Tufts University engineers have designed and demonstrated new flexible thread-based sensors that are capable of measuring the neck movements, offering information on the direction, degree of displacement, and angle of rotation of the head.
Researchers from Skoltech and the University of Texas Medical Branch (US) have shown how optoacoustics can be used for monitoring skin water content, a technique which is promising for medical applications such as tissue trauma management and in cosmetology. The paper outlining these results was published in the Journal of Biophotonics.
A highly sensitive wearable sensor for cardiorespiratory monitoring could potentially be worn continuously by cardiac patients or others who require constant monitoring.
For people struggling with obesity or suffering from serious health-related problems due to weight gain, gastric bypass surgery, at times, becomes the last option.
In a paper published by the journal Matter, engineers from the University of Surrey together with partners from Harvard University, University of Science and Technology of China, UK National Physical Laboratory, George Washington University and Zhejiang University Ningbo Research Institute report on how they have developed a breakthrough sensor system and manufacturing process.
The huge impact of the recent COVID-19 pandemic, along with other chronic health risks or diseases, has triggered substantially the need to develop and apply bioelectronics and medical devices for real-time monitoring and diagnosis of health status.
Serotonin is a neurochemical that plays a critical role in the way the brain controls our thoughts and feelings. For example, many antidepressants are designed to alter serotonin signals sent between neurons.
Scientists from Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) and surgeons from Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (BIDMC) have conducted the first human clinical trial to confirm the accuracy and practicality of an oxygen-sensing liquid bandage that quantifies the amount of oxygen in transplanted tissues.
By analyzing Fitbit data and self-reported symptoms, researchers from Evidation Health and collaborators analyzed trends in heart rate, step count, and symptom duration between patients with flu and those with COVID-19. While both showed similar-looking spikes in resting heart rate and decreases in average step count, COVID-19 symptoms lasted longer and peaked later.
Scientists from Evidation Health, based in the United States, and their collaborators analyzed Fitbit data and self-reported symptoms to study the trends in heart rate, symptom duration, and step count between patients with flu and those with COVID-19.
