Carlos Milla, Ronald Davis, and Stanford and Berkeley colleagues have developed a wearable sweat sensor for detecting cystic fibrosis, diabetes and other diseases. It can also aid drug development and personalization, and continuously monitor...
The Verily Study Watch passively captures health data for continuous care platforms and clinical research. Key features described by the company include: Multiple physiological and environmental sensors are designed to measure relevant signals for...
CNBC’s Christina Farr has reported that Apple has been quietly developing a non-invasive, sensor-based glucose monitor. The technology has apparently advanced to the trial stage. Diabetes has become a global epidemic. Continuous monitoring, automatic insulin delivery,...
Apple has filed patent applications describing wireless earbuds that monitor health while a wearer talks on the phone or listens to music. This has obvious exercise-related implications, but could potentially track the physiological impact...
Forward has brought advanced technology to well-care. Patient/Members are integrated into the practice with a baseline screening via body scans, blood and genetic tests. They are then given consumer and medical wearables, which work with...
Consumer wearables can complement medical devices by integrating activity data into a disease management strategy. Fitbit movement data will now be used with a Medtronic diabetes management tool, with the goal of users predicting...
Stanford’s Michael Snyder has published the results of a health wearable study, in which 2 billion measurements were taken from 60 subjects, concluding that such devices can be used to predict illness. Continuous biosensor data, plus blood...
Stanford professor Zhenan Bao‘s latest bioelectronic innovation has disrupted wearable technology as we know it. The ultra-flexible transistor can be stretched to twice its length, without losing conductivity. Conductors are confined inside an extremely thin,...
