How can AI-based movement monitoring support rehabilitation after hip fracture without compromising older adults’ autonomy and person-centred care?
I am developing a doctoral research direction involving AI-assisted movement monitoring for older adults recovering after hip fracture. The intended role is to identify movement patterns or fall-risk indicators and support timely, individualized rehabilitation—not to replace clinical judgment or human interaction. What design features and outcome measures would best demonstrate that such a system is clinically useful, acceptable to older adults, and ethically implemented? I am particularly...

For respiratory viruses, should folks wear masks in public a) always, b) if they are or may be infected, or c) if they are afraid of getting infected? Are masks a) protection, or b) social signals?
Since 2020, the public has thought of masks as having a protective purpose, and many rebel at the inconvenience, rationalizing that “they do a poor job of protecting.” Is the current epidemic a good opportunity for government and medicine to teach the folks about the more important virtues of using masks to convey information?

In austere/conflict settings, when does a complex surgery become ethically unjustifiable due to a lack of postoperative resources for managing complications?
As surgeons, we are trained to operate to solve a clinical problem. However, in severely resource-limited or conflict environments, this principle is constantly tested. Consider a scenario: A surgeon has the technical skill to perform a complex procedure (e.g., a pancreaticoduodenectomy for a tumor, or a complex limb salvage after trauma). However, the hospital lacks a reliable ICU, has inconsistent access to blood products, cannot provide parenteral nutrition, and has limited options for...

Does the anti-aging gene Sirtuin 1 need to be measured in early disease screening in COVID-19 and AIDS patients?
The defective gene in the global chronic disease epidemic has now been linked to the anti-aging gene Sirtuin 1. Sirtuin 1 is now an important gene for consideration in Frontiers and Genetics. Nutritional regulation of Sirtuin 1 is critical to nuclear receptors/transcription factors that are involved with glucose homeostasis, immune system, body temperature regulation, stem cell therapy and mitochondrial biogenesis. Plasma Sirtuin 1 levels may be of critical interest to COVID-19, AIDS and the...
Pings FAQ
What is a Ping?
A Ping is a single science-based question. The question comes from a fellow SciPinion Expert who is seeking input from the expert community. All participation in this service (i.e. asking or answering questions) is voluntary and anonymous if you prefer.
Can I post a Ping?
Yes, all SciPinion Experts are able to ask questions for the expert community to answer, provided you have Ping Credits. All Experts start with 3 Ping Credits (i.e., can ask 3 questions), and have the opportunity to earn more (e.g., by answering Pings from other experts, applying to panel opportunities).
Can I sponsor a Paid Ping?
Yes, please contact SciPinion if you would like to sponsor a Paid Ping.
What do I get for answering a Ping?
By answering a question from a fellow SciPinion Expert you earn 1 Ping Credit, which allows you to sponsor your own Ping (e.g., for every question you answer, you can ask your own question)
You also receive the satisfaction of helping your fellow experts and supporting the scientific community.
