Eue-Keun Choiand Seoul National University colleages have developed an atrial fibrillation detecting ring, with similar functionality to AliveCor and other watch-based monitors. The researchers claim that the performance is comparable to medical grade pulse oximeters....
University of Vermont researchers have developed an algorithm that detects anxiety and depression in children’s voices with 80 per cent accuracy, according to a recent study. Standard diagnosis involves a 60-90 minute semi-structured interview with...
Yossi Buganim from The Hebrew University of Jerusalem has discovered a set of genes that can transform murine skin cells into all three of the cell types that comprise the early embryo: the embryo itself,...
Edward Chang and UCSF colleagues are developing technology that will translate signals from the brain into synthetic speech. The research team believes that the sounds would be nearly as sharp and normal as a real person’s...
Tel Aviv University professor Tal Dvir has printed a 3D vascularized engineered heart, including cells, blood vessels, ventricles and chambers, using a patient’s own cell and biological materials. A biopsy of fatty tissue was taken from...
Alan Jasanoffand MIT colleagues are using MRI to monitor calcium activity at a much deeper level in the brain than previously possible, to show how neurons communicate with each other. The research team believes that...
Hatice Altug and EPFL BIOS Laboratorycolleagues are developing photonic chips that count individual biomolecules and determine their location. This could identify trace amounts of undesirable biomarkers in blood or saliva and serve as an early-warning system for...
Luis Parada and Sloan Kettering colleagues are focusing on cancer stem cells as a new approach to glioblastoma. Like normal stem cells, cancer stem cells have the ability to rebuild a tumor, even after most...
Xia Huiminand Guangzhou Women and Children’s Medical Center researchers used AI to read 1.36 million pediatric health records, and diagnosed disease as accurately as doctors, according to a recent study. Common childhood diseases were detected...
Riyi Shi and Purdue colleagues have developed a tiny, spinal cord-implanted, 3D printed sensor that quickly and accurately tracks glutamatein spinal trauma and brain disease. The goal is to monitor drug effectiveness, and predict migraine headaches in...
