Consumers are increasingly turning to wearable devices to learn more about everything from their heart rate to sleep quality. Yet, the question remains: What can all of this data tell us about people’s overall health? The University of Michigan has launched a study to discover if data collected on Apple Watch, combined with other health
In ‘Differential thermal analysis of the antibacterial effect of PLA-based materials planned for 3D printing,’ authors P. Maroti, B. Kocsis, A. Ferencz, M. Nyitrai, and D. Lorinczy explore the opportunities biomedical applications offer to research and medicine, along with the importance of evaluating materials used in creating devices. In this study, researchers are specifically concerned
On a mission to improve robotics, researchers have developed a sensor-packed glove that can learn the signatures of the human grasp. The sensor will help the neural network to identify objects by touch. The aim of the development, which comes from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, is to pinpoint the signals that can help a neural
Just over a year after Roche and GE joined forces to develop clinical decision tools to help guide treatment, the duo have announced their first product. The result is a clinical ‘dashboard’ – called NAVIFY Tumour Board 2.0 – which brings together data from diagnostic tests and medical imaging into one place, and according to
Organovo Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:ONVO) (“Organovo”), a biotechnology company pioneering the development of 3D bioprinted tissues aimed at treating a range of serious diseases, today announced a collaboration with Professor Melissa Little at the Murdoch Children’s Research Institute (“MCRI”), The Royal Children’s Hospital, Melbourne, Australia and Ton Rabelink at Universiteit Leiden (“LUMC”), Leiden, Netherlands. The project will expand the use of 3D bioprinted stem
The wearable neurotechnology market targets consumers with promises of cognitive benefit and personal wellness. Scientific evidence is essential to substantiate claims about utility, safety, and efficacy and for informed choice and public trust. nhance your memory. Boost your mood. Lose weight more easily. Learn golf, CrossFit, or the clarinet faster. Or even: Regain more independence,
A new report, with contributions from the National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering (NIBIB), part of the National Institutes of Health, provides a roadmap for translational research on artificial intelligence (AI) in medical imaging. The report, published in the May 28, 2019, Journal of the American College of Radiology, identifies research priorities that leverage
Leading biopharmaceutical organizations join Project Baseline initiative to engage more patients and clinicians in research and speed evidence generation Verily, an Alphabet company, today announced strategic alliances with Novartis, Otsuka, Pfizer Inc. and Sanofi to develop digitally innovative, patient-centered clinical research programs using Project Baseline’s evidence generation platform and tools. The Baseline Platform is designed
CEO Steven Collens shares his thoughts on what the healthcare system will look like 20 years from now. One day, a doctor will reach out to you before you even know you’re sick. That’s the future we see coming to life in the technologies emerging from the healthcare innovation community. One of the most interesting
In the paper “Three‐Dimensional Bioprinting in Regenerative Medicine: Reality, Hype, and Future,” authors Anthony Atala and Gabor Forgacs explore some necessary topics within 3D printing and bioprinting. The technology has brought forth incredible innovation capable of transforming manufacturing, design mechanisms, and offering never dreamed of self-sustainability that could be even more useful in the future
