AI tool promises to predict fatal heart rhythm
To develop technology capable of predicting a patient’s risk of developing this condition, the AI tool, dubbed VA-ResNet-50, examined Holter electrocardiograms (ECGs) of 270 patients.
A jewel of a wearable medical sensor
It may look like an ordinary piece of jewelry, but this ring is actually an internet of medical things (IoMT) device.
pH measurement in bioprocessing
Discover why pH is a critical process parameter when producing and harvesting biological material.
MSI Viking announces partnership with QC Training Services
The partnership will expand coverage of quality topics in metrology insights and training opportunities.
Allrounder 520 A: Innovative IML application for medical technology
The sustainable in-mold labeling (IML) application with high repetition accuracy and added value is ideal for the pharmaceutical and medical technology industries.
New AI-powered patch lets wearers speak without vocal cords
The soft, thin, stretchy bioelectric device, which measures just over 1 square inch, can be attached to the skin of the throat.
LivaNova recalls implantable VNS therapy device due to reset error
LivaNova has issued a recall of the VNS Therapy SenTiva Generator System due to reset error.
Researchers are 3D printing eyeballs
The new approach is considered, by its developers, faster, more accurate and less expensive than current techniques for manufacturing artificial eyeballs.
New nanopipette designed to poke into cancer cells
The nanopipette, which is controlled via robotic software, features two nanoscopic needles to enable the simultaneous sample injection and extraction from the cell.
Human heart-on-a-chip advances drug and disease modeling
The device is intended to overcome the limitations of animal-based trials with a tool that more accurately replicates interactions of cells within the heart.
Two-handed robots are better than one-handed robots...at providing care
Such a development promises to enable care workers to spend less time performing these tasks and instead turn their attention to the health and mental well-being of patients.
A gel for shielding surgical wounds
Endoscopically applied to a surgical site, the gel creates a tough yet flexible protective layer for the damaged area thereby preventing delayed bleeding and reinforcing the mechanical integrity of tissue.
New liquid coating prevents 80% of cavities
Through a school-based cavity prevention study dubbed CariedAway, researchers discovered that silver diamine fluoride (SDF) prevented cavities and shielded existing cavities from worsening.
Wiring heart pumps to prevent patient infection
Replacing the thick cable that connects the implanted device to an external battery with thinner, flexible wires can prevent bacterial infection.
How to measure pH in small volume sample
Sensors are available that can help to measure pH in small samples directly without diluting them.
A test for detecting fentanyl, other opioids in less than three minutes
The new blood test can analyze 96 blood samples that might contain opioids such as fentanyl simultaneously and in under three minutes — reportedly twice as fast as similar techniques.
Team treats foot ulcers with plasma
The researchers explain that using plasma to treat chronic interior wounds and diabetic foot ulcers means that antibiotics, and subsequently, antibiotic resistance, might be avoided.
An artificial tongue for detecting, inactivating common mouth bacteria
Designed to treat and manage dental diseases, the artificial tongue is based on a chemical sensor array that features a combination of multiple sensors.
