Researchers have introduced a cutting-edge system that merges wearable ECG sensors with machine learning to enable real-time monitoring and early detection of cardiorespiratory problems. Utilizing convolutional neural networks, this innovative approach promises to enhance patient care through timely insights and proactive intervention.
Researchers in Turkey have developed a real-time sign language recognition (SLR) system using wearable sensors, as detailed in the journal Sensors. Combining surface electromyography (sEMG) and inertial measurement units (IMUs), the system translates sign language into text or speech, achieving a high accuracy rate and promising to improve communication for those with hearing impairments.
A study in Nature Medicine examined the use of consumer wearable devices for monitoring heart rate control in older patients with permanent atrial fibrillation and heart failure. The RATE-AF trial found similar heart rate control between digoxin and beta-blocker treatments, demonstrating the potential of wearable technology for continuous patient monitoring and management.
A new study details a groundbreaking imperceptible sweat sensor made from Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMWPE) nanomembranes. This advanced sensor provides accurate and comfortable monitoring of health signals, showcasing significant potential for personalized and wearable health technologies.
Researchers from the Nanyang Technological University Singapore have created a plaster or “band-aid” that measures bodily “biomarkers” perspiration that can reveal health or illness opening the door to a new, non-invasive method for patients to track their well-being.
Researchers in Greece developed a wearable system using five inertial measurement units (IMUs) on the waist, arms, and legs to monitor vital signs during sleep, particularly in individuals with sleep-disordered breathing (SDB). The system demonstrated high accuracy and reliability in estimating respiratory and heart rates compared to traditional polysomnography.
This study utilized wearable sensors to analyze gait in Parkinson's disease (PD) patients, identifying significant gait biomarkers for early diagnosis, subtype differentiation, and disease severity monitoring. The results highlight the potential of AI-based gait evaluation systems to enhance personalized treatment strategies for PD patients.
Recently published in Nature, researchers from the United States highlighted the transformative impact of wearable ultrasound devices in healthcare. Unlike traditional hospital-based ultrasound systems, these wearable devices offer continuous monitoring capabilities, making them ideal for high-risk patients, remote locations, and chronic condition management.
Italian researchers developed a highly selective, enzyme-free electrochemical glucose sensor using carbon nanofibers functionalized with aromatic diamine, showing significant potential for healthcare and food industry applications.
A group of researchers from McMaster and the University of Waterloo have created a painless wearable sensor that can track blood sugar, lactate levels, and other vital health markers continuously and send the data to a smartphone or other device.
