You’ve injured your knee. A doctor straps a listening device to it, and the noises you hear coming out of it are cringe-worthy. “Crackle! Krglkrglkrgl! Snap!” Your knee isn’t breaking; it’s only bending, and in the future, those sounds could help doctors determine whether the convalescing joint is healthy yet, or if it needs more therapy. Research engineers at the Georgia Institute of Technology are developing a knee band with microphones and vibration sensors to listen to and measure the ...

Flu vaccine delivered through painless microneedles in patches applied to the skin could soon be an alternative to delivery through hypodermic needles, according to researchers at Emory University and the Georgia Institute of Technology. Using new grants from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) totaling approximately $11.5 million over five years, researchers from the two institutions plan to develop a new vaccine product using the microscopic needles. "A vaccine administered through a sk...

Thimble Bioelectronics, a California-based company that focuses on developing digital pain management products, announced on this week that it is working on a wearable pain relief patch. Similar in look, size and shape to an ordinary band-aid; the product is based on Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS), a type of therapy that uses low-voltage electrical current for pain relief. Just place it where it hurts. The optimal waveform, amplitude, and modulation pattern settings are au...

The process is touted to be completely painless for all parties involved (both the patient and the doctor), unless somebody mistakenly arms the laser with deadly force and fil...

Airing has invented a micro CPAP device that has no hoses, no cords, and no masks. And we did it for one reason: too many sleep apnea patients don’t wear their CPAP masks at night. And who can blame them with those awful masks, cords, and hoses. Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is a form of positive airway pressure ventilator, which applies mild air pressure on a continuous basis to keep the airways continuously open in people who are able to breathe spontaneously on their own. It i...

  John Rogers, a materials science professor at the University of Illinois with a bold vision: Someday, he believes, we will all have sensors on our bodies that send information to a mobile phone, similar to the way a car’s sensors feed the vehicle’s computer. While all biostamps have a few common characteristics—they stretch like skin, include flexible circuits, and can be powered wirelessly— different functions require different sensors. The butterfly sensor on the left is desig...

Engineers at Michigan State University working with folks at Bell Labs have developed WEARABLE TECHNOLOGY that could help detect health risk, depresion. It may be small, so small it’s hardly noticeable, but it could someday save lives. “It” is wearable technology that can monitor a person’s eating, drinking, coughing and even social habits, and that’s information a health care provider could find useful when treating someone dealing with obesity, diabetes, asthma or even depression. Thi...

Researchers have developed an integrated, wearable system that monitors a user’s environment, heart rate and other physical attributes with the goal of predicting and preventing asthma attacks. The researchers plan to begin testing the system on a larger subject population this summer. The system, called the Health and Environmental Tracker (HET), is composed of a suite of new sensor devices and was developed by researchers from the National Science Foundation’s Nanosystems Engineering Resear...

Bowden and Gennifer Smith, a PhD student in electrical engineering at Stanford, detail their new low-cost, portable device that would allow patients to get consistently accurate urine test results at home, easing the workload on primary care physicians. Other do-it-yourself systems are emerging, but the Stanford engineers think their approach is inexpensive and reliable, in part because they base their system on the same tried and trusted dipstick used in medical offices. https://youtu.be/...

Researchers at the Nutrition Obesity Research Center at the University of Alabama in Birmingham, Ala, found that obese women get just one hour of vigorous exercise each year, while obese men exercise fewer than four hours, Foxny HealthDay reports. “They’re living their lives from one chair to another,” Edward Archer, a research fellow with the Nutrition Obesity Research Center, said. “We didn’t realize we were that sedentary. There are some people who are vigorously active, but it’s offset by...

Although it's known that flowers communicate with pollinators by sending out electric signals, just how bees detects these fields has been a mystery – until now. Using a laser to measure vibrations, researchers found that both the bees' antenna and hairs deflect in response to an electric field, but the hairs move more rapidly and with overall greater displacements. Researchers then looked at the bees' nervous system, finding that only the hairs alerted the bee's nervous system to this sig...
