UCSD Professor Joe Wang and colleagues have created a multiple biomarker monitor in the form of a painless microneedle patch, which Wang calls a “complete lab on the skin.” Glucose, lactate and alcohol levels are monitored simultaneously,...
The RESP Sensor from Strados labs received FDA clearance for early, remote detection of lung acoustic and ventilation pattern changes to predict worsening respiratory disease. Lung sounds associated with asthma, COPD, heart failure and infectious diseases...
Alexa Together has partnered with Vayyar, Sky Angel Care, and AltumView to detect falls. If a fall is detected, Alexa asks if help is needed, and then connects to an urgent response line, and alerts emergency contacts. ...
Wearable sensors could improve clinical trials by enabling earlier identification of abnormal reactions. Currently, vaccine safety in clinical trials is primarily determined by participants’ subjective self-reporting. Dan Yamin, Yiftach Gepner, and Tel Aviv University colleagues used...
Amir Amedi and Reichman University colleagues have released a study describing touch-based technology to help people understand speech and sound – and to detect their location in the future. The sensory substitution device can deliver speech simultaneously...
Stanford’s Zhenan Bao and team have developed a stretchable, potentially reshapeable, wearable display that can allow a new way of interactive human-machine interface. “We can see the image and interact with it, and then the display can...
Yi Lu and Benito Marinas at the University of Illinois and University of Texas have developed a sensor that detects both the presence of a virus and whether or not it is infectious, integrating purpose designed DNA fragments...
FIGUR8 has commercialized MGH/MIT Media Lab research to create a sensor and algorithm to measure and track body movement as a biomarker. The wearable creates a movement baseline, diagnoses dysfunction, identifies injury risk, optimizes...
The Apple Watch has become a serious medical monitor. It will now be able to detect falls, contact emergency responders, and diagnose irregularities in heart rhythm and blood pressure. Its ECG app has been granted a De...
