Researchers from North Carolina State University have found a way of binding peptides to the surface of gallium nitride (GaN) in a way that keeps the peptides stable even when exposed to water and radiation. The discovery moves researchers one step closer to developing a new range of biosensors for use in medical and biological research applications.
A cold 'sensor' which triggers the skin's vascular response to the cold could represent an exciting new therapeutic target for the treatment of frostbite and hypothermia, according to scientists at King's College London.
Driven by the ambitious objective to quickly detect the Ebola virus in the blood at a very early stage to minimize further transmission, STMicroelectronics and Clonit, in collaboration with Italy's National Institute for Infectious Diseases Lazzaro Spallanzani, have developed, in a few weeks' time, a prototype portable analyzer able to identify the presence of the Ebola virus in less than 75 minutes.
Valencell, a leader in performance biometric data sensor technology, today announced it is seeing a staggering demand from its licensees for highly accurate, clinically validated biometric technology. This demand, the Company revealed, is not solely coming from fitness and health sectors, but first responders/military and gaming industries as well.
Vital Connect announced today that its FDA-cleared wearable biosensor, HealthPatch® MD, is now available for use in clinical trials in partnership with Medidata, a leading global provider of cloud-based solutions for clinical research in life sciences. HealthPatch® MD can be used with Medidata’s industry-leading technology platform (Medidata Clinical Cloud®) and its mobile app for patient-reported outcomes (Medidata Patient Cloud®) to further remote patient monitoring, which has the potential to make clinical trials more efficient.
In a study in the journal Neuron, scientists describe a new high data-rate, low-power wireless brain sensor. The technology is designed to enable neuroscience research that cannot be accomplished with current sensors that tether subjects with cabled connections.
An ambitious Arizona State University project to validate health and wellness technologies in the clinic will be featured at the main stage of the world’s largest mobile health event in the world, the mHealth Summit.
A team led by biologists at The Scripps Research Institute (TSRI) has solved a long-standing mystery in neuroscience by identifying the “mechanoreceptor” protein that mediates the sense of touch in mammals.
Persistence Market Research has published a new market report titled “Global Market Study on Biosensors: Asia Pacific to Witness Highest Growth by 2020,” which states that the biosensor market is estimated at USD 12.9 billion in 2014 and is expected to reach USD 22.5 billion by 2020, growing at a CAGR of 9.7% from 2014 to 2020.
