AI diagnostics: Approaches and applications
AI diagnostic decision systems (DDS) feature the capacity to diagnose many complex health conditions, such as cardiac and blood abnormalities.
Color-changing wound dressing reveals infections
According to its developers, the dressing will change color to indicate that the wound is infected without interfering with the healing process.
Video: Swallow this dosimeter for accurate radiotherapy monitoring
The swallowable X-ray dosimeter accurately estimates radiation dose based on radioluminescence and temperature.
MIT's vaccine printer produces 100 thumbnail-sized vaccine-filled patches in two days
According to MIT, the printer can reportedly manufacture thumbnail sized patches featuring hundreds of microneedles that contain thermostable COVID-19 RNA vaccines.
A healthy use for legacy nuclear waste
A project is underway to convert legacy nuclear material now stored at U.S. Oak Ridge National Laboratory into rare medical isotopes for the treatment of various cancers.
Non-invasive technology turns thoughts into words
Unlike other systems developed to decode language, this one doesn't require surgical implants.
Implantable fuel cell sweetens insulin delivery
The power source harnesses the excess glucose from the patient’s tissues to generate electrical energy and control insulin delivery.
AI to help doctors triage wounded soldiers
Using a combination of CT scans and AI, the new software is expected to allow doctors to triage patients in immediate need of medical intervention but without visible wounds.
Pneumatic Shockwave Therapy Machine launched for non-invasive pain management
Pneumatic shockwave therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses high-energy sound waves to promote healing and reduce pain in patients with musculoskeletal conditions.
This smart, wooden tongue depressor checks vitals
The team envisions that future iterations of the smart, wooden tongue depressor could be tuned to detect other saliva biomarkers.
Qosina introduces new genderless AseptiQuik W Series connectors for large-volume, high-flow production environments
These connectors enable quick and easy sterile connections in large-volume, high-flow production and process intensification environments.
Watch how soft robotic chains form minimally invasive surgical tools
Reconfigurable soft robotic technology self-folds into large assemblies to form different surgical instruments with programmable shapes and functions.
Humanoid robot GARMI eyed for healthcare tasks
The wheel-mounted GARMI can reportedly serve food and beverages, assist with household tasks, open bottles of water, make emergency calls and assist with physical activities.
Tiny nanofluidic device delivers cancer drugs directly to pancreatic tumors
The nanofluidic drug-eluting seed (NDES) delivers low-dose immunotherapy via CD40 monoclonal antibodies (mAb) — which encourages the immune system to fight tumor cells — directly to pancreatic tumors to treat the aggressive form of pancreatic cancer.
Electrodes evolve inside living tissue
The ability to grow electrodes in living tissue paves the way for the formation of fully integrated electronic circuits in organisms.
