AI app promises to transform eye health diagnosis
The AngioGenius technology developed by the Cambridge University team was originally intended to assess space-induced vision changes that more than 75% of astronauts in space tend to experience.
Continuous glucose monitors
Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) systems offer real-time, comprehensive glucose tracking. CGMs improve safety, compliance, and management by providing dynamic data and alerts for critical glucose changes.
Five ways you might already encounter AI in cities
As this technology becomes more commonplace, it will be important to make sure residents are aware of where it exists – and what it is doing.
New wireless device detects COVID, vitamin C instantly
The researchers explained that by simultaneously detecting the virus and vitamin C levels, the test might help individuals and their healthcare providers determine more effective treatment options.
MIT engineers develop mussel-inspired super glue to stop infections
In the lab, the mussel-mucus-inspired hydroglue was deposited on glass surfaces with bacteria overnight, where it successfully prevented bacteria from forming a biofilm.
Linear actuators enhance bio-medical equipment
This family of linear actuator products help to accurately dispense a wide variety of fluids with different molecular weights, surface tensions and viscosities.
US sweat sensors use nanoparticle ink for real-time health tracking
Suggesting that this technology could help pave the way for personalized healthcare, the researchers devised a way for mass-producing a wearable sensor that monitors desired levels of drugs present in the human body.
Biocompatible nanoadhesive enhances corneal transplants, minimizing inflammation and infection risks
The nanoadhesive is based on tetrahedral framework nucleic acids mixed with functionalized polycationic recombinant proteins – a composition that reportedly minimizes the risks of tissue necrosis and inflammation common among polymeric adhesives.
AI promises to make heart attack predictions using CT scans
The AI tool is designed to analyze calcium-scoring computed tomography (CT) scans, which are commonly used for detecting arterial plaque, in combination with captured information about the aorta, heart shape, lungs, muscles and liver.
New wearable robot takes the load off workers
During trials of the wearable, WeaRo, which weighs roughly 11.5 lbs, muscle activation levels of lumbar, bicep and tricep muscles were reduced by 18.2%, 29.1% and 27.0%, respectively.
Real-time fluorescent sensor promises precise wine quality monitoring
The resulting sensor, imbued with the color-recognition capabilities of a smartphone, allows for quick, on-site detection of methylglyoxal.
Tiny biomedical robot paves the way for minimally invasive surgeries
The tiny, tube-shaped biomedical robot is capable of navigating the pathways of the human body without requiring bulky instruments.
Wearable sensor tracks breathing to detect early signs of illness
Considered an early sign patient deterioration in several diseases, including sepsis and COVID-19, changes in breathing rates could potentially be measured by the device, which has been dubbed the Pneumorator.
Steute Meditec at the Arab Health in Dubai: A look ahead to the user interfaces of the future
A new foot switch concept, wireless signal transmission and an easy-to-clean, hygienic enclosure will be on display.
Mosquito Shield cuts malaria transmission rates
The spatial repellent dubbed the Mosquito Shield is a new tool that reportedly reduced malaria infections by one-third when used in conjunction with insecticide-treated nets.
Medical-grade adhesive tapes: Enabling advanced healthcare solutions
Adhesive Applications’ mission is to provide innovative adhesive tape solutions that address the evolving needs of the medical industry.
New skin cream promises to prevent, treat skin cancer
The cream features a unique drug that has shown promise for inhibiting skin cancer formation and also for treating early-stage conditions in organ transplant patients who are given immunosuppressive medications in a bid to prevent organ rejection.
Pain-free diabetes monitoring: Innovative paper-based biosensor detects glucose through sweat
The new paper-based biosensor system uses Bacillus subtilis bacterial spores, which germinate in the presence of glucose found in potassium-rich bodily fluids like sweat.
Light-activated injectable hydrogel encourages bone regeneration
The new hydrogel system uses visible light to encourage cross-linking, wherein the primary components of the hydrogel bond and harden, simultaneously boosting mineralization.
Fundamentals of safety showers and eyewash stations
While there are some guidelines as to how to maintain and operate them, some nuances do not become visible until there has been a chemical exposure. Rather than waiting for those to occur, this article is geared towards pointing out these issues.
