Researchers Develop New Wearable System for Visually Impaired Users

For decades, computer scientists have been working on automatic navigation systems to help the visually impaired. However, it has been difficult to come up with something easy and reliable to use as the white cane, which refers to a particular variety of metal-tipped cane that visually impaired people mostly use to identify clear walking paths.

Researchers Build Sensors Capable of Detecting Disease Markers in Breath

A tiny, thin square of an organic plastic that can detect toxins in a building’s air or disease markers in breath could soon be the center of portable, disposable sensor devices. By perforating the thin plastic films with pores, researchers from University of Illinois made the devices sufficiently sensitive to detect at levels that are far too low to smell, yet are vital to human health.

New Sensor-Filled Glove Could Help Physicians Give Accurate Physical Exams

Stiff muscles are experienced by everyone at some point due to cold weather, falling asleep in an unusual position, or after a rigorous workout. But people with stroke, cerebral palsy, and multiple sclerosis deal with stiff muscles on a daily basis, making everyday functions such as extending an arm very difficult and painful for them.
