A new generation of wearable medical technology aims to revolutionize patient care, as showcased in novel E-skin patches monitoring cardiac activity and 'smart' contact lenses for early detection of glaucoma. Another strong argument for gender equality in medical staff is made in a new study on surgery teams, and new imaging techniques advance diagnostic capabilities. We also look into a new approach to vaccines, which aims to outpace emerging pathogens. Enjoy reading!

Article • E-skin patches
How “intelligent” skin could highlight cardiac conditions
Two companies are combining their unique expertise to develop intelligent e-skin patches to “self-sense” cardiac events in patients. The flexible patch platform will deliver a comprehensive understanding of both electrical and mechanical heart ...
