POSTECH professor Sung-Min Park and researcher Sunguk Hong have developed optical sensor technology, integrated with computer vision, to track muscle movements in rehab patients with limited mobility. The sensors are flexible, lightweight, and able to gauge subtle body changes, while...
Kun-Hsing Yu and HMS colleagues used AI to rapidly determine a brain tumor’s molecular identity during surgery, propeling the development of precision oncology. The tool is CHARM (Cryosection Histopathology Assessment and Review Machine.) Currently, genetic sequencing...
MIT’s Canan Dagdeviren has developed a flexible ultrasound patch that can be attached to a bra, obtaining ultrasound images with resolution comparable to medical imaging centers, and used repeatedly. Interval cancers, which develop between regularly scheduled mammograms,...
Judy Wawira Gichoya and Emory colleagues have developed an AI model that detects warning signs for diabetes in x rays collected during routine exams. The signs were also detected in patients who do not meet elevated...
MAGENTIQ-COLO is an AI based FDA cleared colonoscopy device which offers a significant increase in Adenoma Detection Rate. Current high rates of missed and undetected adenomas during colonoscopy means that even regularly screened patients are...
Hatice Altug, Hilal Lashue, and EPFL colleagues have developed ImmunoSEIRA, an AI-enhanced, biosensing tool for the detection of misfolded proteins linked to Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s disease. The researchers also claim that neural networks can quantify disease...
Harvard professor Chris Sander used clinical data from 6 million patients in Denmark’s national health system and 3 million in the U.S. VA system to train an AI model to predict the occurrence of pancreatic cancer within 3,...
EPFL professor Grégoire Courtine has created a “digital bridge” which has allowed a man whose spinal cord damage left him with paraplegia, to walk. The brain–spine interface builds on previous work, which combined intensive training and a lower...
Giovanni Traverso has designed tough, absorbable, hydrogel-coated sutures, which in addition to holding post-surgery or wound-affected tissue in place, can sense inflammation and deliver drugs, including monoclonal antibodies. They could also be used to deliver stem...
Adam Sonaband and Northwestern colleages used a skull-implantable ultrasound device to open the blood-brain barrier and repeatedly permeate critical regions of the human brain, to deliver intravenous chemotherapy to glioblastoma patients. This is the first study...
