Over 1.7 million activity logs, comprised of an estimated 5.3 terabytes of mental health data, were left exposed online by the healthcare start-up Confidant Health .
The Austin -based firm promised to build 'the next-generation of virtual care' for those seeking addiction treatment and other behavioral therapies.
The severe privacy lapse comes amid a summer of catastrophic leaks, including July 's Independence Day ' RockYou2024' which exposed 10 billion passwords to cyber criminals.
Read maintained that Confident Health conducted its own internal security audit alongside contracted external experts to confirm the security of its patients' data. The company's policies have been updated to prevent future exposures, he said. The firm also alerted its customers to the inquiry: 'When we were notified about the improper configuration by a third -party security researcher,' Read said, 'several patient records were accessed by data security personnel.' 'Those patients have been informed that their information was accessed by non-clinical staff,' according to the co-founder..

The HodgkinHuxley (HH) network with rich internal complexity can be equivalent to a bigger leaky integrate-and-fire ( LIF ) network, where each neuron is a LIF neuron with simple internal complexity.
We uncover that one has to increase the scale of the network externally to stimulate the same dynamical properties.
An image is worth 16 16 words: transformers for image recognition at scale.

Researchers in England have created an "ultra-thin" photovoltaic coating that harvests solar energy on the go.
If incorporated into smartphones, backpacks, and even electric vehicles, the coating could offer instant, grid-free power.
The coating is just over one micron thick— about 70 times thinner than a human hair.
It could mitigate the world's reliance on massive solar farms.

U.S. Commerce Department announced $504 million in funding for 12 Regional Technology and Innovation Hubs , commonly called “ Tech Hubs” The twelve recipients were selected from the total 31 Tech Hub designees by the Biden administration in October 2023 .
The 19 remaining Tech Hubs that did not win the larger awards will each receive $ 500,000 and ongoing technical assistance from the EDA .
There are about fifty community and technical colleges included in projects across the Tech Hubs.
Some colleges are receiving direct funding, while others are securing private, state, or philanthropic contributions for their work.
Congress authorized TechHubs as a $10 billion program, but it still needs to appropriate funding as called for in the CHIPS Act .

Nanocellulose is a strong, lightweight biomaterial ideal as a composite for 3D-printing structures such as sustainable housing and vehicle assemblies.
The method, leveraging a solvent of sodium hydroxide and urea in water, can significantly lower the production cost of nanocellulosic fiber.
The findings support the development of a circular bioeconomy in which renewable, biodegradable.
The team continues to pursue additional pathways for more cost-effective nanocellulose production, including new drying processes.
Follow-on research is expected to use simulations to also predict the best combination of nano cellulose and other polymers to create fiber-reinforced composites.

The Tech for Good Institute suggests a simple framework to understand the elements that make up tech for good.
Tech for good is a descriptor for the space where technology is deployed to take on big social and environmental problems.
The sector encompassing health tech, education tech, cleantech , femtech and enterprise environmental, social and governance (ESG) software is seeing increased investments.
Facilitative tech optimizes benefits by streamlining processes, saves time, improves convenience, increases access, reduces waste or lowers cost can be a value-add.
Transformative tech is disruptive, creating new or reinventing sectors such as Fintech 's impact on the financial industry is a case in point.

At least 13 states ban or restrict students’ use of cellphones in schools statewide.
Phone-free schools movement co-founder: Phone-Free Schools must be focused on preventing more school shootings.
Phones can be a major distraction in class but a lifeline during emergencies, expert says.
Smartphones are sometimes used to record emergencies rather than run from them, an expert says.
At Apalachee , the activation of an emergency alert system has been credited with saving lives.
Smartphones can do that too, the expert says, but there is room for compromise.
Every classroom has a device to unlock the pouches that hold cellphones when it is safe to do so.
