Applied Digital

A widely used digital mental health screening test is reportedly showing weaknesses when applied to autistic young people, raising concerns that it may not accurately measure their mental health needs. The findings point to broader questions about how well standardised digital assessment tools serve neurodivergent populations. Clinicians and researchers are being urged to interpret results for autistic youth with caution.

Interesting Engineering has published an explainer on how e-ink displays work, outlining the science behind digital paper technology. E-ink screens use tiny microcapsules containing charged black and white particles that shift when a voltage is applied, creating text and images with minimal power and no backlight. The piece arrives amid ongoing interest in e-readers and low-power display technology.
