New device could help prevent strokes during surgery

July 11, 2023 by Geordie Torr

Researchers at the University of South Florida have developed a device that could help prevent strokes in patients undergoing surgery. Called a DCS − for diffuse correlation spectroscopy − the optical monitoring tool uses fibre optics to emit light and capture a returning signal. The light monitors blood flow to the brain during surgery and gives real-time information. Any … [Read more...] about New device could help prevent strokes during surgery

Battery-free sensor patch can rapidly assess wound condition

July 7, 2023 by Geordie Torr

Researchers at the National University of Singapore (NUS)and A*STAR’s Institute of Materials Research and Engineering (IMRE) have developed a paper-like, battery-free, AI-enabled sensor that can assesses the status of wound healing in 15 minutes. Currently, wound healing is typically examined visually by a clinician. Wound infections are mostly diagnosed via swabbing … [Read more...] about Battery-free sensor patch can rapidly assess wound condition

Engineering student designs affordable prosthetic hand

July 5, 2023 by Geordie Torr

A Staffordshire University engineering student has used his skills to design an affordable prosthetic hand to help others like him. BEng (Hons) mechanical engineering student Luke Cox, 26, was born with ectrodactyly, which means that his right hand is missing fingers. Despite being able to perform most everyday tasks, some still pose difficulties for him, which served as the … [Read more...] about Engineering student designs affordable prosthetic hand

New low-cost 3D-printed, open-source walker breaks borders for global mobility

June 14, 2023 by Geordie Torr

Engineers at Western University in Ontario, Canada, have created a new static, four-legged walker that can be constructed from materials and fasteners commonly available from hardware stores, such as wooden dowels and screws. The joints are all 3D-printed and the entire design is completely open-source, meaning that it’s freely available online for possible modification and … [Read more...] about New low-cost 3D-printed, open-source walker breaks borders for global mobility

Engineers design low-cost blood-pressure monitor that clips onto your phone

June 6, 2023 by Geordie Torr

Engineers at the University of California San Diego have developed a simple, low-cost clip that uses a smartphone’s camera and flash to monitor blood pressure at the user’s fingertip. The clip works with a custom smartphone app and currently costs about US$0.80 to make. The researchers estimate that the cost could be as low as US$0.10 each when manufactured at … [Read more...] about Engineers design low-cost blood-pressure monitor that clips onto your phone
