Researchers at the University of California San Diego (UCSD) have developed an electronic patch that can monitor biomolecules within deep tissues. It’s hoped that this patch will allow medical workers unprecedented access to crucial information […]
University of Central Florida researchers now have a technology for treating osteoporosis using nanobubbles to deliver treatment to targeted areas of the patient’s body. Osteoporosis is a disease marked by an imbalance between ossification – […]
The School of Electrical Engineering and Telecommunications at the University of New South Wales (UNSW) in Australia has put together a multidisciplinary team to create a new method for measuring neural activity using light. This […]
Researchers at the University of California San Diego Center for Wearable Sensors have created a self-powered sensor to monitor metabolites in the small intestine. The sensor could potentially help with gastrointestinal health, nutrition, diagnosis and […]
Micro-roboticists are working towards a new way of delivering cancer-killing compounds – called enterotoxins – to tumors using bionic bacteria that are steered by a magnetic field. These engineered microbes will function as “micro-robots” that […]
Researchers at Bar-Ilan University in Israel have been addressing the challenges presented by transdermal drug delivery (TDD). In order to penetrate the skin, the particles being administered must be no larger than 100 nanometers, they […]
Dr. Hong Chen at Washington University in St. Louis (WUSTL) has received a three-year US $750,000 grant from the Office of Naval Research to develop wearable sensors to aid in the detection of blast-induced traumatic […]
The Army’s Medical Technology Enterprise Consortium (MTEC) has issued a request for the Burn Digital Assessment project (BDA). BDA is seeking to develop a rugged handheld device that will measure the severity of burns on […]
The U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) has issued a broad agency announcement for the In the Moment (ITM) project. ITM seeks to develop the use of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning technologies […]
The U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory recently issued a solicitation for the Real-Time Assessment and Augmentation of Cognitive Performance in Extreme Environments project. The project seeks to develop wearable sensors to detect fatigue and stress […]
