She has multiple chronic health problems, including heart failure, and uses an oxygen tank at home. But her request for supplemental oxygen while hospitalized was denied, Starr said, because readings ...

The doctors and nurses didn’t believe Tomisa Starr was having trouble breathing. Two years ago, Starr, 61, of Sacramento, California, was in the hospital for a spike in her blood pressure.

But her request for supplemental oxygen while hospitalized was denied, Starr said, because readings from a pulse oximeter on her finger falsely indicated that she was getting plenty of air on her own.

Encased in beeswax, the batteries can power small sensors to monitor temperature, light, and humidity in agriculture and environmental research. The biodegradable 3D-printed cells are encased in ...

A demo of Ambient Sensing for Zigbee lights shows how smart lights could soon be used as motion sensors with just a firmware update and no additional hardware. Philips Hue products may soon ...
