单集简介 ...

For centuries, people who’ve survived near-death experiences have told eerily similar and strange stories. They talk of bright lights, a feeling of euphoria, life flashing before their eyes. For much of that time, such accounts were often relegated to the realm of mysticism. But now, some scientists are beginning to reconsider what happens to you when you’re on the very edge of life and death.

  • Hi, I'm Katie Prescott from the Times Tech Podcast.

  • AI is already changing business and medicine, but could it also change the way we look after our own health?

  • In a special episode in Paid Partnership with Vitality, we look at how AI, wearables

  • and everyday health data could help shift healthcare from treating illness to preventing it.

  • Listen to the Times Tech Podcast wherever you get your podcasts.

  • Before AT&T Business Wireless, it was hard to keep our deliveries on track.

  • Missed turns and delayed routes would quickly impact the business.

  • One day, our driver even had to make a 14-point turn just to get back on route.

  • A 14-point turn!

  • Now, with AT&T Business Wireless, routes update in real time and deliveries arrive on schedule.

  • Which means we can spend less time dealing with disruptions and more time focused on running the business.

  • When the connection matters, it has to be AT&T.

  • Get AT&T Business at att.com slash 5G network.

  • From the Times and the Sunday Times, this is The Story on Saturday.

  • I'm Luke Jones.

  • For centuries, people who survived near-death experiences have told eerily similar and strange stories.

  • They talk of bright lights, a feeling of euphoria, life flashing before their eyes, an otherworldly presence, perhaps.

  • This has long been dismissed as mystical woo-woo.

  • But near-death experiences are now being properly investigated.

  • Some scientists are beginning to reconsider what happens to you when you're on the very edge of life and death.
