Researchers from the University of North Carolina (UNC) and NC State have conducted a feasibility study of automatic external defibrillator (AED) delivery via drone to test whether drones could deliver the life-saving devices faster than […]
Duke University’s Pratt School of Engineering has established the Sherry and John Woo Center for Big Data and Precision Health – a big data analytics center that will support global research to advance precision medicine […]
A cross-disciplinary research team led by Subhanshu Gupta, assistant professor in Washington State University’s School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, has designed an implantable, biofuel-powered sensor that runs on glucose harvested from body fluids […]
The University of Waterloo’s School of Optometry and Vision Science now features a new virtual reality (VR) training lab funded through an $800,000 CAN investment by FYidoctors. The lab simulates a patient’s eye and provides […]
Researchers at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Eshelman School of Pharmacy have demonstrated an artificial-intelligence design that can teach itself how to design new drug molecules and has the potential to dramatically […]
Researchers at MIT have developed microscopic chemical sensors that can be sprayed as an aerosol mist. Spray-able sensors could someday be used to detect gas leaks, pollution from power plants, volatile organic compounds, and other […]
Medical professionals from the National Defense Medical College (NDMC) in Japan recently participated in a subject matter expert exchange with their counterparts at the Naval Medical Center San Diego (NMCSD). NDMC is Japan’s six-year university-level […]
The Ministry of Health of the Republic of Vanuatu and UNICEF have issued a request for tender inviting drone companies to bid on a contract to provide the logistical services to deliver vaccines via drones […]
Researchers at MIT have developed an ingestible sensor equipped with genetically engineered bacteria, that can diagnose bleeding in the stomach or other gastrointestinal problems. Called a “bacteria-on-a-chip”, the technology combines sensors made from living cells […]
People who suffer tendon, ligament and joint injuries often require surgery followed by a rehabilitation period to restore the repair site to its pre-injury function. Existing implantable sensors – designed to be able to measure […]
