Stretchable Strain Sensor Used to Create New Wearable Blood Pressure Devices

Researchers have developed a stretchable strain sensor that has an unprecedented combination of sensitivity and range, allowing it to detect even minor changes in strain with greater range of motion than previous technologies. The researchers demonstrated the sensor’s utility by creating new health monitoring and human-machine interface devices. More...

Capsule-Sized Biobatteries Could Power Ingestible Cameras in Small Intestine

Tech companies have developed many devices that work outside the body, such as cell phones, smart watches, tablets and hundreds of others. Inside the body, though? That’s obviously trickier for several reasons, but power for a device is a big one. Now, biobattery researchers think they have a solution for the hard-to-reach small intestine, which winds around the human gut for an average of 22 feet. More...

Wearable Skin Patch Monitors Hemoglobin in Deep Tissues to Help Diagnose Tumors

A team of engineers has developed an electronic patch that can monitor biomolecules in deep tissues, including hemoglobin. This gives medical professionals unprecedented access to crucial information that could help spot life-threatening conditions such as malignant tumors, organ dysfunction, cerebral or gut hemorrhages and more. More...

Novel Device Monitors Breath Sounds to Predict Respiratory Failure in ICU Patients after Extubation

Researchers have developed a novel device that detects abnormal breathing sounds to predict whether an ICU patient is likely to suffer from respiratory complications after removal from a mechanical ventilator, alerting intensive care teams to the need for emergency interventions at an early phase after extubation. More...

New Myocardial Infarction Treatment Patch Could Improve Heart Function

Physicians have successfully transplanted a highly integrable in vivo priming bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell (BMSC) sheet based on the utilization of a thermos-responsive nanofiber membrane. Their work has attracted attention from academic circles for developing a human umbilical vein endothelial cell (HUVEC) sheet specially designed for enhancement of an angiogenesis (formation of new blood vessels from pre-existing vessels), which promoted cardiac repair when transplanted together with the BMSC sheet.

Soft, Robotic, and Implantable Ventilator Improves Lung Capacity for People with Diaphragm Dysfunction

A new proof-of-concept design by a team of engineers aims to one day boost the diaphragm’s life-sustaining function and improve lung capacity for people with diaphragm dysfunction. More...

Breakthrough Early Warning Solution Detects Possible Sepsis in Patients

Early detection of sepsis has been associated with decreased mortality. Now, a new breakthrough early warning solution is designed to help clinicians detect physiologic deterioration associated with the onset of sepsis and track the progress of the patient’s condition during its duration. More...
