Japan's Osaka Expo temporarily suspends water shows after high levels of bacteria detected
TOKYO (AP) — Popular daily fountain shows and a shallow pool area at Expo 2025 in Osaka have been temporarily suspended due to bacterial contamination that required cleaning and safety checks, the event organisers said on Monday. The aquatic show at the Water Plaza has been suspended since June 4 when legionella bacteria of up to 20 times the legal limit was detected in the water, a week after lower levels of contamination had been found. Another water area, called the Forest of Tranquility — a shallow reservoir over 2.3 hectares (5.7 acres) where visitors can soak their feet and relax — has also been closed for cleaning due to the legionella contamination, which can cause pneumonia. The bacteria contamination is the latest problem hitting the Expo site, where swarms of midges have been bothering visitors for weeks. The venue, built on a former industrial waste burial site in the Osaka Bay in western Japan, where methane gas was detected days before the opening in April. The use of insecticides have so far not effectively blocked the midges. Organizers say they now believe the source of the midges is the Water Plaza and that additional measures are under way, such as installing an insect screen. Organizers have also taken anti-bacterial measures at the water areas, including increased sanitation, cleaning drainage pipes and increasing water circulation, to improve water quality at the reservoir and get approval for a reopening from the health authorities. Hiroyuki Ishige, secretary general of the Japan Association for the 2025 World Exposition, said the organizers should have acted more quickly to close down the water area after detecting increased levels of contamination. 'We deeply apologize over the inconveniences we have caused to the visitors who were looking forward to the (water) shows,' Ishige told a media briefing on Monday. Organizers says there has been no reported health issues. The Osaka Expo involves participants from more than 160 countries, regions and organizations who are showcasing their futuristic exhibits. Organizers had expected 28 million visitors through mid-October.

Ultrahuman's absurdly expensive Home monitor doesn't do much
Smart wearables company Ultrahuman has launched a new device that monitors changes in home environments that could impact your health. Ultrahuman says its $549 Home gadge t tracks air quality, temperature, noise, light, and humidity, helping users optimize the climate within their homes to improve breathing and sleeping habits. The Ultrahuman Home resembles a Mac Mini in terms of size and appearance. Its air quality features monitor levels of fine particulate matter, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and chemical pollutants like acetone and formaldehyde. The device also tracks noise levels and various types of light exposure, including UVA, UVB, UVC, blue, red, green, and infrared, to help users 'align home lighting with their body's natural rhythm,' according to Ultrahuman. Users who have an Ultrahuman Ring wearable can pair it with the Home device to unlock an 'UltraSync' feature that suggests how environmental data may be impacting heart rate, sleep, and recovery patterns. For example, Ultrahuman says that UltraSync can suggest if the user was woken during the night by elevated noise or light levels. We should note that the Ultrahuman Home won't actually address the concerns it detects. The device is equipped with sensors and microphones for monitoring environmental changes via a mobile app, but it doesn't include features like a built-in dehumidifier or air purification, and it doesn't offer any way to integrate it into smart home ecosystems. There's no recurring subscription to pay, and Ultrahuman says the 'data and insights are with the user, always.'

Remedying Pain Points In After-Hours Patient Care With AI
Sidd Shah, Vice President, Strategy & Business Growth, healow. getty There is no defined timeframe for when patient care is needed most. At times, patients may need to reach their provider's office after hours for pressing concerns that require prompt responses. Furthermore, while chatbots and email offer an option to conveniently receive information, many patients prefer calling instead of using app-based services to receive timely responses on information such as appointment schedules and the status of medication refills. Many doctors' offices have had difficulties managing rising call volumes and voicemail messages, and patients may have had to deal with delayed responses. This creates a fragmented healthcare experience, which can leave patients feeling frustrated and put a strain on patient satisfaction. Hiring additional staff or after-hours teams to manage call volumes can be expensive and often isn't feasible for smaller, independent healthcare practices. New AI solutions, such as AI-powered contact centers, stand to transform after-hours care. By adopting these tools, practices can answer patient calls 24/7 and provide patients with the information they need in a timely manner without needing to hire additional staff. A 2025 MGMA poll found that 32% of surveyed medical group leaders listed AI tools as their top tech priority, demonstrating that the healthcare industry recognizes the potential of AI to transform the care delivery model. A December 2023 American Medical Association poll of physicians found that 24.4% of those surveyed worked in a practice that invested in after-hours care. This can be frustrating for patients, as healthcare is an around-the-clock issue, and critical needs can arise at any time of day. While emergency rooms offer 24/7 options for urgent needs, patients don't want it to be their only option; sometimes, they require real-time support to determine if it's the right option. For example, a patient may have uncomfortable symptoms such as a fever and be on the fence about whether to escalate seeking emergency care. Patients can be left feeling unsure about what the right healthcare decision is simply due to the time of day. AI assistants can offer patients the option to speak to an on-call provider who has access to their medical history and can help them promptly determine the best course of action. Solutions that address patients' after-hours care needs can improve the healthcare ecosystem by helping patients make informed decisions about seeking timely care. Healthcare staff members are not just struggling with keeping up with inbound patient calls after hours, but they're also struggling with managing call volumes during business hours. In a survey conducted at the eClinicalWorks 2024 National Conference, 62% of respondents reported that their practice spends more than four hours a day answering calls and managing appointments. This issue is poised to intensify as anticipated staffing shortages loom over provider offices. A 2024 Mercer study (via the American Hospital Association) projected a shortage of 100,000 critical healthcare workers by 2028. AI can address these pain points during and after business hours by immediately answering 100% of patient calls, never putting patients on hold and offering actionable insights—saving provider offices time and resources. When adopting AI, healthcare organizations must prioritize a few considerations and take internal steps: • Understanding Objectives: Before implementation, collaborate with the team to align on objectives (e.g., improve patient support after hours, improve patient satisfaction, reduce waiting times). • Selecting A Partner: Consider all options and select a technology or solution that will offer long-term support. It's important to have a full understanding of the adopted technology and ensure it works in harmony with electronic health record (EHR) systems and patient scheduling platforms. • Customizing And Integrating: Spend time customizing the solution to meet the practice's needs and match the practice's tone and response style. The technology partner can help guide you through this process. Once it meets those requirements, move forward with integration. • Analyzing Performance: Once integrated, consistently monitor and evaluate the technology's performance to ensure it is meeting the practice's goals or value-based care goals. Keep a close eye on response time, patient satisfaction rates and call resolution rates to understand how it's performing for patients. When properly implemented, AI can boost the efficiency of a practice while simultaneously improving patient engagement and satisfaction. It's critical to select a solution that prioritizes continuous evolution, improvements and the introduction of new capabilities to ensure the tool will benefit the practice over the long term. Currently, patients' healthcare journeys are often fragmented, defined by gaps in communications with their providers, regardless of the time of day. This no longer needs to be the case with the continuous introduction and adoption of AI that can transform healthcare delivery and improve the patient experience. Adopting an AI contact center requires strategic planning, but when done correctly, it can redefine the way patients, providers and practices communicate.
