New wearable ultrasound device can monitor heart function on the go

February 1, 2023 by Geordie Torr

A team of engineers and doctors at the University of California San Diego has developed a wearable ultrasound device that can assess both the structure and function of the human heart. Crucially, the portable device, which is roughly the size of a postage stamp, can be worn for up to 24 hours and works even during strenuous exercise; issues with heart function often manifest … [Read more...] about New wearable ultrasound device can monitor heart function on the go

Scientists develop precision arm for miniature robots

January 20, 2023 by Geordie Torr

Scientists at Eidgenössische Technische Hochschule Zürich have developed an ultrasound device suitable for performing a wide range of tasks in micro-robotic and micro-fluidic applications that can be attached to a robotic arm.   The device is comprised of a thin, pointed glass needle and a piezoelectric transducer – similar to those used in loudspeakers, ultrasound … [Read more...] about Scientists develop precision arm for miniature robots

Engineers design skin patch that can monitor haemoglobin in deep tissues

January 4, 2023 by Geordie Torr

A team of engineers at the University of California San Diego has developed an electronic patch that can monitor biomolecules such as haemoglobin in deep tissues, giving medical professionals unprecedented access to crucial information that could help spot life-threatening conditions such as malignant tumours, organ dysfunction, cerebral or gut haemorrhages and more. ‘The … [Read more...] about Engineers design skin patch that can monitor haemoglobin in deep tissues

Engineers develop wearable heart failure monitor

December 15, 2022 by Geordie Torr

Researchers from Florida Atlantic University’s College of Engineering and Computer Science, in collaboration with FAU’s Christine E Lynn College of Nursing, have developed a prototype of a wearable device that can continuously monitor all of the physiological parameters associated with heart failure in real time. There are currently two heart failure monitoring systems … [Read more...] about Engineers develop wearable heart failure monitor

Bioengineers design device that can halt and reverse muscle atrophy

November 24, 2022 by Geordie Torr

A team of bioengineers at the Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineering at Harvard University and the Harvard John A Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) has developed a mechanically active adhesive that functions as a soft robotic device that can prevent, and support the recovery from, muscle atrophy. When muscles aren’t exercised enough, … [Read more...] about Bioengineers design device that can halt and reverse muscle atrophy
