Cambridge’s Anna-Maria Pappa, KAUST’s Sahika Inal, and colleagues have developed a low cost, molecular wired sensor that can measure metabolites in sweat, tears, saliva or blood. It can be incorporated into flexible and stretchable...
Myant‘s Tony Chahine reimagined human presence at ApplySci’s recent Wearable Tech + Digital Health + Neurotech conference at Stanford:
Hossam Haick at Technion-Israel Institute of Technology has developed a body heat powered, self-repairing system of sensorsfor disease detection and monitoring. Unlike other wearables, the ability to derive energy from the wearer, and to fix...
MIT’s Timothy Luhas developed an ingestible sensor with embedded genetically engineered bacteria to diagnose bleeding or other gastrointestinal issues. The “bacteria-on-a-chip” approach combines living cell sensors with ultra-low-power electronics that convert the bacterial response...
UCSD’s Joe Wang‘s needless adhesive glucose monitor has begun a phase I clinical trial. The small patch measures insulin levels through sweat on the skin, eliminating the need for a skin prick. The paper –...
Carla Pughdiscussed hacking healthcare with sensors at ApplySci’s Wearable Tech + Digital Health + Neurotech Silicon Valleyconference on February 26-27, 2018 at Stanford University:
Purdue’s Craig Goergenhas developed a sensor-based supine pressor test to detect preeclampsia. The technology measures and notes the difference between a pregnant woman’s diastolic blood pressure while in two different positions, using a BP...
Apple has been granted a patent for phone technology using a front-facing camera and light, proximity, and multiple sensors to measure body fat, heart rate, circulation, blood pressure, and breathing, as well as emotional state via...
UCSD’s Timothy O’Connor and Darren Lipomi have developed The Language of Glove — glove that wirelessly translates American Sign Language into text, and controls a virtual hand to mimic sign language gestures. It was...
University of Tokyo professor Takao Someya has developed a hypoallergenic, adhesive, continuous health sensor. The device can be worn comfortably for a week because of its nanoscal mesh elastic electrodes. This allows the skin...
