Bitcoin fell on Monday as volatility in the price of the world's largest cryptocurrency continues following an executive order signed by President Donald Trump to create a strategic bitcoin reserve for the United States. Bitcoin was trading at $81,712, down over 5% but off earlier lows, at 9:42 a.m. Singapore time, according to Coin Metrics. The reserve will be funded by coins that have been seized in criminal and civil forfeiture cases and there are no plans for the U.S. government to buy more bitcoin. After the strategic reserve announcement last Thursday, crypto prices declined as investors were disappointed it wasn't a more aggressive program.

From listening devices that detect falls to "patient sitter" systems in hospitals and robots helping with exercise in care homes, Singapore is looking to artificial intelligence to help manage the health of its elderly population. By 2030, a quarter of Singaporeans will be 65 or older — in 2010, the figure was one in 10 — and it's estimated that around 6,000 nurses and care staff will need to be hired annually to meet Singapore's health workforce targets. Technology is much needed to help fill the care gap in Singapore and elsewhere, according to Chuan De Foo, a research fellow at Singapore's Saw Swee Hock School of Public Health. Societies around the world are "dismally unprepared" for an aging population, Foo wrote in the science journal Frontiers last month, and with his co-authors described AI and other technologies as "pivotal forces with the potential to drive a paradigm shift in healthcare."

Ellen Pompeo's favorite part about her 20 years on "Grey's Anatomy" has nothing to do with the show itself. In an interview with People, the TV star said the financial security that portraying Meredith Grey affords her has been the best part of being on the long-running show. Pompeo in 2017 became the highest-paid woman on television and reportedly brings home $20 million a year from "Grey's."

If you didn't file a tax return for 2021, it might be worth doing so — you could be leaving money on the table. The Internal Revenue Service has been sending out Covid-19 stimulus check money worth as much as $1,400 to around 1 million tax filers who didn't receive them. Since the credit was originally self-claimed, the IRS is now automatically sending these payments to ensure eligible taxpayers get what they're owed. Called the Recovery Rebate Credit, the tax provision helps people claim missed stimulus payments from 2021. If you were eligible but didn't receive the funds, you can still claim it. But there's a catch: You must file a tax return by April 15, 2025.

After landing internship offers from Amazon, Meta and TikTok, computer science student Chungin "Roy" Lee has decided to move to San Francisco. But he won't be joining any of those companies.

The nation's new top health official could further erode already falling U.S. vaccination rates against once-common childhood diseases, a development that comes as a growing measles outbreak has led to the first U.S. death from the disease in a decade. Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a prominent vaccine skeptic, now leads the Department of Health and Human Services and wields enormous power over the federal agencies that regulate vaccines and set shot recommendations. Kennedy tried to distance himself from his previous views during his Senate confirmation hearings, claiming that he isn't "anti-vaccine" and would not make it "difficult or discourage people from taking" routine shots for measles and polio.
