Near-Real-Time Sepsis Monitoring and Alerting System to Help Reduce Hospital Readmission Rates
The onset of sepsis is fast, expensive, and deadly. Early awareness and quick action are critical. Now, a lifesaving, early detection sepsis technology is designed to provide the best possible information to clinicians to make the best possible, time-critical decisions. More...11 Jan 2023
Tiny Implantable Device Helps Kill Cancer
Researchers have reported encouraging results in laboratory studies testing a tiny implantable device they call a SymphNode, which is designed to keep regulatory T cells in check only in the area around a tumor while summoning and strengthening tumor-fighting cells. The device was shown to drive tumors into remission, eliminate metastasis, prevent the growth of new tumors and result in longer survival in mice. More...06 Jan 2023
Stretchable Strain Sensor Used to Create New Wearable Blood Pressure Devices
Researchers have developed a stretchable strain sensor that has an unprecedented combination of sensitivity and range, allowing it to detect even minor changes in strain with greater range of motion than previous technologies. The researchers demonstrated the sensor’s utility by creating new health monitoring and human-machine interface devices. More...05 Jan 2023
Capsule-Sized Biobatteries Could Power Ingestible Cameras in Small Intestine
Tech companies have developed many devices that work outside the body, such as cell phones, smart watches, tablets and hundreds of others. Inside the body, though? That’s obviously trickier for several reasons, but power for a device is a big one. Now, biobattery researchers think they have a solution for the hard-to-reach small intestine, which winds around the human gut for an average of 22 feet. More...28 Dec 2022
Wearable Skin Patch Monitors Hemoglobin in Deep Tissues to Help Diagnose Tumors
A team of engineers has developed an electronic patch that can monitor biomolecules in deep tissues, including hemoglobin. This gives medical professionals unprecedented access to crucial information that could help spot life-threatening conditions such as malignant tumors, organ dysfunction, cerebral or gut hemorrhages and more. More...22 Dec 2022
Novel Device Monitors Breath Sounds to Predict Respiratory Failure in ICU Patients after Extubation
Researchers have developed a novel device that detects abnormal breathing sounds to predict whether an ICU patient is likely to suffer from respiratory complications after removal from a mechanical ventilator, alerting intensive care teams to the need for emergency interventions at an early phase after extubation. More...19 Dec 2022
New Myocardial Infarction Treatment Patch Could Improve Heart Function
Physicians have successfully transplanted a highly integrable in vivo priming bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell (BMSC) sheet based on the utilization of a thermos-responsive nanofiber membrane. Their work has attracted attention from academic circles for developing a human umbilical vein endothelial cell (HUVEC) sheet specially designed for enhancement of an angiogenesis (formation of new blood vessels from pre-existing vessels), which promoted cardiac repair when transplanted together with the BMSC sheet.
