Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) is a progressive genetic disorder characterized by muscle wasting due to the absence of the protein dystrophin. For decades, treatment focused primarily on symptom management, but recent breakthroughs are now targeting the underlying genetic cause of the disease.

Standard care traditionally involves the use of corticosteroids, which help to prolong muscle strength and delay the loss of ambulation by reducing inflammation. While effective, long-term steroid use is associated with side effects such as bone density loss and weight gain. To address the root of the problem, researchers have developed exon-skipping therapies. These "molecular patches" allow the cell's machinery to bypass the specific genetic mutation, resulting in the production of a shorter but functional version of the dystrophin protein.

The most recent frontier in DMD treatment is gene therapy. This involves using a viral vector to deliver a "micro-dystrophin" gene directly into the muscle cells. Because the…

As parents, our "to-do" lists are never-ending, and managing the family finances often feels like a second job. Between school fees, grocery runs, and saving for the future, we need tools that work as hard as we do. At LeMama, we’re all about finding ways to simplify life, and that’s where Open Banking comes in.

While it sounds like a complex technical term, Open Banking is actually a lifestyle shift that gives you more control, more clarity, and more time to focus on what matters: your family.

Context-aware computing refers to systems and applications that can sense, interpret, and respond to their environment in a meaningful way. Rather than operating on static inputs, these systems adapt their behavior based on contextual information such as user location, time, activity, device status, preferences, and surrounding conditions. By embedding awareness into computation, technology becomes more intuitive, proactive, and aligned with real-world situations, reducing the need for explicit user instructions.

At the core of context-aware computing is the concept of “context,” which encompasses any information that can be used to characterize the situation of an entity. This entity may be a person, device, place, or digital object. Context can be broadly categorized into physical context, such as location, temperature, lighting, or movement, and logical context, such as user goals, schedules, social relationships, or behavioral patterns. Modern systems often combine multiple context types to create a holistic understanding of the user’s situation.
