Researchers Develop Internet Crystal Ball To Predict Heart Disease And Diabetes Risk
Scientific researchers have developed internet crystal ball to predict early symptoms of heart attack and also prevent the risk of diabetes. Internet crystal ball is a metabolic calculator that will predict the patient’s risk of developing heart attacks and diabetes. This process is far more accurate than that of the traditional methods.
This tool will indirectly prompt the patients to make certain changes in lifestyle that would spare them from suffering from the attack.
“This tells a patient, ‘On the risk spectrum you are here, and you are in a position where we are worried you are going to have a cardiovascular attack in the next 10 years’” says Mark DeBoer (who developed the metabolic crystal ball) from the University of Virginia in the US.
He also added saying that this hypothesis will give specific information about the risk so that the patients can understand and eventually be motivated to make some changes in their lifestyle.
These five factors are studied to predict the risk for cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes: Obesity, high blood pressure, high fasting blood sugar, low HDL (good) cholesterol and also high fasting triglycerides. Patients with abnormalities in any of these 3 are diagnosed and suggest that they have an elevated risk for future health problems.
This metabolic crystal ball was studied on more than 13,000 people and found that the tool was a better risk predictor. This could also be incorporated in the electronic medical record to calculate the risk and the same can be provided to the physician. The final outcome is to make the patient understand the risk and start taking some preventive steps.
UAE-based G42 has announced plans to deploy an 8 exaflop AI supercomputer in India, announced at the AI Impact Summit 2026 in Delhi. This national-scale project partners with Cerebras, MBZUAI, and India’s C-DAC, operating under full Indian data sovereignty as part of the India AI Mission.
The supercomputer boosts sovereign AI capabilities, enabling startups, researchers, academics, SMEs, and government access for tailored applications like public services and language tech. G42 India CEO Manu Jain highlighted its role in making India AI-native while prioritizing security.
This follows India-UAE tech pacts in late 2025, positioning India among global leaders in exaflop AI infrastructure amid rising demand for localized compute. Cerebras CSO Andy Hock noted it will accelerate large model training for India-specific needs.
Google has launched the Google Startup Hub Hyderabad, a major step in strengthening India’s dynamic startup ecosystem. This new initiative aims to empower entrepreneurs, innovators, and developers by giving them access to Google’s global expertise, mentoring programs, and advanced cloud technology. The hub reflects Google’s mission to fuel India’s digital transformation and promote innovation through the Google for Startups program.
Located in the heart of one of India’s top tech cities, the Google Startup Hub in Hyderabad will host mentorship sessions, training workshops, and networking events designed for early-stage startups. Founders will receive Google Cloud credits, expert guidance in AI, product development, and business scaling, and opportunities to collaborate with Google’s global mentors and investors. This ecosystem aims to help Indian startups grow faster and compete globally.
With Hyderabad already home to tech giants like Google, Microsoft, and Amazon, the launch of the Google Startup Hub Hyderabad further cements the city’s position as a leading innovation and technology hub in India. Backed by a strong talent pool and robust infrastructure, this hub is set to become a growth engine for next-generation startups, driving innovation from India to global markets.
- Jio Platforms has launched JioPC, a cloud-based virtual desktop service that transforms any television connected to a Jio Set Top Box into a fully functional computer.
- Users simply connect a keyboard and mouse to access a desktop-like environment, complete with web browsing, productivity tools, and educational apps—all without needing a physical PC or extra hardware.
- The service is device-agnostic and works with all consumer PC brands, making advanced computing accessible and affordable for millions across India.
JioPC is designed to support a wide range of activities, from professional work to online learning and creative projects. By leveraging Jio’s robust cloud infrastructure, users can run even compute-intensive AI applications directly from their TV screens. The platform also ensures data security and reliability, as all files and settings are safely stored in the cloud, protecting users from data loss even if their device is reset or replaced.
With JioPC, Jio aims to democratize digital access and bring high-performance computing to Indian households at a fraction of the traditional cost. The service supports popular productivity suites like LibreOffice and Microsoft Office online, and Jio is offering a free trial to encourage users to experience the benefits firsthand. This innovative move is set to reshape how people in India work, learn, and connect in the digital age.
