Engineers at John Hopkins University have developed a cryoablation probe as a low-cost alternative breast cancer treatment for use in developing countries. The probe uses widely available carbon dioxide to expose cancerous tissue to extremely […]
Engineers at Duke University have developed a portable 3D printed retinal scanner that could offer a low-cost option to countries with limited resources. The optical coherence tomography (OCT) scanner is fifteen times lighter and smaller […]
Researchers from the University of Stanford have developed a pair of smart glasses that autofocus based on the wearer’s eye movement. The glasses are a means of combating presbyopia, a condition where the lenses in […]
Researchers from the University of Lancaster, in the United Kingdom, have developed a smart wristband that can sense the wearer’s emotions. When the wristband detects a certain level of emotional arousal, it changes color allowing […]
Researchers from the Houston Methodist Research Institute have developed a remote-controlled drug delivering implant for use in chronic disease management. The implant, which is about the size of a grape, delivers continuous, predermined dosages of […]
Engineers at the Pohang University of Science and Technology, in South Korea, have developed a flexible, wearable vibration sensor that accurately recognizes the user’s voice. The sensor is designed to be worn on a person’s […]
A team of researchers at Daegu Gyeongbuk Institute of Science and Technology, in South Korea, have developed a scaffold microrobot that can precisely deliver stem cells to specific tissues, including the brain. The microrobots are […]
Engineers at the University of Texas at Austin have developed a stretchy, lightweight e-tattoo that can monitor the wearer’s heart for extended periods of time. The device is more accurate than current electrocardiograph machines and […]
Engineers at the University of Leeds, in England, have developed a small robotic pill that can be guided through the colon as it takes micro-ultrasound images. The device is called Sonopill, and could one day […]
Researchers at the University of Washington have developed a way to monitor a person for cardiac arrest, while they sleep, without using any attached monitoring device. To do so, they use smart phones or speakers, […]
