Apologizing for Technology

September 6, 2017 By Bryan Vartabedian · Reading Time: < 1 minutes

I was reading this interview with an MIT scientist who developed a machine learning tool to assess pain.

Doctors and the Future of Touch

October 14, 2011 By Bryan Vartabedian · Reading Time: 2 minutes

I wonder about the future of touch. I suffer with herniated lumbar disks. L4-L5 bulges and ruptures on occasion.
