UCSF’s Joaquin Anguera and the UW’s Patricia Arean have published a study detailing the use of video games to treat late life depression. They claim that the EVO interface targets underlying cognitive issues associated with depression, and does not simply manage...
ETH professor Klaas Prussmann has developed technology to improve MRI accuracy by detecting tiny changes in magnetic fields. An MRI’s strong magnetic field, which makes it difficult for sensors to detect up small details. Prussmann’s integrated...
Technion professor Hossam Haick has developed a nanosystem that can identify the breath signatures of many diseases, including kidney failure, lung cancer, Crohn’s disease, MS, prostate and ovarian cancer. Each compound’s relative abundance in a person’s breath is...
Infections in prostheses, for amputees, and in joint replacements, are common, often found too late, and can necessitate additional surgeries or worse complications. Current detection methods include MRI, CT, and X-ray. Ken Loh and UCSD...
University of Minnesota professor Bin He has created a brain computer interface to control a robotic arm with out an implant. In a recent study, EEG alone was used to allow 8 people to move objects in...
Kyocera has developed a tiny optical sensor to measure blood flow volume in subcutaneous tissue, meant to be integrated into a phone or wearable. Potential applications include monitoring stress and preventing dehydration, heat stroke, and altitude...
Cognito Therapeutics is developing a device-driven approach to Alzheimer’s treatment. Based on research by MIT’s Ed Boyden, globally recognized for his work in optogenetics, and Li-Hue Tsai, director of the Picower Institute for Learning and Memory, flickering-light stimulation has been...
