Eko, a Berkeley-based cardiac screening and monitoring company founded by UC Berkeley alumni, gained approval from the Food and Drug Administration for algorithms that screen heart murmurs and atrial fibrillation, which will pair with its artificial intelligence-powered, or AI, stethoscope.

SQUELCH!, the student political party that celebrates satire, has broken from tradition in recent years to solidify its status as a serious third-party option for voters.

Student Action, one of the two dominant student political parties in the ASUC, is breaking from past tradition this election season, throwing the bulk of its party support behind a sole executive candidate.

The SQUELCH! party announced, for the second consecutive year, a slate of entirely non-satirical candidates for ASUC Senate Monday night.

Family doctors’ iPhones may soon be incorporated into regular check ups to help monitor and detect heart conditions, thanks to a new startup company run by UC Berkeley students.

The ASUC Senate voted to table a bill that called for the ASUC to seek “investment opportunities that strengthen Israeli-Palestinian cooperation” at its meeting Wednesday night.
