Anti-

seasickness

mobile

Experts at Imperial College London are

now developing a mobile app they claim

will fight seasickness as well as other

types of motion sickness. A mild electric

shock is passed to the scalp via a set of

electrodes.

UK-based Daily Mail said that according

to the Imperial scientists, a mild electrical

current applied to the scalp dampens the

activity of the part of the brain responsible

for processingmotion signals. The problem

with treatments for motion sickness is that

the effective ones are usually tablets that

also make people drowsy, but the currents

involved are very small and there is no

reason to expect any adverse effects from

short term use.

The device or mobile app, which should

be available soon to the public, can

fight motion sickness symptoms of

dizziness, severe nausea and cold sweats

experienced by passengers and workers

onboard boats.

Emirates Transport offers 7 main services on its “Emirates

Transport” mobile app, which is available on App Store and

Google Play. In the first half of this year, Emirates Transport

achieved 100% of smart transformation requirements.

The “Emirates Transport” app offers a host of transport and

relevant technical services includingbookinganappointment for

preventive or corrective maintenance, booking an appointment

for technical inspection, and more specific services such as

changing bus routes, requesting contract for the provision of

student transport services at private schools, and providing

details of students transported by bus to parents. The app

further allows Emirates Transport customers to apply for and

participate in auctions organized by it.
