FACEAPP: FUN OR DANGEROUS?
|
From celebrities to family members, our social media feeds are filled with the latest meme challenge that shows us what we might have looked like in our our youth or will look like as senior citizens. What’s so different about this version of face alteration? The technology has advanced and the images not only look real, they look great! While it may be a somewhat superficial exercise, we welcome any opportunity to embrace aging and take away some of the fear associated with growing older. Look below for some fun photos of Executive Director of Development, Jo Rosen.

With any trend comes controversy. It has come to light that the popular app is owned by a Russian company, Wireless Lab, and the terms and conditions of usage are causing concern.
Essentially, once you download and use FaceApp, you're giving this company the exclusive right to do whatever it desires with any photo you upload to the app. Privacy in today's age is a very real issue that we face, but should one be concerned if a company has use of their image they willingly upload? Is this app a potential threat or a fun trend for the time being?

REVOLUTIONARY BURN AND WOUND CARE
|
Imagine if bandaging looked a little more like, well, a water gun?
Israeli startup
Nanomedic Technologies Ltd
., a subsidiary of medical device company Nicast, has invented a new mechanical contraption to treat burns, wounds, and surgical injuries by mimicking human tissue. Shaped like a children’s toy, the lightweight SpinCare emits a proprietary nanofiber “second skin” that completely covers the area that needs to heal.
All one needs to do is aim, squeeze the two triggers, and fire off an electrospun polymer material that attaches to the skin.
The Nanomedic spray method avoids any need to come into direct contact with the wound. In that sense, it completely sidesteps painful routine bandage dressings. The transient skin then fully develops into a secure physical barrier with tough adherence. Once new skin is regenerated, usually between two to three weeks (depending on the individual’s heal time), the layer naturally peels off.
“You don’t replace it,” explains Nanomedic CEO Dr. Chen Barak. “You put it only once—on the day of application—and it remains there until it feels the new layer of skin healed.”
