Sweat Sensor Detects Key Biomarkers That Provide Early Warning of COVID-19 and Flu
A team of bioengineers has designed a wearable sensor that can detect two key biomarkers of infection in human sweat, a significant step toward making it possible for users to receive early warnings of infections such as COVID-19 and influenza. More...04 May 2022
Wearable Health Tech Could Measure Gases Released From Skin to Monitor Metabolic Diseases
Most research on measuring human biomarkers, which are measures of a body’s health, rely on electrical signals to sense the chemicals excreted in sweat. Now, a new study suggests that a wearable sensor may be able to monitor the body’s health by detecting the gases released from a person’s skin. More...02 May 2022

It includes a wearable device that provides autonomous detection and defibrillation for ventricular arrhythmias, if needed. More...13 Apr 2022
World's First AI-Ready Infrasound Stethoscope Listens to Bodily Sounds Not Audible to Human Ear
A new technology draws lifesaving medical insights from listening to bodily sounds that cannot be heard by humans and combines AI to provide disease classification for cardiopulmonary diseases, including COPD, pneumonia, asthma, and cardiac morbidities. More...12 Apr 2022
POC Diagnostic Platform Offers Handheld, Instrument-Free PCR Testing for STIs
Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) can cause serious complications, and they require communication with patient partners who may or may not be symptomatic who also need to be treated. Knowledge is vital to the prevention and treatment of STIs. Now, the first instrument-free PCR test detects three of the most common and treatable STIs with results available within 30 minutes, during the patient visit. More...31 Mar 2022
World's First Robotic Clinical Assistant for Hospitalized Patient Care Launched
Robot Doctor, LLC (Biloxi, MS, USA) has launched the world's first Robotic ClinicalAssist for hospitalized patient care. The ClinicalAssist is a computer on wheel that can be placed in the patient’s room at the hospital and is connected to telemetry monitors and electronic medical records. The Robot will actively monitor for the availability of abnormal data and collect appropriate medical history that will help to determine the patient’s clinical condition. More...24 Mar 2022
AI-Enabled Tool Predicts Heart Attacks by Measuring Coronary Plaque Buildup in CTA Images
Investigators have created an artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled tool that accurately predicts which patients would experience a heart attack in five years based on the amount and composition of plaque in arteries that supply blood to the heart. More...24 Mar 2022
