern due to massive energy consumption and environmental impact. The energy use of data centers in the U.S. is projected to be one of the fastest-growing sources of electricity demand over the next decade. The rise in energy demand from data centers is already affecting the progress of America toward a cleaner energy future. It is delaying closure of fossil fuel power plants and even reviving proposals for new fossil f...
Why Blockchain could be end of high fees, delays in global payments

Why Blockchain could be end of high fees, delays in global payments

Technology
The world is more connected today but cross-border payments are still like they belong to the previous era. The transactions are often slow, expensive and unclear. Traditional financial systems just don’t cut it anymore for a global economy that thrives on speed and efficiency. Let us understand whether blockchain really make cross-border payments better. Why Traditional Systems Fall Short Anyone who has made an international payment knows that traditional system is a headache. The process relies on several banks and payment processors which acts as intermediaries. The system has worked for decades, but it has some flaws: • It is expensive as every intermediary charge a fee and this add up quickly. • It is slow. Transactions can take several days to complete due to different ...
Abridge AI: Silent scribe transforming healthcare interactions

Abridge AI: Silent scribe transforming healthcare interactions

Health
The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into healthcare is reshaping the way doctors interact with their patients. One example to take note here is the ambient clinical documentation tool that was introduced by UChicago Medicine and powered by Abridge AI. The tool promises to enhance patient care by streamlining process of medical note-taking as it has long been a source of distraction as well as burnout for physicians. Doctors spend hours typing detailed notes into electronic health records (EHRs) and it is often during or after visits of patient. The documentation is important and can take away from the personal connection patients need. AI can handle the task and allow the doctors to focus more on patients. AI Understands Healthcare The system is specifically design...
What makes quantum AI a game-changer for technology

What makes quantum AI a game-changer for technology

Technology
Artificial intelligence (AI) has lately become an important part of our lives and even without realizing its existence sometimes. There is a plethora of AI tools now and these are reshaping the way we work, create and interact with machines. We are gradually getting comfortable with AI capabilities and amid such a scenario there is another groundbreaking technology coming up and it is called the quantum AI. The fusion of AI with quantum computing has the potential to redefine the tech world. AI provide "brains" and quantum computing delivers the "brawn." Both together promises faster as well as more efficient processing than anything that we have ever seen before. The question now is are we ready for the leap. Quantum AI combines two powerful technologies and understanding them i...
How businesses must adapt to evolving cyber threats in 2025

How businesses must adapt to evolving cyber threats in 2025

Technology
Cybersecurity is evolving rapidly and 2025 is set to bring some new challenges as well as opportunities for the industry. Ransomware attacks are on the rise and generative AI is becoming a tool as well as a threat. Here are some of the top trends that will shape the cybersecurity space in 2025. 1. Third-Party Risk Management Takes Center Stage Recent incidents like the CrowdStrike disruption highlight the urgent need for better third-party risk management millions of devices were affected globally due to it. Businesses are gradually relying more on external vendors and AI-driven software as well. AI software stands out as a weak link. Oversight often takes a backseat when companies rush to adopt generative AI tools. It is clear that organizations can no longer ignore the ri...
