Abstract
Remote patient monitoring (RPM) systems face two critical unsolved challenges: (1) Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) data continuity failure when progressive web applications (PWAs) enter background execution, causing silent, irrecoverable loss of patient biometric data; and (2) large language model (LLM) hallucination during clinical alert generation, where AI fabricates vital sign values at rates of 15-40% in clinical interpretation tasks. This paper presents PulseView, a three-tier architecture that addresses both challenges simultaneously through a novel combination of edge-decimated biometric ingestion and deterministic AI clinical orchestration. Tier 1 introduces a native micro-buffer daemon that maintains BLE GATT subscriptions independently of the web-view lifecycle, achieving zero data loss with 24:1 time-series compression. Tier 2 implements a stateful temporal aggregation engine that computes per-parameter Z-scores against patient-specific 72-hour rolling baselines and a Multi-Variate Correlation Index (MVCI) using simplified Mahalanobis distance. Tier 3 introduces the paper's primary contribution: a rule-based AI validation layer that constrains LLM operations, intercepts every output for four-category hallucination detection with ±5% tolerance cross-referencing against verified ground truth, and substitutes deterministic fallback templates when hallucination rates exceed configurable thresholds. A working prototype has been developed and is available upon request. The system is described in USPTO Provisional Patent Application #64/005,956, filed March 15, 2026.
This publication proposes a definition and a classification of agile software development approaches and analyses ten software development methods that can be characterized as being "agile" against the defined criterion.

The study shows that agile practices improve both informal and formal communication, but indicates that, in larger development situations involving multiple external stakeholders, a mismatch of adequate communication mechanisms can sometimes even hinder the communication.

The results indicate that software engineering work practices are chosen opportunistically, adapted and configured to provide value under the constrains imposed by the startup context.

The perception of the impact of agile methods is predominantly positive, and several challenge areas were discovered, but based on this study, agile methods are here to stay.

Professor Paris Smaragdis develops computers with superhuman hearing for applications like speech recognition, music understanding, and environmental monitoring.
For decades, a fundamental question about the difficulty of computing in high-dimensional spaces has resisted proof. New research resolves this question, removing a major theoretical obstacle to understanding the efficiency of randomized algorithms used across science and computing. The Kannan–Lovász–Simonovits (KLS) conjecture was proposed in 1995. It asks whether, for a broad class of high-dimensional […] The post Solving a 31-year-old grand challenge in mathematics – the KLS conjecture appear…
