Nigerian writer Ayọ̀bámi Adébáyọ̀ took the literary world by storm with her debut novel Stay With Me in 2017.

Key Points:

Nigerian writer Ayọ̀bámi Adébáyọ̀ took the literary world by storm with her debut novel Stay With Me in 2017.
Six years later, she has followed up with an equally brilliant second novel, A Spell of Good Things, which has been longlisted for the Booker Prize 2023.

What it’s about

He dreams of attending the best secondary school and hopes to go to university some day.
But his dreams are shattered when the government retrenches his father from his job as a history teacher.
Her father, who comes from “old money”, is a successful lawyer and businessman known for sponsoring politicians running for elections.

The politics of poverty

By contrasting his impoverished family with her upper-middle-class one, the novel exposes the severe class divide that’s deeply embedded within Nigeria’s socio-political landscape.
It also demonstrates how Nigerian leaders and politicians keep the children of the masses out of school through their callous devastation of the education system.
Put another way, A Spell of Good Things is an honest attempt at highlighting the grinding weight of poverty, which, again, is often a result of the government’s dereliction of duty.

A love letter to Nigerian literature

A Spell of Good Things is also a love letter to Nigerian literature.
Throughout, the characters make reference to works of foundational Nigerian writers such as Chinua Achebe, Buchi Emecheta and TM Aluko.

A breath of fresh air

A Spell of Good Things is a breath of fresh air for so many reasons.
First, it’s proof that a contemporary Nigerian story does not have to be set in Lagos or Enugu to have universal legibility.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass., April 12, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Implicity, a leader in remote patient monitoring and cardiac data management solutions, introduced a new algorithm designed to reduce alert fatigue in the remote monitoring of patients with atrial fibrillation (AF).

Key Points:

Implicity's AF Alert Management feature addresses AF burden, reducing alerts for patients who are taking anticoagulants and have a low risk of complications while triggering notifications the moment there is a significant change in a patient's condition that requires intervention or adjustments to treatment.
"The AF Alert Management tool optimizes AFib burden management, allowing providers to focus on clinically significant events," said Adélie Cerrato, Product Manager at Implicity.
This, in turn, can lead to better patient outcomes as they receive appropriate care when needed."
Implicity's algorithm works with any device that collects atrial burden trends data and can classify the following scenarios in line with ESC recommendations:
