Some arrhythmias, particularly short episodes of atrial fibrillation, may go unnoticed until they cause serious health problems. Novel wearable technology aims to pick up on these hidden signs.
Engineers have created a soft, wearable ultrasound patch that can continuously monitor a fetus for hours at a time — and do so even as the fetus and umbilical cord constantly move during pregnancy.
A new clinical trial has identified new opportunities to improve recovery for intensive care survivors through remote rehabilitation delivered in patients’ homes.
A compact LED module pairs UV-A, green and IR light with a matched photodiode to detect AGE autofluorescence — bringing biochemical risk screening to wearables and point of care testing.
RFID – the same wireless technology that can track pets or locate items – can also be used to measure breathing in patients with impaired lung function contactlessly – in hospital or at home.
Australian researchers have unlocked the possibility of creating smart wound dressings that enable real-time monitoring while also delivering healing agents in one simple, scalable platform.
Northwestern University researchers have developed the first device that can continuously track a fetus’s vital signs while still in the uterus — a feat that previously has not been possible.
Introducing mobile iCTG dramatically improves the detection of fetal heart rate abnormalities and strengthens perinatal outcomes - even in resource-constrained environments, a new study shows.
After T-cell redirecting therapies, patients are typically hospitalized for several days to watch for side effects. New research shows that these patients can safely be monitored at home.
Type 1 diabetes is demanding for patients. A new study shows the benefits of a systematic, intensive treatment with remote monitoring of glucose levels and weekly healthcare contact.
With Taipei City Government's support, six Taipei companies will showcase innovative biotech and medical device solutions at MEDICA 2025 (Nov 17–20, Düsseldorf), advancing healthcare with speed and precision.
Traditional diagnostic methods for epilepsy face significant limitations. A new clinical trial explores the potential of advanced brain monitoring to improve diagnosis and management of the condition.
Children with asthma using at-home monitoring are around half as likely to visit the ED or be hospitalised, compared to those only receiving care from their medical team, new research shows.
Use of an AI voice agent to prompt self-reported blood pressure readings may help improve accuracy of at-home blood pressure measures and patient outcomes in older patients with hypertension.
Traditionally, measuring heart rate requires some sort of wearable device. Now, new research shows how the signal from a household WiFi device can be used for this crucial health monitoring.
A new method to monitor blood flow in the brain helps neurosurgeons detect the risk of a stroke during surgery – and potentially prevent it. This could also be useful for other types of operations.
Through quantitative real-time monitoring of cell spatiotemporal dynamics, or cell changes over time, electrical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) could be used to predict cancer growth.
Manual calibration and parameter input in systems are time-intensive and error-prone, posing significant challenges across life sciences and hospitals. With a new generation of sensors, The Dickson Company aims to deliver a smarter, easier to use, and more autonomous monitoring solution.
Newly developed technology can detect breast cancer relapses up to five years in advance. This advance could represent a turning point in post-treatment follow-up, the researchers hope.
