Engineers develop 3D-printed wearable sweat sensor

May 25, 2023 by Geordie Torr

Researchers from the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa College of Engineering have developed an innovative 3D-printed wearable sweat sensor. Dubbed the Sweatainer, the sensor is similar in size to a child’s sticker. ‘3D-printing enables an entirely new design mode for wearable sweat sensors by allowing us to create fluidic networks and features with unprecedented complexity,’ … [Read more...] about Engineers develop 3D-printed wearable sweat sensor

Engineers design sutures that can deliver drugs or sense inflammation

May 17, 2023 by Geordie Torr

Inspired by sutures developed thousands of years ago, a team of MIT engineers has designed ‘smart’ sutures that can not only hold tissue in place, but also detect inflammation and release drugs. The new sutures are derived from animal tissue, similar to the ‘catgut’ sutures first used by the ancient Romans. In a modern twist, the MIT team coated the sutures with hydrogels … [Read more...] about Engineers design sutures that can deliver drugs or sense inflammation

Engineers develop robot head cocktail party

May 10, 2023 by Geordie Torr

A team of engineers at the Augmented Listening Laboratory at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign is creating a ‘cocktail party’ of 3D-printed, humanoid robots that can listen and talk to each other. Realistic talking (and listening) heads such as these are crucial for investigating how humans receive sound and for developing audio technology. Algorithms used to … [Read more...] about Engineers develop robot head cocktail party

Students engineer socks for on-the-go neuropathy treatment

April 26, 2023 by Geordie Torr

A team of Rice University engineering students has designed a wearable electrical-stimulation and vibration-therapy system for people who experience foot pain and balance loss due to diabetic neuropathy. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s 2022 estimates, more than 37 million people in the USA suffer from diabetes. About half of them will develop … [Read more...] about Students engineer socks for on-the-go neuropathy treatment

Students design more user-friendly chest brace

April 19, 2023 by Geordie Torr

A team of engineering students from Rice University in Houston has come up with a potential solution for patients suffering from rib flaring associated with congenital deformations of the chest wall that cause it to jut out or cave in. Pectus carinatum and pectus excavatum are conditions in which a person is born with their breastbone protruding outward or sunken inward, … [Read more...] about Students design more user-friendly chest brace
