Sensitivity, Specificity and Disease Testing

Disease testing isn't perfect. Illustrating how the prevalence of a disease, including COVID-19, can be estimated using an imperfect test and how probability depends on the prevalence, this blog highlights how a single test result should only be one piece of information used in determining an individual's infection status.

Working With the Silicon Labs Zigbee/BLE Multiprotocol Development Kit

Exploring Silicon Lab's BLE/Zigbee multiprotocol implementation using their development kit based on EFR32xG21 SoCs, this post details how the protocol reduces the hardware cost as you only need one radio to support two protocols.
