Europe’s healthcare systems face growing pressure: fewer staff, higher infection-control demands, and increased documentation. Estonia is already built for this. With 99% of health data digital, digital trust is built into everyday healthcare – giving Estonian companies a strong foundation for efficient collaboration, fast traceability, and AI-supported operations.
In the future, health monitors and medical devices could be powered by the body’s natural sugars: A new research project aims to harness power from glucose for implantable medical devices.
Pacemakers have a range of different functions, not all of which are needed for every patient – switching off unnecessary features could help extend the battery life of the devices by several years.
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.
To help repair soft tissue injuries of the gastrointestinal tract like ulcers or hemorrhages, EPFL researchers envision a new class of device: a pill-sized, swallowable bioprinter.
Fujifilm Healthcare Europe announces the release of a new upgrade for its diagnostic ultrasound system Arietta 850 FF Endo, enabling Attenuation Measurement (iATT) and 2D Shear Wave Elastography (SWE) compatibility for the linear curved array Fujifilm EG-740UT ultrasonic endoscope.
An expert summit for craniomaxillofacial (CMF) care brought together leading surgeons to explore how digital technologies are reshaping surgical planning, precision, and patient outcomes.
Stroke patients in four NHS hospitals are now receiving genetic tests that determine whether a commonly prescribed drug will work for them – a breakthrough that could transform treatment for millions. Digital approaches are spearheading a drive to help make genomic medicine part of everyday care. The role of digital tools was a central theme at the HETT (Healthcare Excellence Through…
A new study demonstrates drones can deliver life-saving AEDs in just minutes from an emergency call – potentially doubling survival rates in out-of-hospital cardiac arrests.
A new ultrasound helmet capable of influencing deep brain regions without surgery opens up new possibilities for neurological research and treatment of disorders such as Parkinson’s disease.
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.
New AI-powered solutions for cardiac ultrasound: Italian medical imaging specialist Esaote will be present at the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) Congress 2025, which starts today (29th August) in Madrid.
For Sakura Finetek, the ECP congress theme “Tradition meets the future” reflects who we are: a company deeply rooted in histopathology tradition, with a proud legacy of quality and reliability, yet constantly pushing boundaries to transform the future of diagnostics.
Researchers have developed a new, data-driven way of fitting prosthetic legs which could lead to better fitting prosthetics, in less time and at a lower cost.
To help people with hearing loss, researchers develop an AI-powered lip-reading camera that translates lip movements into sound. The device could also work in areas with a lot of background noise.
Remote monitoring via microfluidic platforms, AI-assisted sensor systems, and more: Attendees of the Labmed Forum at Medica saw impressive examples on how wearable technology is becoming a transformative force in laboratory medicine to improve real-time monitoring of patients, covering widespread conditions such as diabetes, asthma and COPD.
