This need is highlighted by the frequency of complications that occur following such procedures. For example, approximately 30% of patients experience problems with electrical conduction in the heart following an aortic valve replacement, leading to a dysregulation of heart rhythm (arrhythmias). Currently, early detection of such complications is only possible if pati...
Currently, there are few tools available that notify users of their UV exposure, especially those that are easy to wear, non-intrusive, and can be used even while at the beach. Researchers at the Technical University of Munich in Germany have now come up with a way to create all sorts of devices that change color when exposed to ultraviolet light. These include contac...
It’s intended to help diagnose and monitor diseases such as Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and multiple sclerosis, though it doesn’t do it on its own. The technology already received EU clearance back in 2017. QyScore quantifies longitudinal changes in brain regions associated with various conditions and helps to eliminate the variability caused by different people assessi...
Using a tablet computer, flight attendants can communicate with physicians on the ground, transmitting observable symptoms, but also streaming data from sensors that can be stuck to the body of the victim. These can include heart rate, temperature, and respiration rate sensors, and the system includes a 12-lead ECG that first responders can be guided to use to potentiall...
The biosensor is a chest-worn wireless sensor that can detect Opioid Indused Respiratory Depression (OIRD), a common and often fatal side effect of using opioid drugs. The biosensor monitors respiratory patterns and analyses them using proprietary algorithms. When the device detects OIRD in the wearer, it sends an alert to designated first responders, who can then int...

The FDA-cleared BioSticker medical device is designed to be worn comfortably on the upper left chest for effortless continuous vit...
The patch was designed to withstand the mechanical demands of heart tissue and mimic the electrical signaling properties that allow the heart to pump blood throughout the body. The researchers believe it brings medtech one step closer to a functional design that could mend a broken heart. Cardiac patches lined with heart cells can be applied surgically to restore hear...
NightWare, a company based in Minneapolis, Minnesota, just won FDA Breakthrough Designation for its Apple Watch app that can detect signs of nightmares. The app can make the smartwatch bring the user out of sleep, using slight vibrations, if there is excess signs of a nightmare, as gathered from the watch’s internal sensors, including a heart rate monitor, gyroscope, and...
Cameras and screens have been used to augment surgeons’ vision for years, enabling them to see magnified surgical sites for greater precision. But as helpful as on-screen technology can be, it can also be challenging ergonomically, as surgeons often struggle to operate comfortably while moving around to look at the screens. “Shoulders and necks are going out, and doctors...

Prof. Dr. med. Frauenfelder (University Hospital Zurich) was a guest at the RSNA booth of AB-CT and shared his experiences from radiological practice on the basis of selected clinical cases: “We use mamma-computed tomography primarily as a supplement or alternative to mammography because it is a compression-free method. For many women, this is a relief from the curren...
The wearables revolution is well underway in healthcare, and patients are already benefiting from portable therapies and monitors that are improving their lives. But many challenges still remain, especially when it comes to implantable wearables. Not only do such devices need to be biocompatible, but they need to be able to function consistently and reliably in the unwel...
The pharmaceutical production of tablets is practically unthinkable without the use of a sieve or a mill. These are needed whenever active and inactive materials are handled and tablets or other products are being manufactured. Sieving machines and mills are used for milling solids to reduce their size. This fulfils two purposes: Firstly, it enlarges the particle sur...
Clinicians are burning out faster than ever before due to a combination of increased bureaucracy, paperwork load, and restrictive regulations. One solution is to find a way to incentivize more people to become doctors and nurses, which is a complicated discussion. Another solution is to take as much non-essential work off of the clinicians’ hands as possible. Some of...
The particle accelerator LHC (Large Hadron Collider) has a circumference of some 27 kilometres and collides proton or ion beams at nearly the speed of light. The LHC is the largest vacuum installation on Earth with thousands of welds, flanges, feedthroughs and complex internal circuits. For the accelerated particles to travel in beam lines, ultra-high vacuum (UHV) is...
