Nothing like reading up on medical tech to make us go out and get a greasy burger: Advances in medical technology never cease to amaze, and this diabetes pill modeled on a tortoise’s shell that injects insulin directly into the stomach wall, is no exception. The FT breaks down the science, including how the pill’s shape allows it to right itself after being swallowed, just as a tortoise’s shell allows the tortoise to flip back onto its feet if it is upended. Other technological advances poised to revolutionize healthcare include telehealth, digital platforms that connect patients to doctors, 3D printing — which could eliminate the need for organ donors — and AI, including predictive analytics for patient monitoring.

And the feel-good medical tech stories keep on coming: The Verge road tested two apps being rolled out by Google that could be a huge boost for the hard of hearing. Live Transcribe automatically transcribes speech in real time and is surprisingly accurate, adding punctuation and correctly capitalizing the sentence “I am buying a new jersey in New Jersey.” A pulsing mic icon indicates whether or not you need to move the microphone closer and a keyboard allows you to type replies. The app supports up to 70 languages and doesn’t save any transcriptions or use data to improve its algorithms. Sign up here if you’d like to be notified when Live Transcribe becomes available. Meanwhile, Sound Amplifier, available on the Play Store, allows users to adjust a variety of sliders to enhance hearing through plugged in headphones (yes, we rolled our eyes too.)
