A team of scientists, guided by Trisha L. Andrew, Professor of chemistry and chemical engineering at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, recently stated that they have fabricated a new material capable of solving one of the most challenging issues in the hunt to develop wearable, unobtrusive sensitive sensors: the issue of pressure.
Frequently, low-resource regions lack the medical technology to evaluate when things are going wrong at the time of birth.
At the University of Cincinnati, biomedical engineers state that the interstitial fluid, the watery fluid found between and around tissues, cells, or organs in the body, could offer an outstanding medium for disease diagnosis at an early stage or long-term health monitoring.
Researchers at Simon Fraser University (SFU) have been developing an innovative, new biosensor for the screening and early detection of Alzheimer’s and other diseases.
A new “smart patch” has been developed by a chief scientist from Swansea University. The device can detect proinflammatory biomarkers of neurodegenerative diseases (like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s) via the use of microneedle technology.
For several neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s, Tau and tubulin proteins are known as one of the major causes.
North Carolina State University scientists have created a stretchable strain sensor that showcases an unparalleled combination of range and sensitivity, enabling it to identify even minute changes in strain with a greater range of motion than earlier technologies.
Recently, at the University of San Diego, a research team has been working on a photoacoustic sensor that could give clinicians access to key data that will allow them to diagnose tumors, organ malfunction, and other health concerns.
Heart failure affects approximately 64 million people worldwide. The American Heart Association estimates that 6.2 million adult Americans currently have heart failure, and that number will rise to 8 million by 2030.
Fast, economical and precise tests continue to be indispensable for epidemiological investigation and for health services to track and control the escalation of SARS-CoV-2.
