Open Wide: Robots Are Doing Dental Implants in DFW
by David Seeley | Jun 9, 2022
The Yomi robotic system, developed by Miami-based Neocis, is assisting with dental implants in at least two Dallas-area practices. "It works like a GPS navigation system for the mouth,” says Coppell's Dr. J. Robert Steele. At ArchPoint in Dallas, 172 implants in 90 cases have been placed using Yomi, with patients being "intrigued" by the "minimally invasive experience."
Cool fact to watch for below: Yomi's co-developer won an Emmy for creating ESPN's "K-Zone" pitch tracker.

Preventing Heatstroke Deaths: Plano-Based Toyota Uses 4D Radar to Detect Passengers Who’ve Been Left Behind
by David Seeley | May 31, 2022
In 2021 alone, 23 kids in the U.S. died of heatstroke after being left in hot cars. Now a team from Plano-based Toyota Connected North America has developed new tech that uses millimeter-wave, high-resolution 4D imaging radar to detect passengers who've been left behind in a vehicle.
When that happens, a long list of alerts from car honks to flashing lights to texts and smart home device messages could lead to the biggest impact of all: saving a child's life.
