November 17th, 2017 EasyScan GO, an AI powered microscope developed by Chinese manufacturer Motic, has the capability to automatically and accurately quantify malaria parasites in a blood sample. Utilizing machine learning algorithms, the microscope is so efficient that it can identify the amount of parasites present in under 20 minutes. Premiered at the...

November 1st, 2017 Researchers at the University of Helsinki and Helsinki University Hospital have created the first AI that is capable of estimating the functional brain maturity of pre-term babies. The software interprets electroencephalography (EEG) measurements taken from preterm infants to make calculations about the brain’s functional...
Nanomedicine

February 23rd, 2017 Researcher Dr. Luan and his interdisciplinary team from the University of Texas at Austin have developed an ultra flexible nanoelectronic thread (NET) that has the potential to offer a new type of the long-term neural implants. Neural probes are used to directly measure or even stimulate electrical activity in specific regions of the...

February 9th, 2017 Scientists have been attempting to produce practical ingestible electronics for years, and now researchers at MIT and Brigham and Women's Hospital, may have figured out how to power them using surrounding fluids in the gut. Previously developed ingestible electronics typically use batteries that contain materials that, if leaked, are...

February 8th, 2017 A new ultrasound device developed by a research team from Nanyang Technological University in Singapore utilizes a superior 3D printed resin lens to produce sharper and higher fidelity ultrasound images. Conventional ultrasound devices create ultrasound waves by heating up a glass lens with sound waves, which creates high frequency...

February 1st, 2017 In two newly published studies in Nature Biomedical Engineering, researchers trained a neural network to diagnose congenital cataracts with the same level of accuracy as individual ophthalmologists. Congenital cataracts is a rare disease that results in clouding of the eye’s lens and is responsible for about 10% of childhood...

January 17th, 2017 IEEE Spectrum is reporting that researchers, Deji Akinwande and Nanshu Lu at the University of Texas at Austin, have developed a bio-integrated health sensor that can be applied to the skin like a temporary "tattoo" to take measurements of vitals signs. Utilizing graphene, the tattoo has a significantly smaller form factor than...

October 27th, 2016 Vertera Spine’s COHERE cervical interbody fusion device is the first porous PEEK implant cleared by the FDA. Unlike conventional devices, which are typically porous metal or metal-coated PEEK implants, the COHERE is composed of Vereta Spine’s PEEK (polyetheretherketone) Scoria biomaterial, an interconnected micrometer-scale porous...

February 8th, 2016 Performance Sports Group, the parent company of Bauer Hockey, has developed a promising device that may decrease the prevalence of concussions in athletes. Though there have been plenty of helmets and mouthguards that attempt to mitigate damage to the brain, these safety precautions still leave space for the brain to slosh, which causes...
Nanomedicine

January 21st, 2016 Post brain surgery or cranial injury patients require close monitoring of intracranial pressure (ICP) and swelling in the brain. Conventional implants are used to monitor patients' status, but carry their own risks. Permanent neuronal sensors can facilitate the growth of biofilms, trigger allergic reactions, and potentially exacerbate...
