Wearable devices are reshaping cancer care by enabling continuous, real-world monitoring of patients throughout treatment. They provide clinicians with rich streams of biometric data that help gauge fitness levels, track side effects, and predict complications earlier than traditional, episodic check-ins. Systematic reviews involving thousands of patients show high adherence (often over 80%), revealing wearables’ feasibility for treatment monitoring, rehabilitation, and prognostication. Moreover, emerging AI‑driven platforms (e.g., CardioAI for detecting treatment‑induced cardiac risk) promise to integrate wearable data with predictive analytics to catch adverse events preemptively. As evidence mounts, these tools are poised to move oncology toward personalized, proactive care—shifting from reactive visits to near‑real‑time, data-informed interventions.

Microsoft Teams is facing an uptick in caller ID spoofing scams where attackers impersonate trusted colleagues by changing their display names during calls. The VUMC Enterprise Cybersecurity (VEC) has reported instances where users received calls appearing to come from their supervisors, only for the display name or number to shift after answering. This manipulation often leads recipients to comply with suspicious requests, such as software installations or financial transactions, under the pretense of urgency. To mitigate these risks, individuals are advised to verify caller identities through independent means and to avoid engaging with unsolicited calls.

The FBI has issued a warning regarding the BADBOX 2.0 botnet, a significant threat that targets Internet of Things (IoT) devices, particularly connected TV (CTV) devices. Following the disruption of the original BADBOX campaign in 2024, this new iteration has been identified as the largest botnet of its kind, with extensive reach and complexity. Despite intervention from various cybersecurity organizations, BADBOX 2.0 persists, continuing a trend of compromising Android devices through preinstalled firmware malware and malicious apps from unofficial marketplaces. Most affected devices are linked to the Android Open Source Project and are primarily manufactured in China.

Effectively managing communication through contact centers is essential for improving patient experiences in healthcare, where issues with appointment scheduling can lead to dissatisfaction and potential provider switching. The AWS Summit in Washington, DC, showcased how Amazon Connect can address these challenges by enhancing patient interactions and optimizing staff workflows. A case study at Jupiter Medical Center in Florida demonstrated the successful application of Amazon Connect to replace inefficient legacy systems, streamline communication, and promote better integration with their electronic health record system. As a result, the center reported improved patient experience scores and fewer complaints due to more efficient call management and outreach efforts.
