Pratik Shah, Gregory Yauney, and MIT Media Lab researchers have developed an AI model that could make glioblastoma chemotherapy regimens less toxic but still effective. It analyzes current regimens and iteratively adjusts doses to...
Rutgers scientists Mehdi Javanmard and Abbas Furniturewalla have developed a wrist wearable that can count particles, including blood cells, bacteria, and organic or inorganic air particles. Red blood cell counts can indicate internal bleeding. High or...
MIT’s Hadley Sikes has developed a sensor that determines whether cancer cells respond to a particular type of chemotherapy by detecting hydrogen peroxide inside human cells. The technology could help identify new cancer drugs that...
Georgia Tech’s Woon-Hong Yeo has developed a proof of concept, flexible, stretchable sensor that can continuously monitor hemodynamicswhen integrated with a stent like flow diverter after a brain aneurysm. Blood flow is measured using capacitance changes....
Microsoft’s Glabellaglasses, developed by Christian Holz and Edward Wang, will have integrated optical sensors that take pulse wave readings from three areas around the face, according to their recently granted patent. Blood pressure is...
Stanford’s Alberto Salleohas created a patch that continuously monitors cortisol levels in sweat. Potential uses include sports performance measurement, early disease detection, adrenal and pituitary gland monitoring, and evaluating the emotional state of young...
Acoustic sensors are increasingly used in monitoring fetal health. Imperial College’s Niamh Nowlan is using low cost, non-transmitting accelerometers and acoustic sensors to continuously track fetal movementto understand skeletal development. Acoustic sensors enable discrimination between the...
Joi Ito discussed health as an antidisciplinary system of systems at ApplySci’s last Wearable Tech + Digital Health + Neurotech conference at MIT: Join ApplySci at the 9th Wearable Tech + Digital Health +...
University of Illinois professors Bruce Schatzand David Buchnerhave developed a system to predict senior fall risk using motion sensors that measure walking patterns. 67 women over 60 were testedon walking ability, detailed past annual...
ClotChip assesses blood clotting 95 times faster than current methods, with a single single drop of blood, using miniaturized dielectric spectroscopy. A finger-prick sample is taken from heart arrhythmia, pulmonary embolism, post surgery, or hemophilia patients, to analyze...
