A team of researchers, led by Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) Professor Eric Ledet, will investigate whether small wireless sensors incorporated into orthopedic implants could be used to detect surgical site infections. The research is supported by a $429,560 grant from the National Institutes of Health.
Engineers and physicians at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine have developed a hand-held, battery-powered device that quickly picks up vital signs from a patient’s lips and fingertip.
Scientists at VIB and KU Leuven have shown that blocking the PHD1 oxygen sensor hinders the activation of p53, a transcription factor that aids colorectal cancer (CRC) cells in repairing themselves and thus resisting chemotherapy. Chemotherapy resistance remains a major clinical issue in the treatment of CRC. These findings indicate that PHD1 inhibition may have valuable therapeutic potential.
Researchers from North Carolina State University have developed an efficient algorithm that can interpret the wheezing of patients with breathing difficulties to give medical providers information about what's happening in the lungs. The research is part of a larger, ongoing project to develop wearable smart medical sensors for monitoring, collecting and interpreting personal health data.
The Office of Research has announced the winners of the inaugural Strategic Collaborative Faculty Grant Program, initiated by the Office of the Assistant Vice President of Research, Strategic Implementation.
GlySens Incorporated announced today that it has secured FDA approval for extending the current human clinical evaluation of its fully implantable continuous glucose monitoring system (the ICGM® System) from the originally approved six-month duration to the system's commercially-intended operational duration of twelve months.
Smartphone applications and wearable sensors have the potential to help people make healthier lifestyle choices, but scientific evidence of mobile health technologies' effectiveness for reducing risk factors for heart disease and stroke is limited, according to a scientific statement from the American Heart Association, published in the association's journal Circulation.
Sensoria Inc, leader in wearable fitness technology, today announced the 2015 line of wearable fitness gear and integrated running system, along with updates to the accompanying Android app. The new line of smart sports bra and t-shirt, along with the newly available running system will improve consistency, accuracy, and user experience, providing customers with greater insights about their running style and physical performance.
DexCom, Inc., a leader in continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) for people with diabetes, announced today that it has entered into an agreement with the life sciences team at Google to jointly develop a series of next-generation CGM products that are designed to be smaller and less expensive than existing technologies. These new products will incorporate Google’s miniaturized electronics platform with DexCom’s best-in-class sensor technology.
Researchers at MIT’s Koch Institute for Integrative Cancer Research have designed a miniature biochemical sensor, which can be implanted in cancerous tissue during the preliminary biopsy.
