iBOT – powered wheelchair
The iBOT is a powered wheelchair developed by Dean Kamen in a partnership between DEKA and Johnson and Johnson's Independence Technology division.
iBOT has a number of features distinguishing it from most powered wheelchairs:
By rotating its two sets of powered wheels about each other, the iBOT can "walk" up and down stairs, much like a cog railway or a rack and pinion with the two wheels as the "teeth" of the gear. The wheels can roll slightly at each step to compensate for a wide range ...

Dubai to build 3D printed office
The United Arab Emirates National Innovation Committee has unveiled plans to build the world's first 3D printed structure with a massive, 20-foot-tall 3D printer. Though many structures have utilized 3D printing, none have been entirely built by using the technology. Everything - the building's structure, interior finishes, and furniture - will be 3D printed in sections and then assembled on site, according to a report by 3DPrint. The 2,000-square-foot building will then be used to house the Mus...

Wearable device that can be used to monitor patient conditions around the clock
Scientists at Northwestern University and University of Illinois have collaborated on creating a wearable device that can be used to monitor patient conditions around the clock. The thin, flexible patch moves with the person’s skin, and so should be unobtrusive to wear. The patch requires no electricity; a matrix of 60 by 60 liquid crystals provides 3,600 points of measurement.
A new wearable medical device can quickly alert a person if they are having cardiovascular trouble or if it’s simply...

A Personalized Virtual Heart Predicts the Risk of Sudden Cardiac Death
Recently scientists and researchers at Johns Hopkins University developed an assessment technology that is much better at predicting arrhythmia risk than the blood pumping test. The team performed pre-implant MRIs from patients who were determined to need defibrillator implants. They used the MRIs to create personalized, virtual 3-D hearts. They then used the 3-D models to simulate the electrical processes in the heart to predict the likelihood that the virtual heart would develop arrhythmia. If...
