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....
Facebook and NYU’s fastMRIproject, led by Larry Zitnick, uses AI in an attempt to make MRI imaging 10 times faster. Neural networks will be trained to fill in missing or degraded parts of scans, turning...
Dina Katabiand MIT CSAIL colleagues have developed ReMix, which uses lo power wireless signals to pinponit the location of implants in the body. The tiny implants could be used as tracking devices on shifting tumors...
Stanford’s Casey Halpern and Allen Ho have used deep brain stimulation to target nucleus accumbens, thought to reduce impulsive behavior, to combat alcoholism in animal and pilot human studies. DBS is used in severe Parkinson’s disease...
Pratik Shah, Gregory Yauney, and MIT Media Lab researchers have developed an AI model that could make glioblastoma chemotherapy regimens less toxic but still effective. It analyzes current regimens and iteratively adjusts doses to...
Rutgers scientists Mehdi Javanmard and Abbas Furniturewalla have developed a wrist wearable that can count particles, including blood cells, bacteria, and organic or inorganic air particles. Red blood cell counts can indicate internal bleeding. High or...
MIT’s Hadley Sikes has developed a sensor that determines whether cancer cells respond to a particular type of chemotherapy by detecting hydrogen peroxide inside human cells. The technology could help identify new cancer drugs that...
Georgia Tech’s Woon-Hong Yeo has developed a proof of concept, flexible, stretchable sensor that can continuously monitor hemodynamicswhen integrated with a stent like flow diverter after a brain aneurysm. Blood flow is measured using capacitance changes....
Microsoft’s Glabellaglasses, developed by Christian Holz and Edward Wang, will have integrated optical sensors that take pulse wave readings from three areas around the face, according to their recently granted patent. Blood pressure is...
Stanford’s Alberto Salleohas created a patch that continuously monitors cortisol levels in sweat. Potential uses include sports performance measurement, early disease detection, adrenal and pituitary gland monitoring, and evaluating the emotional state of young...
