Lawson Health Research Institute, Mind Research Network and Brainnetome Center researchers have developed an algorithm that analyzes brain scans to classify illness in patients with complex mood disorders and help predict their response to medication....
Google’s Lily Peng has developed an algorithm that can predict heart attacks and strokes by analyzing images of the retina. The system also shows which eye areas lead to successful predictions, which can provide...
John Rogers‘ latest stretchable electronics breakthrough will transform stroke rehabilitation. The throat-worn wearable, developed with the Shirley Ryan AbilityLab, measures patients’ swallowing ability and patterns of speech, and aids in aphasia diagnosis. The Shirley Ryan...
University of Washington’s Jae-Hyun Chung has developed a disposable wearable sensor made with tissue paper. It can detect a heartbeat, finger force, finger movement, eyeball movement, gait patterns, and other actions. Tearing the nanocomposite paper...
Gianni Ciofani of ITT Pisa has created a device that reproduces a 1:1 scale model of the blood-brain barrier. The combination of 3D printed artificial and biological components will allow the study of new...
Takao Someya at the University of Tokyo has developed a hypoallergenic, inflammation free, wearable e-skin health sensor that can be worn comfortably for a week. Somaya believes that this technology is the basis for...
NUS researchers Zhang Yong and John Ho have developed a tumor-targeting method that remotely conveys light for photodynamic treatment. The tiny, wireless, implanted device delivers doses of light over a long period in a programmable...
EPFL’s José Millán has developed a brain-controlled, highly portable exoskeleton, that can be quickly secured around joints with velcro. Metal cables act as soft tendons on the back of each finger, with the palm...
Earlier this year, University of Houston’s Jose Luis Contreras-Vidal developed a closed-loop BCI/EEG/VR/physical therapy system to control gait as part of a stroke/spinal cord injury rehab program. The goal was to promote and enhance...
UConn’s Thanh Duc Nguyen has developed a biodegradable pressure sensor to monitor chronic lung disease, swelling of the brain, and other health issues. It is small and flexible and designed to replace existing, potentially...
