Americans nationwide face hefty increases in their homeowner’s insurance premiums in the coming years, a report by the Fi...

It can simulate a number of medical conditions and scenarios in real time that emergency room staff might rarely experience — and therefore only be able to practice infrequently.“I don’t know anyone who doesn’t get more emotionally revved up when it’s a pediatric patient. It naturally happens,” said Zachary Schoenberger, an emergency room nurse at the hospital. “Everything feels more intense, everyone’s more ramped up. The reality of working with a smaller patient is, everything is more delicate and smaller so doing the procedures is more difficult.”“So having this doll to refine our skills on just makes it so much easier and more successful for us when we have to do this with true patients,” he said.The robot, which the hospital dubbed “Luna,” not only mov...
