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. With an emphasis on remote monitoring, devices are…
‘Intelligent bedside terminals’ installed at the upcoming NHS National Rehabilitation Centre in Loughborough are designed to help patients engage in their ongoing rehabilitation.
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.
From identifying under-utilized rooms to tracking spare mobile equipment like wheelchairs, spatial awareness technology is evolving to improve day-to-day operations on healthcare sites. The technology, which is already being deployed in airports, universities and industrial premises, is now seeing growing applications within hospitals. At the HETT (Healthcare Excellence Through Technology) North…
At Medical Taiwan 2025, manufacturers attracted attendees with a wide range of innovations. We took a closer look at some of the most exciting companies and their products on display at the medical, health and care expo.
Korean researchers have developed a wireless implantable drug delivery system that enable chemotherapy drugs to penetrate deep into solid tumors—without harming surrounding healthy tissue.
Beyond the visible spectrum: A new LED-based hyperspectral imaging system shows promise for gastrointestinal cancer detection during endoscopy.
An implantable device could save diabetes patients from life-threatening hypoglycemia. Remaining under the skin, it can be triggered to release glucagon when blood sugar levels get too low.
Medical Taiwan has long been a showcase for cutting-edge healthcare solutions, but this year marked a pivotal moment. Visitors of the latest edition of the medical, health and care expo in Taipei witnessed a particularly noticeable step forward: the definitive transition of medical AI from promising research to actual clinical practice. Organized by the Taiwan External Trade Development Council…
Using 48 cameras simultaneously to provide better insights during live surgery: A new kind of surgical microscope is designed to meet the need for better 3D imaging.
An ultra-thin implant could repair injuries to the spinal cord with carefully controlled electrical current. This could help restore movement and revert loss of sensation, the researchers hope.
